Two pink lines :)

January 11th, 2009 was a life changing day!!
Michael Scott Zaro and Karen Lisseth Zaro found out that they are going to be parents!!!
There were lots of emotions going through us - maybe the most dominant was a mixture of shock and excitement haha but we are so excited to bring a little angel (boy- according to Michael's revelation :)) into our family. Michael and I can't stop looking at babies everywhere we go. They are all so precious and sweet - really one of the greatest gifts from heaven!! I am 6 weeks already!! Who knew there was a little person forming in me since the beginning of December?! It is all so exciting!!
I always heard and read about the horror stories of morning sickness, but I was blessed with good pregnancy genes I guess because I have felt pretty dang good! There has been the occasional nausea and fatigue but I'm not complaining! I can't wait to hold our little one in my arms and give him/her little kisses all over his/her tiny little body. As scary and overwhelming as it can be at times, we are thrilled! Can't wait to meet out little Peep!

Oriental Date Night .....

Last Monday I surprised Michael with a romantic, inexpensive dinner. I took out the sushi set we've won the previous year on the annual Zaro's white elephant party, dim the lights, lighted a few candles, clear the furniture away, arranged colorful pillows on the floor, and enjoy dinner (fresh from Panda YUM!!!) with chopsticks for our oriental date night :) It was the perfect night!! Michael's face made it all worth it!! It definitely made my night!! I was so glad I was able to do something nice for my sweet hubby who every day makes sure I know how much he loves me.

Our New Apartment ... Heaven made at Home

Yes, it's official Michael and I are now proud owners of a brand new apartment!!! What a blessing this opportunity has been! To think that we will be living in our own place after 8 long months is exciting and really humbling in the sense that there will be a lot of responsibility that goes along with it but we are thrilled! We couldn't take all the credit for being able to rent the place, we have been blessed all along the way and we are so very grateful for both our families whose help allowed us to save money to be on our own again! We have truly been blessed with wonderful parents, we couldn't ask for more!! Here are some pictures of our new place when we first moved in. Pictures of what it looks like now will be forthcoming SOON!!! :)
Our little breakfast bar, great for entertaining!!!

Our small beautiful kitchen, great for a relaxing night making dinner with my hubby!!
