A Brand New Nephew

For the past 9 months I have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of my nephew, Jacob Brady Kasel, and at last he has finally arrived. I got the call at around 2 o'clock Sunday, November 21, 2010 to come to the hospital.

Finally, at 6:15am Jacob was born at 6 lbs 14 oz and 21 inches long. He did have trouble breathing at first because the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck THREE times (very rare) and he aspirated some fluid that filled his lungs. He had to be taken to the NICU where they preceded to suction out the fluid. 

After 4 hours we were able to meet the little bugger, and he continues to get stronger each day, though still has a weak cry and weak lungs. He will be going home tomorrow and I cannot wait to watch him grow up! I am officially in love with my nephew!

Wedding Filled Weekend

November has been one crazy and busy month so far, and it's only going to get better! The past two weekends have been spent with my friend Beki; including her bachelorette party and her wedding. She is the first of my friends who have gotten married and it's a little scary to think that 9 years ago when we meet we were both just scrawny little freshmans in high school and now one of us is married. Although it's taken me about till now to recover from both weekends, it was fully worth getting to spend my friend's most special day with her.

The bachelorette party took place out in Glendale, Arizona in the Glendale Arena mall area. It was a great time spent with great friends.

Oh Beki

Love my friend!

The Bachelorette Party

Her wedding was simply beautiful! It took place out in Mesa at a place called Villa Tuscana and the colors she picked out were beautiful!
