Good-Bye 2010, We will never forget you!

2010 will officially end tonight at mid-night. I (for the first time) am sad to see a year go by. We have had the most amazing, joyful, sometimes sad, crazy, happy, beautiful year! We have truly, truly been blessed and are so grateful for everything we have. This year started off we a big bang.... OUR WEDDING! Derek & I got married on January 30, 2010 in Springdale at the United Methodist Church. I honestly didn't think I would make it to walk down the aisle, I thought I would die from a heart attack from all the stress of that weekend. It was the biggest snow storm of the winter, and it just so happened to land smack dab in the middle of our big day!!! Come to find out, what I thought was a disaster turned out to be the most magical event ever. We had all of our family and friends (that could make it) there with us and had a beautiful reception at the Pratt Place Inn. You can find our wedding in the January, 2011 issue of cityscape's!! With such unique snow pictures we got lucky enough to be one of the featured weddings. 



Fast forward several months later....

 June 12, 2010 arrives! Harper Cain Deaton is brought into this world! He came one day after his due date...not to bad! That day was BY FAR the best day of my life. It was a Saturday; I woke up at 1:30 that morning with small contractions....i just knew he was coming! The whole family had made it there when he finally made his appearance at 7:14 P.M. He was an absolute miracle!! That night after everyone finally left, we all three cuddled in the hospital bed and couldn't believe how much love was in the room. It completely took over!

With Harper in our lives, every little thing we do is so much more fun and joyous. We love to watch him laugh and play and really feel blessed for him in our lives. He is almost 7 months old and it is breaking my heart knowing how fast he will grow up. At night, when I'm giving him his bottle I hold on to him so tight and Pray he will always let me hold him. I don't think he needs me as much as I need him. He's my everything.

So tonight; although I will be saddened to see 2010 go, I will celebrate the best and most magical time of our lives and feel so blessed. We will say good-bye 2010 and HELLO 2011, hope its just as amazing!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!



WHOA MOMMA!!



See ya next year!!
