First Bump Sightings

Not sure exactly when this picture was taken, but it sure was exciting to start showing .. even if only a small bump.

The Secret's Out

Mom and Dad Ludemann came down to Des Moines to see our Duplex. They brought my Grandma too! We had an enjoyable dinner at our house with the Ludemann's (minus Amber who was sadly in Maryland and not with us) and the Hukee's. What was scheduled to be a celebration of our first dinner all together in our new place turned into a celebration of me being pregnant. We ate the top of our wedding cake (which you are supposed to save until the first year anniversary) and it was so delicious. I know all of you were excited (at least you were after the shock!) but I will never forget how excited you were Dad. You jumped out of your seat and put your arms around Luke and I, putting your head between ours and giving me a kiss on the cheek. Thanks for your excitment! Although I have no pitures to show for this event, it was incredible and worth sharing. And so the trip ended with Grand-parents becoming future great grand parents, parants becoming future grandparents, and Luke and I were two of a kind, workin' on our our full house.

Honeymoon

Luke and I went to Fort Meyers, Florida on our Honeymoon. We stayed at his uncles house juse 15 minutes from the Beach. We had a blast and could have stayed much longer. I have never slept so much in my life. Serisouly, Luke is a great sleeper on the rare occassion he gets the chance to.

In July of 2007 Luke and I were married. We were two of a kind. Two Christians seeking to serve the Lord together for our whole lives while raising up an army of children that the good Lord would bless us with.

It was a fun and beautiful day. Thank you Mom, Dad, and Amber and everyone else for rejoicing with us!
