We snatched this current list from a friend's blog and thought it would be fun for us both to do! So while we were driving along this week we went through the list and collected our answers :) It was really fun to see where we are at. I'm sure we will be doing this again.

A Special Surprise

When we got back from our honeymoon we headed to Nebraska so Kyle could get his new truck and so we can be there for Danielle (Kyle's sister-in-law) and Baby Ostrand's baby shower. Well let me tell ya God and Baby O had a surprise for us all... BABY OSTRAND SHOWED UP!!! We definitely didn't expect to meet that little man yet. Regardless we were blessed to be there to welcome Brexton Bo Ostrand to the world. At about 5 weeks early he weighed in at 5lbs 3oz and was 19" long  and every bit of him is absolutely perfect.

Isn't this lil man perfect! AND SO MUCH BLONDE HAIR!!

We love this lil man so much already!

We Took a Honeymoon!

After we got married in October things were beyond busy. We moved to North Dakota and jumped right into a heavy work load, which led to no honeymoon. Until...March 15!

We left Williston, ND at about 8:00pm on the 14th to head to Denver, CO to catch our flight to St. Lucia on the night of the 15th. We got to spend the 15th in Denver catching up on some very important things...like shopping :) Ok, so Kyle had lots to do for business stuff....But while Kyle did that Marquette shopped and got her nails done (you know the necessities before a trip to the Caribbean)  We caught our 11:55pm flight to Miami from Denver and landed in Miami at 5:00am and then had a 5 hour layover and off to St. Lucia we went! 

Our awesome passport covers :) Except PB messed up Kyle's.
But Kyle is a trooper and kept it anyway!

When we landed in St. Lucia our resort, Anse Chastanet (pronounced Anz-Shasnee) had a car waiting for us and took us on a two hour drive to the southwest side of the island. Marquette gets car sick, so going through the tiny winding roads made for an...interesting...drive. But it was beautiful.

Along the drive we saw the Pitons up close.

We finally got to our resort and were greeted with a local fresh fruit punch and a cool mint towel. It was refreshing after the 2 hour drive and we knew our week was going to be one of fun and relaxing. We had our own little cottage that was set into the mountain side. It was so beautiful and relaxing. We really enjoyed our room and the amazing view it had of the Pitons and the ocean.

And by night :)

Here are a few more pictures from our trip....

On the ocean floor!! WE LOVED SCUBA DIVING!!! 

We feel so blessed to be able to get away and just enjoy each other. We have been so busy and really needed some time just to ourselves. St. Lucia was exactly what we needed at the exactly right time.
