Gender Reveal!!

It is finally time to reveal what so many people back home are waiting for...the reveal of our baby's gender!  I won't muck up the post with a whole bunch of words, I'll let yall experience it as much as you can through the pictures.  But I do have to say thank you to everyone that helped out and that came out to celebrate with us!  It really came together nicely and was so much better than I could have ever planned on my own!  Matthew and I had a blast and appreciate everything everyone did!

So on to the pictures....

First we went to get the ultrasound done and had the tech put the pictures with the gender in a special envelop for later.


Then we gave that envelop to Stephanie, our cake maker! 


Here are some pictures of the setup of the party.



 Lots of good food!





This is the girls' name suggestion tree.



And this is the boys' name suggestion tree.


This is a gender raffle game that we played.  Turns out .... Matthew won! :)


And finally it came time cut the cake!!


Pre-cake cutting (notice me trying to hide the knife from the picture and failing horribly)


I was soooo nervous!  Matthew and I both were!




Don't you just love our expressions!?


And BABY OHRVALL IS.....


A GIRL!!!!  WE ARE HAVING A GIRL!!



Checking the ultrasound photos!





And now we are both TEAM PINK all the way!!  We are thrilled to be having a beautiful baby girl to add to our family and can't wait to be able to start decorating the nursery! 


THE OHRVALLS' ARE EXPECTING A BABY GIRL!!

April Update

I thought that since I had not given an update in a while that is was about time I did.  So I am going to tell you what has been going on this past month. Matthew First  (because his is shorter than mine): Matthew had his certification test this past month as well as his E4 qualification exam.  He took the E4 exam before he had certification tests.  The E4 exam has a lot to do with why he was assigned to unaccompanied travel to Guam.  He was supposed to be ranked up to an E4 before he could be sent overseas as a accompanied traveler.  (If that doesn't make sense to you...join the club)  But, luckily  Matthew feels like he did well on the exam so hopefully he will be ranked up to an E4 and there won't be any controversy over me joining him in Guam.  Then there's the certification tests; these are the tests that he takes at the school for learning how to be a Naval K9 handler.  Matthew feels that he did really well on these tests ...

Burn It Down | October 17, 2018

I want to tell you all a little story about a day that I had recently, yesterday in fact! I'll start where my day always seems to start: Six am on the dot with a mouth breathing Isabella standing right beside my bed.  Anyone else have one of those type of children?  The ones that wake at the same absurd hour of the early morning? Both of my children have inherited that lovely trait from their father, not from me! Anywho, I could sense that she was there; standing beside me, staring at me, willing me to wake up.  You know, that ability to feel someone's presence before you actually see them?  Yep, that is how I wake up most mornings since Matthew left on his deployment. And so the day started!  Conner was already awake as well, I could hear him 'talking' to himself in his bedroom.  So in we went to get Conner up and changed to bring downstairs with us.  Only problem, Conner woke up on the wrong side of the bed on this particular morning.  So ...

Seated with Christ: An Imaginative Activity

This post is from an imaginative activity prompted from the book "Seated with Christ" by Heather Holleman.  The question posed was: "As an imaginative exercise, describe your seat in the heavenly realms with as precise and vivid detail as possible.  What do you see, hear, smell, taste and feel?  What are you wearing?  What are you experiencing in your mind?"  The following is my answer: I'm seated, comfortable and relaxed.  I have no worries.  All I can physically do is sit and stare at the majesty that is my most indescribable Lord that sits before me.  The most magnificent smells of the Earth can not compare to the wondrous smells that permeate the air here.  They remind me of some of my favorite smells on Earth such as lavender, the beach and pine wood needles; but there is something else entirely in the air that I can not put words to.  The songs of angels saturate the air but seem to fade into the background at the same time. ...
