Trying my hand...

After years of reading blogs, I have decided to try keeping one for myself. I mainly want to start a blog because soon my husband and I will be starting to try to have a baby...our first after four years of marriage and ten years together. So, this will most likley be a very interesting time in our lives.
To give a little background info, my husband (D) and I are high school sweethearts. We began dating at the ripe old age of sixteen. We were engaged at 18 and have a four year engagement (yes, on purpose...I wanted to graduate college before getting married). So this December we will celebrate our 4th year as Mr. & Mrs. and we have both agreed it's time to try for the newest member of our family. It took me quite a while to get to this point. At one time I even said I wouldn't have a baby until I was 100% ready...well, I know realize that you can never be 100% ready. D & I are pretty much the last of our married friends without child but yet we were one of the first couples to be married! So, it's time. Now I am just worried that I won't be able to conceive but I'll give myself a little time before I start freaking out about that.
D & I leave for Cancun on the 15th of this month and this trip was planned specifically for the reason of being our last "hurrah" as a married couple sans child. I have always known (well, since I got married at least) that I wanted us to go away one last time and have an extremely romantic weekend as our official start date for trying to conceive. Corny, yes, but necessary to me. I am very much looking forward to this trip, even more so than our honeymoon. The only people in our lives that know the real reason behind this trip are my brother & sister-in-law. My sister-in-law has told my mother-in-law but I really don't think it has sunk in since it didn't come from us. I think she has pretty much given up on us as far as babies are concerned! I just can't wait to be able to make the announcement to everyone. I won't even let myself think of ways to make the announcement...I am too afraid of jinxing myself.
Anyway...that's it...my first blog!!! Guess I'll get back to work...
