Oh where Oh where have I been ????

WOW ... Has it really almost been THREE months since my last blog? My amazing Corey hasn't let me forget!!! But, seriously ... I love him for the extra push that I needed. So, let's catch up.

Since March of this year I have become a stay at home Mom (which has taken a bit getting use to but loving it so so much). Loosing my job in April was very scary, but from this tragedy I've been given the most wonderful gift, and for that I am so thankful.

Corey and Matthew came out to visit for a week in May while Ms. Lindsay went on a trip to New York. While Lindsay was visiting White Castle, catching a Mets Game, shopping, and checking out Time Square we were going to Disneyland, the beach, Sea World, and found out we'd be adding a little boy to our family. It was quite the week for all of us.

Lindsay went to her Junior Prom. She looked amazing and had a wonderful time. There was a group of about 20 couples who went in the limo and the dance itself was at House of Blues at downtown Disney. She also became an official licensed driver and has her very own car. It's been great seeing the independence and responsibility she now has. She's learning her boundaries and testing waters, and I as her Mom am along for the ride and so amazed and so proud of her maturity.

As for the newest addition ... Baby Beckham Kevin Kiddle is due to arrive on 10-10-10 and I am so excited to meet him. He's 1 1/2 pounds, growing and kicking and moving all about. I've had a great pregnancy (minus about 4 weeks during the 1st trimester, but even that wasn't that bad). I'm doing well, and enjoying this gift and the journey.

Next week, Corey and I are getting married on the 16th of June. We're counting the days and have a very simple but perfect ceremony planned in Las Vegas. We'll spend a few days there and then it's back to Utah for him and California for me. Not the ideal thought, but we're doing what we have to, and we're doing a damn good job! He's my strength and my biggest support and I love him to pieces.

Girls camp is calling for me and Lindsay on June 21st. I am soooo looking forward to this year because it will be the last year for both of us. Lindsay is now a JC and has completed all 6 years. She's had a blast, and loves going. I'm sad to see it end, but have been so blessed to have gotten the chance to go every year with her. One of the best weeks each and every year.

OK ... other then a few things I may have missed, I think I've touched on highlights. If I missed something it'll have to remain in my memory.
