Leilani means Blessing

Happy Independence Day!
Its almost over, but it was a fun day. We didnt have plans since Josh has to work tonight. But since we had hot dogs and hamburgers we decided to break in Joshs fathers day gift - his mini grill. Well I knew my mom didnt have plans so we called her and my dad, and ended up making a little party out of it. I made deviled eggs (for the first time) and a cake. And I cleaned up a bit. I was so excited to host a party. Josh went and got drinks and stuff and it turned into a fun experience. Josh was amazing on the grill too =)

Ive started to "nest" as the books call it. Im cooking and cleaning like crazy. So my sudden idea to host was no suprise to Josh. And he did everything possible to help me and make me happy. It was very nice. Plus he got to do his "manly" thing - grill and drink beer.

Mom, Dad and I had some interesting conversations. They all resulted in how lucky I am to have such a great family. As Nick and I grew up, we kinda grew apart. Not completely apart, but definatly different from how close we once were. Now as we start our familys, we have become closer. Nathan definatly brought together a gap that was once there. And now, Leilani will bring together all of us. And that includes my dad, who has always been somewhat distant from us. I believe Leilani is going to bring us all together and keep us very close. I see her looking at Nathan as a brother, and them being very close. And that will keep Nick, Lynore, Josh and I close. And that is something that will definatly please our parents and keep us all close as a family. Today, showed me of our holidays to come. I was told over and over how happy I look, and how any mention of Leilani makes Josh light up. She truely is our blessing, just like her name means. And I cant wait for her to be here and bless our lives

Happy fourth =)
