July 4, 2009

Our holiday went off without a hitch, I didn't even throw up.  Which was wonderful seeing that it has been a daily thing this past week.  But since this post isn't about my hormones, pregnancy, bodily changes and regurgitating, I'll change the subject.

Sorry.

By far, the best part of the day had to do with my nephew, who happens to be leaving for the army tomorrow, and his girlfriend.

Aren't they a cute little couple?

He was even cuter when he knelt down and proposed, making this moment the highlight of the day.

And, by the way, she said yes!

And we all cried.

And my girl just watched the entire time with her belly sticking out.

And then the kids all went back to searching for frogs.

It was a wonderful, beautiful day and now we're back to the real world... keeping down half of my meals, but I couldn't be happier for the reason.  Happy Monday from the floor of my bathroom!
