Glendale Chocolate Affair

I have two loves of my life.  One of them is chocolate.  So naturally when I heard of the Glendale Chocolate Affair, I had to go.  It would be a sin not to, right?  We did go on Saturday and it was amazing.  People from all over the country come to Glendale and sell chocolate from booths set up in a park. I must admit that they were a little stingy on the samples though.  We toured Cerretas, which if you live in Phoenix, is a definite must see.  It's the only one in the country and they have chocolate that is divine! 









On our way back to the park, we saw this...


It's a decked out fire truck that has TVs and grills and a soda machine on the side!

A Long Time in Coming

I really have let this go by the wayside.  I keep debating with myself whether or not I want to keep a blog.  Hardly anyone looks at it and I am kind of creeped out by the random people who may be looking at pictures of my family.  So, if you want me to stick around, leave me a comment! 
So much has happened in the past, oh, 7 months!  We had a beautiful baby boy in November.  I chose to be induced, which was not my first choice, but it worked out great.  He came into the world about 8 hours after first arriving at the hospital with no pitocin and no epidural!!!  I couldn't have asked for a better delivery.  He was 8 lbs 2.5 oz and 20.5 inches long.  We call him Ben and he has blonde hair and blue eyes.  So far, he takes after the best of both of us.  We can only pray that tradition continues...
Here are a few pictures of our baby boy!







I LOVE every moment of every day that I get to spend with him!
