6/16/2014~Two Months Later with an announcement

Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tip Toe if you must, but take the step."

Remember how I said exciting things don't always happen to me? Well I lied. My life is about to get quite a bit more interesting than I initially thought.

My husband and I planned on waiting about 5 years to have kids. We'd get our degrees finished up, get stable jobs and maybe travel a little bit. We'd enjoy ourselves and get to know each other more and we'd set up our roots. I would start a blog about fashion and pop culture and he would become an engineer. And THEN we'd think about having kids.

Oops.

Well that plan has been a little switched up. We are 2 months into our marriage and we have a little surprise.

We're having a baby! Due date is February 15th, 2015 and we are SO excited!

"Be thankful for the bad things in life.

They make you thankful for the good things you couldn't see before."

It's been a month since I posted and next Sunday, it will be a month since I got married. I suppose I should make a real blog post introducing myself. (even though this is mainly a family blog)

I am Evelyn Whitmer. I am 19 years old, I'm Mormon and I just got married to the love of my life for time and all eternity. I am a Starbucks Barista, but I'm working on making my own business. I love to craft and I love anything pop culture. I'll craft anything, but my favorite things to make are costumes and re-fashioning old clothes. I am a thrift-a-holic and I am not even joking when I say that I have a couple of HUGE trash bags full of unfinished sewing projects. Moving in takes a lot longer than I originally thought though.

I'm really a very simple person though. I have a small list of comfort food, I would rather play video games or read a book than go to a party and I cringe at any price tag over $25. (unless it's a good item) Exciting things rarely happen to me. When they do though, I like to write about them. But mostly my life is filled with cuddling, playing video games or eating. While it may not be very interesting to you, this is my perfectly imperfect life as a Whitmer Woman.
