New Year, New Guffeys

It's a new year! What a great opportunity to refresh, re-evaluate, and re-focus!

One decade ago I was half way through my freshman year of high school. Maroon hair, hemp necklace, and guh-ross eyebrows. Ew. I went to see my first Widespread Panic show that year, knowing just 1 song: One Arm Steve. Thankfully they played it, so it wasn't a total loss. I was 15 and free. No worries except how I was going to pass Algebra II (which I did, barely).

Anyway, the point is a lot has changed in 10 years. I still don't love my eyebrows, but I graduated high school and college, had an adventure out west, and managed to come home and marry the man of my dreams. After 4 crazy, passionate, wild and youthful years together, he decided it was time to marry me. I happily agreed.

As a blog-lover, but also a "I-will-never-write-a-blog" type, this is definitely a new challenge for me. I'm not sure that anyone really wants to read my thoughts or ideas but I am putting them out there. I'm not witty or charming (on paper) and I never really thought I had anything of any importance to say that would constitute writing a blog- I'm not passionate "enough" about a certain cause, I don't have beautiful, wonderful children to share and mostly because I'm just really not that interesting. (Weird? yes. Interesting? not exactly.)

This all, however, changed on December 7th when I found out...

I'M PREGNANT!!!

Ahhhhhhhhh!!!

If you need to, take a moment to breathe. I am.

We were thrilled to find out that we are expecting our first baby guffey sometime this summer. We weren't 'trying' but we also weren't not trying. We had prayed and talked and prayed and talked, and just decided that ultimately this was not our decision, and that God would bless us with a child when he felt it was the right time. Boy, was that fast! :) We are beyond excited and feel incredibly and abundantly blessed.

I am really excited about blogging throughout my pregnancy! Be warned, I am a pretty candid, TMI, dramatic type of person. There my be posts where it is just. too. much. Oops!

Until next time,

The Guff
