Updates

Oh my goodness, we haven't updated this thing in almost a YEAR!! So nuts! Oh my so much has happened! We are still in Berkeley, California and absolutely love it. Luke still loves his job and never wants to leave! I have been working at a dental office as a receptionist. Who would have thought right? The girl with the Business and Anthropology degree a receptionist? I love it. This has been our year of traveling and babies! First we headed to France to visit my sister Rachel and her family and to welcome the 5th Gailont child!! I can't believe my sister has 5 kids (all with cute little french accents!)! She welcomed another girl into the mix! Evie was so excited to find out she would have a girl to play with instead of all of her brothers! On November 14th little Marci Anabelle Gailont was brought into the world! She is perfect and everyone adores her. It was great to spend a couple of weeks in France getting to know Marci and spending time with the family! We spent Christmas in London, it was magical and we loved it so much! In mid January my best friend and cousin Kendra had a baby too!! This is seriously the year of babies! And I can't believe everyone I know now has babies! Let me tell you Kenny and Darin make beautiful babies! Little Lee Robinson White is such a handsome little fellow! I was so glad I got to travel down to San Diego to spend time with Kenny and her little family! My little sister Beven also had another baby! My goodness! So in March Luke and I went down to Arizona to meet Holden Thomas Palmer he is a cutie too! His big brother Alex adores him! How does my little sister have 2 kids now? For real it's crazy! My other little sibling Owen and his wife Annie also welcomed a new member into their family, Henry Dale! He looks just like Owen, so glad we got to go to Illinois to meet him (How does Owen have 3 kids!?)! We just got back from Atlanta visiting with Luke's little sister Ellie and her husband Clark, because guess what!? THEY ALSO HAD A BABY! Which is weird because I feel like we just got back from their wedding in Alabama, nope that was 2 years ago! They had a little girl, Frances Quinn Westbrook and boy is she a beauty! We are so grateful that we have such a large family and that we have the opportunity to spend time with them! We are so blessed that we can travel to all the different places of the world where our family is to be with them! In August we are traveling to Utah for my cousins wedding and then following that we are off to New Zealand!!! I'm so freaking excited! Luke has a project that he is working on and we will be there for a month! I am so grateful for my life and I feel so blessed to be an aunt to so many wonderful beings. I love each and every single one!  Mainly just our family and close friends know this but we are unable to have children. The moment we found out it broke our hearts. It still does, especially for me. It's hard for me to see all of these people I love having so many babies and I can't even have 1. It breaks my heart, which makes me feel like a terrible person. I am so happy for all of my family and friends having babies and yet I am so jealous, envious. It's a struggle I deal with daily. Even though I am unable to be a mom, I know I am so blessed to be an aunt to so many. 34 to be exact. I love each and every single one so much and I know that I am called to be their aunt. I'm so grateful for this past year and for the wonderful man I get to share eternity with. I am forever grateful we were both flying to Salt Lake on June 31st, 2004. I am so grateful our paths crossed in Detroit and I am so grateful for that clumsy attractive man who wasn't paying attention and ran into me, for I have never and will never love anyone on this earth as much as I love my Lucas Robert Walsh.
