UPDATE!!!

First of all....I need to apologize. I am horrible at posting and I know you have all been checking my blog every day to see if I have done anything. :)
So here's the update:
-Jared is still in school and working full time "and will be for the next 20 years"-Jared said that
-Our house is finally coming around!!! Makes me so happy! I finally feel like my house is getting cute.
-Raymie is now 4 months old!!! She is growing up way to fast and it makes me so sad.
-Raymie ate "food" for the first time yesterday (Nov 19th) as well as her 4 month shots :(
-Yesterday.....Raymie rolled over for the first time!!!! I hate how quickly time is flying by. It's so sad. I'm already getting baby hungry again.....haha NOT...well kinda. But don't be expecting me to have another child anytime soon. Other than the spit up, crying, and no sleep, having a baby is the best blessing ever. We love her to death! Jared is so adorable with Raymie as well, he just adores her....but he would never tell you so (he's a man and men don't get mushy haha his pride gets to him).
EVENTS:
-We went camping in September with the Hendricks Family
-I had Hendricks girls weekend in September as well

Raymie Marie Hendricks

Raymie Marie Hendricks was born

July 17th at 8:51am at 7lbs 8oz and 20inches long.

I was induced the night before (mine and Jareds anniversary,July 16th) at about 9pm. Around 2:30am my water broke and thats when I decided that it was hurting bad enough that I wanted an epidural. I had the epidural around 3am and only my right leg went completely numb. haha it was the weirdest feeling ever. My left leg eventually got a little numb. But I really liked how I could kind of feel it still. Around 6am the nurse came in and gave me some pitocin to get labor going faster. I started pushing around 8:20ish am and out came Raymie at 8:51am.

Raymie 1 week old

Labor was not as bad as I thought it would be....probably because I was numb from the waste down. haha. Epidurals are fantastic. I had a whole crowd attend the birth of Raymie. My mother, my sister, Jared (of course), Jareds sister, Jareds mother and oddly enough...my father. My father however did not watch the birth...after she came out he went straight to the baby. Haha never even looked over at me until I was covered. Good thing....cause that could have been real awkward. haha. Jared was wonderful support the whole time, my sister and sister-in-law kept making me laugh and my doctor and nurse were amazing and quite funny as well. The whole experience was very light and that made it easy for me.

My two loves :)

Raymie is the most beautiful little baby girl ever. It's really weird to think that I'm a mother and Jared is a father. We are so blessed to have her in our lives and I absolutely LOVE being a mommy. Not going to lie, it's hard some days....and nights. I have probably had a total of 72 hours of sleep since she was born. But she is completely worth it. I am so excited to watch her grow.

She does this most of the day...and is up all night. :)

haha....I love her big yawns

ONE YEAR Anniversary

ONE YEAR of pure bliss. It was a lovely anniversary spending it together in the hospital. Jared and I went to Wingers right before we went to the hospital and thats what we did for our anniversary. Haha....not much for our first anniversary, but it was time to have our baby.

I have loved every day that I have been married to Jared, all 376 of them. He has made me such a happy woman. I couldn't imagine life without him.

Jared, if you ever read this, know that I love you. You are truly the greatest thing that has ever happened to me, I love everything about you. Your sarcastic remarks, your pb and j sandwiches...you put the perfect amount of pb and j on, I love how funny you are and how a lot of the time I never know what's going to come out of your mouth. I love how sweet you are to me, even when you're trying to act tough. I love how you pay attention to what I say, even the little things that I don't even remember. I absolutely love how you tease me and how you aren't afraid to tell me how it is. I love how you can "play" with me, how you aren't afraid to be rough with me and "beat me up". I love how gentle you are with me and how you are always ready to protect me...like that time there was a moth in our bedroom and I screamed and you came running into the room ready to protect me and beat anyone that was hurting me. haha and then you weren't to happy with me when you realized it was just a moth. haha you hate it when I scream like that...but I really hate moths. :) Jared I LOVE YOU and I can't help but want to be with you 24/7. I love how good of an example you are to me, you are truly an amazing man and you are such a good person. I love how we are like little kids when we are together. I love that I get to spend eternity with you and I can't wait to continue our adventure together. Thanks for being my best friend and the love of my life.

I love you.

and dont you forget it!!!

Camping and Cabin

Jared and I decided that we needed to try out our new camping gear that we got for Christmas. We were given some sleeping bags and a new tent. It was a Sunday night and we set up the tent in the backyard and we had our own little backyard campout.

CABIN
We had the opportunity to go to my parents cabin in Island Park for a couple of days. Jared and I went with a few friends and we had a lot of fun. I think the boys had a little too much fun. We rode four-wheelers and ate smores and roasted Starbursts. YUM!!!
