A Whole New World

Such a tiny miracle is growing! We are so proud to be expecting a sweet little baby! Mommy is already looking forward to making up the spare room into the nursery! It so early to tell, but mom is convinced that it's a boy. But both of us just want a healthy and happy baby!

So a little bit about our little family!
Arfan and I met while I was on active duty in the Army. He was activated from his reserve unit and as fate would have it, we were able to meet and the rest was history. I believe that I had a crush from the very beginning. I never really thought it would turn into anything, but I couldn't be happier that it did!

After about a year of dating, Arfan was done with his activation and was moving back to his hometown in Buffalo, New York. I was finished with my active duty service time, and wasn't about to give up on love. Instead of moving back home, I made the choice to create a new place to call home and be stay with Arfan.

Arfan is a registered nurse by profession and I'm currently a practical nurse. I'm working on finishing up my RN degree and Arfan is looking to go into graduate school. I think our careers in the nursing field give us some understanding about each other. I think that anyone can be a nurse, but it takes a special person to be a great nurse. I think that's what attracted me to Arfan in the first place. He doesn't take crap from anyone like I do, but he is caring and compassionate at the same time.

We are so excited to be expecting our little miracle!

& Toby makes 5

I got the call from Arfan today. I was in the middle of classes and he asked when I had a break. This never, and I mean never happens. So interested I naturally asked what was up. I found myself shortly leaving class and driving down to the SPCA. After my arrival, it wasn't long before I found my sweetie, and the cutest little puppy sitting on the bench next to him. I couldn't say no to that cute little face if you paid me. He was so sweet, with chocolate brown fur and a little black nose and floppy ears. He is are dog from right then and we gave him the name Toblerone - Toby for short. He is perfect!
