| Busy year ahead! |

This past month has been so busy! (eeek! explains my lack of posts) I've got my hands in a couple of exciting adventures, and being busy is good! 

Life is happening so fast. 2011 is already proving to be quite a year. My sis-in-law got engaged to a great guy! Excited to see the family grow. Pictured below, us 'kids' celebrating with delicious steak and lobster! 

Congrats An + Mike!

In baby news, our lil one continues to grow! We had our 20 week appt and baby is looking good! I can't believe we're already at the halfway point. We've decided to keep the gender a surprise!!! Everyone at the Dr. office was surprised. They said it's so rare these days to not find out! We think it's more fun this way. I've never really been a pastel color (pink or blue) kinda gal. We just want to have a fun, unique baby room with bright colors :) So far, we've been calling the baby, Taylor. It's a good boy and girl name for the time being- until we really look into names.

Me and Taylor at 20 weeks! 

| Engagement Anniversary |

This past weekend, my husband and I celebrated our one year proposal-versary!! It really is amazing how fast the time flies- we had a quick engagement and have been married for almost 5 months now! I just love this man!!

August 29, 2009

My love gave me the dream proposal any girl could only wish for!! We had a zipline date planned for a couple of months, and I was really excited about it.

 

Little did I know that he had a top secret undercover plan that involved 33 family members and friends that flew in from all over to celebrate us!! 

Behind the scenes: everyone arriving, setting up Gator-themed balloons, and heading out to meet us for the grand finale!

 

Practicing the 'buddy system'. It was dark outside and they wanted to make sure everyone was in the right spot!

As I flew in on the last platform, my fiance to be was waiting on his knee with a ring in his hand. I was laughing, crying, screaming (I had noticed some familiar faces waiting off to the side), and overwhelmed with love for this man!

 

Still in utter shock!

 

What I saw as I was zipping in: "Will You Marry Me, Sonja?"

 

The safari ride back to the hall was so much fun. I had NO idea anything was going on behind the scenes! We told so many stories where they almost slipped, and why Binh was 'working late nights', or 'stuck in traffic' all those times- he was planning our engagement!! I'm so gullible. 

Back at the main hall of the zipline safari center. Binh had rented out the entire place for continued celebrations with everyone :)

 

With our sisters :)

 

Engaged to be married! I couldn't stop smiling!! 

 

God has truly blessed me with you in my life. So excited for all the wonderful things to come and all the memories that we get to share everyday of forever! Love you, bubs!!
