    Congratulations!! How exciting! I am looking forward to following along on your pregnancy journey. Oddly enough, as I was catching up on your posts this week, I even had the thought, I wonder when they will be adding to the fam! I am so interested to see how Sadie does with no longer being the baby in the family! 🙂 Congrats again xoxoxo

    Congratulations to you, Ryan and Sadie! I’m sure you all and your families are over the moon!

    Congratulations to Ryan and you! I have been reading your blog for a while now and really enjoy your positive outlook on life. I am more like your mom’s age, but still enjoy your content and your grounded way at looking at life. I’ve been following along with your travels and adventures, was rooting for your sister to marry her boyfriend, was interested in your most recent move, and all along in the back of mind was wondering about that “next step”. You are such a fine young woman and will make a wonderful mother as well. I’m sure that positive, unaffected attitude you bring to your daily life will translate over to how your raise your little one. Blessings!

    Okay, I totally should’ve written it down somewhere because about three weeks ago I told the Mr “I think Julie is pregnant.” I can’t think of anything you wrote to hint at it or anything. Must’ve been that glow! 😉

    Congrats to you all (including Sadie!)

      Truth be told, we weren’t even thinking babies when I wrote that post!! I really did get off it b/c I hated the way I felt on birth control. 🙂 But a baby did come shortly after and we are so thrilled!
