{Breakfast}

Im not usually a big breakfast person. Usually I will eat a piece of toast or something very small. Lately though, I have been really enjoying making & eating breakfast! This morning I made breakfast Couscous.

To make Breakfast Couscous {My way}:

{Butter, Couscous, Coconut, Agave nectar (or sugar) milk & Sliced Almonds}

In a small Saucepan, Combine about 1t. butter, {I used homemade butter} & 1/4C. Agave Nectar.

Once Butter & Agave Nectar are completely melted & combined, add 1C. Couscous.

Mix in Couscous, & Lightly brown. 

Then, add 1 1/4 C. Boiling water & remove pot from heat. Cover Pot & let sit for 5 minutes.

Once Couscous is done, transfer a good amount of Couscous to a bowl & top with Almonds & Coconut flakes. {I used unsweetened}

Serve with a little bit of milk poured over the top. Enjoy! 

{An old friend comes to visit}

My husband's best friend in the whole world is a great guy named Jeremy. Jeremy is always at our house hanging out with Willy & me. He is basically Family! We Do everything together.

{In Chandler after our weekly brunch!}

Any who, Jeremy has an older brother, Brandon. He is one of our best friends as well! About two years ago, Brandon moved to Washington to try to venture out & do something new! We have been constantly trying to convince him to come back because we miss him so much!  & every time we talk to him he says he wont be back for a long time. 

Well, the other day, Jeremy came to our house, just like he normally would. He walked in, we shut the door, & Immediately began talking about goofy stuff. Then, all of a sudden the door bell rang.We were all confused, we weren't expecting any one. I opened the door, & who was standing there???? BRANDON! I could not contain myself!!! I was screaming and so was everyone else! It was such a wonderful surprise! Brandon is just visiting for a few days, but we will never stop trying to get him to move back home :)

 {Believe it or not, this is the most normal picture I could get of them!!} 

WE LOVE YOU BRANDON!!! :) 

Oh, & I got a new hair cut a couple of days ago. Im not really sure what I think about it yet. Still trying to get used to it :) Tell me what you think!!

Here all all the necessary ingredients:

In A Cuisinart mixer {Or blender, i imaging it would work just as well!} Put in {2 packets of oatmeal.}Pulse the Oatmeal just a couple of times. Don't do too much! It should look like this:

Add to the ground Oatmeal, {1 Cup of white sugar} 

Also, Add {1/3 C. Brown Sugar}

Pulse the oatmeal & Sugar mix 2 times. Then add {1 1/2 C. Coconut oil} & {3/4 t. Almond extract}

Put the mixture into cute Jars & Give to your family & Friends! {Or just keep it all to yourself :) } 

* I have been using this Sugar scrub on my slowely growing belly, keeping it moisturized & soft! 

{I use it on the rest of my body too, i just focus a little more on my belly & Anywhere proned to stretch marks, yuck!} & It smells pretty good in the shower too! 

Enjoy! 

Oh! Almost forgot, here is our first belly photo! {Not really much to show yet}  The baby is the size of a small coffee bean right now :)

{Happy Easter!!}

Praise be to the God & Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.." 
{1 peter 1:3} 

As our pastor said this morning at church, "This is the greatest day in history.."
As christians, we celebrate easter because it is the day our Lord Jesus Christ was resurrected from the dead, after dying on the cross for our sins. ALL of our sins. Even the sins we haven't committed yet! {crazy to think about}. At church, we sang the song "Happy Day" by Steve Fee. Today is a Happy day indeed!
I Love Easter, it is always a great time to get together & fellowship with family. {& there's always great food too, cant forget about that!} We spent the day all over the place! Church, then Williams aunts house for his families easter celebration, then {last stop} My mothers house for her easter celebration. Busy day, but a great day! :)

My sister Sarah & me

She still cant believe there's a little baby growing in my belly!

{Frankly, neither can I!}

The Love of my life :)  

{Guess what}

This is the gift we gave our parents last saturday:

Yes! We are expecting :) & we are completely overwhelmed with Joy!

 As of today, I'm 5 weeks. 

This is only the Beginning :)
