Where to begin?


It's hard to choose what stories to write about when you first start a blog. So I guess I'll start at the beginning of how the Eberhard family came to be.
Moving to Colorado I never imagined I would find the person I would soon fall in love with. I moved there mainly to be in a beautiful state that I had once visited as a teenager and of course to go to grad school. On November 30th, 2002, Jarom and I were married in a little chapel in Golden, CO. It was the most beautiful sunny Colorado day despite the cold air. It all turned out exactly as I had pictured my wedding when I was little. Lots of candles, the sun setting behind the mountains, surrounded by family and friends, and finding my best friend.

My first blog



Ok, so Gail has been talking about how wonderful it is to have a blog and can't get off the computer. So I guess I'll try it. Let's see what's new with us. Well, if you don't already know we're adding on to our little family in November. We'll find out the sex of the baby July 10th, so stay tuned. We're so excited for Riley to have a sibling. The way I told Jarom about the baby is a pretty cute story...
I decided to involve Riley in some way, which always makes for an interesting twist. It was around Easter so I bought some little plastic chics that open up and are empty inside. I typed out on a piece of paper "I'm going to be a big sister!" and folded it up inside. When Jarom got home from work I had Riley bring the little chick to him so he would open it. Instead, she brought it to him and he just glanced at it, end of story. So I had to tell him to open it for her. So he opened it and out popped this piece of paper onto the floor. He was expecting candy to come out so he said to Riley, "Oh, it's just a piece of paper, sorry" Again I had to intervene, "What does it say?"
So he finally opened it up and read it. He had this puzzled look on his face and read it out loud. "What is this?" he said. "Are you pregnant?" with a big smile across his face...

It was really cute and something we'll always remember.
