The BIG News. . . . . . . . . .

Vince and I are thrilled to announce and truly feel blessed that we are going to be welcoming a baby Jenkins into our family at the end of July. We couldn't be happier about what the future holds for our soon to be larger family. Our exact due date is July 25th but we all know how that date probably will change because the little one will come whenever he or she is ready to.

We have already had our 8 week checkup and we got to see his/her little heartbeat. I have to admit I was one happy lady when I saw that little heart beating rapidly. The doctor said everything looks great and we have our 2nd appointment on January 11th and another one on February 10th.

So far I have been feeling good. I have been somewhat tired and weeks 4, 5 & 6 I had some nausea but most of that has come to an end. Keep checking back and we will keep everyone up to date on the growth of our little one!

The Beginning . . . . . . . .

As most of you know Vince and I have been together for some time now, 10 years to be exact. Vince and I met when I was a junior in High School and he was going off to college. Vince started off his college career at Shawnee State University and then went on to continue his education at Morehead State University where he played football. I graduated from High School in 2001 and decided to attend Capital University and played on the women's golf team. After college I went to work for the Capital Club in downtown Columbus, Ohio as their Membership Director and Vince started his career out at the American Cancer Society. After a year at the Cancer Society Vince moved on to work for Nationwide Financial.

After many years of dating Vince asked me to marry him in August of 2006 and we were married on February 10, 2007 at Broad Street Presbyterian Church and held our reception at Columbus Country Club. Vince and I bought our first home in 2006 in German Village, Ohio. Vince and I resided in Columbus for several years until recently when Vince accepted a promotion with Nationwide Financial as an External Wholesaler. We made the move to Downingtown, Pennsylvania in October of 2008. I am currently going back to school to receive my teaching certificate where I will be certified to teach kindergarten through sixth grade. I am looking forward to starting my student teaching in March and beginning my teaching career.
