Expanding our home by 2 feet!

It's blurry, but this reads: PREGNANT; I also took 3 others
This is how I broke the news to Rj; I gave him this framed poem from the "baby", along with a onsie that reads "Daddy's Little Monkey" I knew he'd love it, because he calls my monkey.
Here is the poem:

I do not have a face to see, or put inside a frame. I do not have soft cheeks to kiss; I don't yet have a name. You can't yet hold my tiny hands, nor whisper in my ear. It's still too soon to sing a song, or cuddle me so near. But all will change come July 14th 2010; that's when they say I’m due. I'm your new son or daughter; I can't wait till I meet you. All I ask between now and then is your patience while I grow. I promise I'll be worth the wait, because of all the love we'll know. So what I have to give you now, is a wish to you from me. I cannot wait to be a part of this wonderful family!


New mommy & daddy to be!!!!!

We are so happy to announce that we are expecting our first baby. We found out yesterday and according to online the baby's due date is July 14th, 2010 and Im about 4 weeks tomorrow. I will make my first Dr's appointment around the 6-8 week mark. As of now, I do not really have any symptoms. It still feels make believe. I am looking forward to this beautiful adventure. This will make my dad a first time Grandpa and Rj's mom a first time Grandma. So exciting. My mom is very excited as her other grandchildren are grown now. I have been waiting for this moment my whole life. We cant wait to meet Baby Patterson!

Halloween

Do you remember Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction? Of course you do!
Well, I dressed up as her for Halloween, but after the whole overdose scene. By far my favorite costume ever

Rj's bowling set

Rj and I have found a new hobby that we enjoy with each other very much; Bowling. We even got our own bowling balls, shoes and bags. We are like pro's now ;) Rj got mine for an early Christmas gift. I thought I'd post a few pics just to share

Look how cute Argus & Jojo look in their Halloween T's. I was going to get them costumes, but then they'd really dislike me. ; )

Race for the Cure

I participated in the Race for the Cure Saturday October 17th. It went really well; it seemed as though there were more people this year; which is always great. I got there at about 5:30am and helped set up our Toni & Guy booth. We handed out over 700 goodie bags, raffled off pink flat irons and were doing make up touch ups and bang trims for anyone interested. Our booth is always a big hit. I did the 5k walk with our company President; the weather was beautiful. I will probably participate every year. I really enjoy it and maybe some of you can join me someday ; )

Some good

Its that time of year again, for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. It's this Saturday, October 17th. I participated last year for the first time and it was a very good experiance for me and I have joined again this year. I am also helping our PR team with the Toni & Guy booth. We will be giving free fringe trims and make up touch ups to all the participants. If you're interested in participating and joining our TONI&GUY team (you dont have to be an employee to join), then let me know and we can walk/jog together! Or if you'd like to sign up individually or simply just make a donation, thats great too. I'd be happy to provide more information if needed. I will post pictures from the event next week.
