The Gustafsons: This is the day that the Lord has made.

7 years of wedded bliss! Ted and I celebrated our anniversary on January 1, 2012. It was fun to think back to our wedding day. Oh the snow, ice, sniffles, and cough. But it was the best day! May God bless us with countless more years of wonderful marriage.

January 1, 2005

So this year we celebrating by going out to eat a Granite City in Cedar Rapids followed by a movie, Sherlock Holmes. It was a great time and we owe it to the Schlaaks. Thanks for watching the kiddos Kyle and Lisa.

Other exciting news.....Ted and I are taking a trip to Puerto Rico. We leave on Sunday, Feb. 5. In case you didn't know, that's in a few days!!! We are so excited. We will be leaving our babies with their grandparents for the week. This trip wouldn't be possible without them so THANK YOU! We, or at least their momma, is a little nervous about leaving them so long. We have never left for so long before, but they will be in good hands. We are excited to spend some time in the warm weather and hanging out just the two of us. We are praying for safety and peaceful minds for us and our children during this time apart.

So some of you MAY be wondering what we decided to do with the envelope containing our little pumpkin's gender. Well here it is. We decided to bring it with us our trip to Puerto Rico. We don't know exactly when we will open it, but Ted won't let me not open it ;) Other baby news, baby continues to grow and be active. This may or may not elicit some back pain in his/her momma. But I'm a survivor. Other than not being able to sleep as soundly in the night, this pregnancy is going well. We are praying that back pain is not an indication of back labor.

And last but not least, here are a few random pictures from around the house.
