IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!

Scott and I got to go have an ultrasound done today for my 20 week appointment, and there was some anatomy missing in the ultrasound, so it's a girl!!! She seemed extremely sure and said she didn't want to say 100%...but, 100% it's a girl! We are so excited and can't wait to meet our little baby girl! The due date is staying at dec. 15th. Shana had been nice enough to do an ultrasound for me that showed a little later, but according to her weight and measurements, it looks like my original due date of dec. 15th is pretty accurate, she already is moving a lot and was not so cooperative with the sonographer so I have a feeling she will come whenever she feels like it! Thanks for all the prayers and please keep them coming :)

WE BOUGHT A HOUSE!!!!!

This morning Scott and I heard back from our realtor that we are about to be first time homebuyers! We can't be more excited, it is the perfect starter home for us to welcome little baby brekke home! Here is just a pic from the website, in our opinion it looks much better in person!

WOW I'm a bad blogger!!!!!

Well, I have once again gotten very very far behind on the blogging. We have been gone every weekend and seem to be busy every weeknight when we get home from work, so blogging fell by the wayside.
We have been having a jam-packed, exciting, stressful few months. Most fun and important news is that we continue to prepare for the arrival of baby brekke.....baby girl or boy will be determined in about 2 weeks!!! We are so excited and can't wait to hold them in our arms! Hopefully the next 5 months fly by! Scott's sister heather recently found out she is also expecting and we can't be more excited to have the cousins so close, and it will be very fun to share all the joys of pregnancy together. We're so happy for them. Please keep both us and Heather and Mike in your prayers for very healthy babies :)
We have also been househunting like crazy still, and as of today have put in our fourth...yes fourth offer. We keep getting outbid or the other buyers offer to pay in cash---if they have 125k sitting around, why aren't they looking at more expensive houses? So it has been frusterating but we are gaining a lot of knowledge and we are feeling very good about the one that we just made an offer on, so please keep us in your prayers!
There has been way too much going on to update everything, but hopefully I will get back on track!

House Hunting!

So...this has been a very long time, and sadly it has to be short and sweet since I have to start getting ready for work! Lately we have been pretty busy hopping around to different events such as HIT's (A bball tournament our borowski side participates in every year) a few weekends ago which was very fun! Scott went the whole tournament uninjured, which I believe is a first! So we were very happy with that! Both teams did great and had a lot of fun!
This past weekend we went up to Pine to celebrate easter with both families. It was great being able to see everybody, it seems like time passes so quickly and it is great to be able to celebrate God's amazing Love for us with all of our loved ones!
Some of you already know, but for those who don't: Scott and I have been house hunting for the past 2 months and found quite a few that we really liked, and the trend always seemed to be they would sell either the day we looked at them, or already be sold and the realtors give us bad info. So we were starting to get really frusterated, but we put it in God's hands and are hoping he leads us to the perfect house. Well...we think he may have done that! We put an offer in on a house in forest lake 2 weeks ago, and have yet to hear ANYTHING from the bank, they said it could take up to 8 weeks. Because countrywide is the lender and the house is a shortsale, it is a little complicated but we are willing to give it a try because we love the house that much! We're just asking for everyone's prayers since this process is extremely stressful and LONG! It is all in God's hands, but it is hard not to get our hopes up and secretly start planning how we would renovate the whole house!!!

Fergus Christmas

Well... people may be thinking that I posted this very late...No, we just decided to have Christmas celebrations last weekend! It is so hard to work around everybody's work schedules...and luckily we found a day that everybody could make it and enjoy the celebration! It was so much fun, great food and wonderful company!


Mom, Scott and I headed up earlier than the rest of the family on Friday to get a little extra time with the Lewises and a very special little man! We were amazed at how big he is and how much he has developed since we last saw him...it was crazy! We went out to gramps and grams for dinner and had Grandma's world renown bbq sandwiches, then headed back to the Lewis household.


Saturday Heather and I did our ritual run to Herbergers to browse the sales and made a few other stops! Then we headed back to their home where heather made very yummy sandwiches for lunch! We started getting stuff ready and before we knew it people were all over for the family christmas. High lights of the night were some very intense game play in apples to apples where none other than Kay borowski chose post man for the description of chubby! It was such a great time and we were very sad to head home :(


BUT... we get to go back to fergus at the end of the month and can't wait! Of course I had to take some pictures of the other man that holds my heart :)

SO...This may be my favorite picture of all time...Zac you definitely fit into our family!

Sledding!

A few weeks ago we took the opportunity to go sledding with some of our favorite people: the Hintz family! It was such a great day for sledding, no breeze and about 20 degrees! We had a blast!

Christmas Time!

Well, belated merry Christmas to everyone! We were up in Pine City from Christmas eve until yesterday, so it's a little late!

Scott and I celebrated Christmas with each other a little early this year...we are both antsy! He got me some great gifts: such as a diamond ring that looks like a belt buckle and diamond snow flake necklace. He also gave me the best gift you can give a girl: the gift of shopping! He got some toys from me that I really didn't think through! A nintendo DS and accessories and the new Call of Duty 5 game for his x box: apparently I don't want to see my husband for the next few months because those two presents keep him very very busy!

We started out the festivities Christmas eve making our first stop at Grandma Fischer's! We had so much fun visiting with everyone, playing a very lively round of the dice game...and of course seeing scott's cousin Carrie's adorable little girl: Emma. She is such a happy little girl and has a smile that lights up a room. It is crazy how much older she looks every time we see her! At around 4 we decided we better be heading up to Pine City and went to Mom and Dad H's for stocking opening :) We enjoyed some scrumptious tacos and watched " The Grinch"...a fave!

Christmas morning bright and early we headed over to Mom and Dad B's. We got some amazing gifts including a new kitchen table (which Santa delivered a little early)! It is beautiful and we were very excited to get our little cheapy table out! Scott got guitar hero on tour and guitar hero decades from tim for his nintendo ds....and that was about what he did for the remainder of the long weekend! For dinner we had the best ham I have ever tasted and some cheesy potatoes...mmmm mmmmmm!!! Heather and Mike also brought up their snow mobile for some fun in the snow! It was a great Christmas, time with our loved ones always is great!

Friday we hit the stores bright and early for day after christmas sales, Trent pulled an all nighter in anticipation for the event! Sadly, he was let down...but not Donna and I! We found lots of goodies left over in the christmas aisles :) Friday night we did the Heimdal family gift opening! That is, after an amazing meatball and mashed potater feast! We got a lot of amazing presents there too....top of the list being an awesome video camera. We had no idea we were getting it, and were very surprised and grateful for the amazing gift. I also got a coach purse from Rikki that may be the prettiest thing I have ever carried on my arm...she knows I'm a purse girl just like her!

The rest of the weekend was filled with more fun such as watching marley and me, ordering the UFC fights.......poor Forrest Griffin :( and celebrating Tommy Boy's birthday!

HAPPY 48TH BIRTHDAY DAD!

Although all the presents were amazing and very appreciated, the best part of the weekend was seeing our loved ones and being able celebrate how much the Lord loves us, that he sent his son here for us: AMAZING! !

The boys' picture....aren't they lovely?

Peace, love, and TI
