Long Post!!

Alright it has been a while since my last post. Let's see I have a lot to blog about since then!!! I will go ahead and get started.

Aug 12- I had another Dr's Appt. I was 15 weeks. All they did was blood work and I finally got to hear the heartbeat. Strong heartbeat at 158 beats!!!! I was so excited that I finally got to hear the little one's heartbeat. I am not going to lie, I teared up a little. My next appointment is September 1st. They are hoping that they will be able to tell the sex of the baby!! We are patiently waiting that appointment!

Aug 13- We went to the State Fair with my family for the day. We had 4 tickets to the Sugarland concert. Kyle and I were the only ones who decided to go. Matt & Timi had grandstand seats that Matt got from a buddy.  We had awesome seats Row 17 on the track!! I was so excited once we got to our seats! I told Kyle I had never been that close before!!! I was super pumped for the concert! Sara Bareilles was awesome. After her set we waiting for Sugarland to come on!! The sky towards the west was getting really dark. Kyle kept asking what we are going to do if it rains. He says you know if it is raining you are going to have to run to get dry. I told him I didn't care I had a change of clothes! I really wanted to see Sugarland. Kyle was trying to pull up the radar on his iphone but he couldn't get any connection. The people sitting in front of us had talked to a State Trooper that said that storms were on the way and it was no way going to miss us and they left. Kyle kept trying to talk me into leaving. I kept saying my mom is going to be mad if I leave since she got us the tickets. ( My mom was very grateful Kyle was there and not her, because she would not have left) Finally someone came on the stage and told us that in case they had to evacuate to go across the street to the barns or Pepsi Coliseum.  About a couple of minutes after that annoucement a lot of people started to leave and Kyle finally talked to me to going across the street to wait it out. We got up and the wind really started to pick up. We were still in the infield and we heard the tarp on the stage and a few seconds later the whole stage started to collapse. Kyle grabbed my hand and we just headed to the exit. Everyone was pushing and running. We were scared we were going to get knocked down. On the track there are only 2 ways out. It was terrifying! We are all very grateful that we are all ok. Matt and Timi had left the grandstands as soon as they saw lighting. Once they heard the stage collapse, Matt ran back in to help! I just pray every night for the families of the victims! It was truely one of the most terrifying moments of my life. I am so glad to be here today!!!! I take each day at a time!
Here is the memorial that was outside the grandstand! It was very emotional being back at the fair! We went back on Tuesday after work and met my mom for dinner. (Love fair food)



On a much lighter note, my in-laws moved this weekend from Richmond to Fishers! So this past weekend we were busy helping them move, so we had very busy weekend!

Lastly, I am going to share some pictures my sister sent to me last week of the kids. These kids just light up my world.
