BABY TIME!!!!!!

So Aaron and I are happy to announce we expecting our first baby November 12, 2012.  I can't believe it, we had just made the decision to really start trying, I was offered a full time position at my job and then BAM!  3 days later we are pregnant!!!  I had been sick and couldn't keep anything down for about 5 days and I figured it was the stomach bug that was going around....then things started tasting different....So I took a test, negative..until the next morning when I pulled it out of the trash because I saw an extra line!!!!  I called my best friend and sent her a picture and she was like, "um youre pregnant!"  I couldn't believe it so I went and bought 2 more tests....needless to say being an ICU nurse I went to the Dr. and made them draw some lab...and lo and behold I am 4 weeks pregnant as of Tuesday.  We are so excited, and despite the morning sickness, cramping, and hot flashes things are great!  I can't wait to experience everything that this journey will bring!!!


Mrs. Forst...aka Mommy to be

The Forst’s 2011 Year in Review

                In the famous words of our friend D.J. “The Goods” Jones, “Hello Bitches” and welcome to our 2011 awesome yearend review. For the first time this year and review will be co-authored by Aaron and his new wife Adrienne. It’s hard to decide where to start but we have always thought the best way to begin is at the beginning.   

                This year has been one of the wildest weather years ever.  It all started with Snowmageddon, better known as Oklahoma’s first blizzard and was so bad that the hospitals actually closed for 2 days.  We were stuck in the house for 3 days, and the cars were so covered in snow, up to the tops of their bumpers, so we couldn’t even drive.  We were also hit with masses of Tornadoes that destroyed Joplin, MO and were completely devastating to the surrounding area.  The state of Oklahoma also broke the, all time, temperature record with 115 degree days and we had 60 days over 100 degrees this summer.  We finally bought a pool but it really felt more like a hot tub.  Then to top everything off we had record breaking earthquakes. For our out of town friends earthquakes are a completely new concept to the people of Oklahoma and they woke us up at 3 in the morning (Aaron hates to be woken up at 3AM).

                On a brighter note we celebrated our nephew Eli’s first birthday with cake, presents, and he got his first opportunity to beat a donkey with a stick, aka a piñata!  Aaron’s dad has also finally decided on a nickname for Eli to call him, and out of all the familiar options which such as grandpa or papa, he chose G-Daddy, and is now sporting a gray ponytail.  We expect his first rap album titled “Old and Fogey” to be out by the end of 2012.

                We also welcomed a new niece into the world on July 11, 2011, Miss Keyaira Nykole Clayton!  Adrienne got to throw her first baby shower!  Kelly Sunday and Derrick Clayton make beautiful babies!

In May we decided to take a little weekend getaway and were greeted early one morning with two rednecks aka John Koller and Tina Long, some luggage on a porch and a sign that read Missouri or Bust.  We drove past them at first but decided they looked homely so we picked them up and offered to take them with us.  Thus we embarked on the first ever Hillbilly Vacation to Kansas City where we stayed at the plaza, shopped in the rain, ate at Ruth’s Chris for the first time, listened to Cartman give us directions, and enjoyed Worlds of Fun!

April of this year brought on a new chapter of Aaron’s life when he quit St. John Health System after 8 years of employment to work at Southwest Medical. He is proud of his many accomplishments their including the construction of St. John Broken Arrow.

This summer we also participated, once again, in the Tougher than Hell Motorcycle Rally and got to see REO Speed Wagon perform live!  This year was extra special as we won a 2010 Harley Davidson Sportster Forty-Eight at the rally.  Aaron, once again, gladly accepted this gift ALONE as the hillbillies and Adrienne were relaxing in the pool with their cell phones in the house. 

                On August 6, 2011, Adrienne became Mrs. Forst and we were married at St. Mary’s Catholic Church and had a beautiful reception at the Tulsa Elks Lodge with lots of family and our closest friends.  We drank, ate, danced and Uncle Dan grabbed Adrienne’s butt for a dollar.  G-daddy was also enthralled as this date further solidified the fact that his son is in fact, not gay.  It was amazing adventures that lead to an amazing honeymoon in Cancun where we stayed at the Gran Melia. This was a present from Grandma Carol Lee and Grandpa Fred Piraro.  We laid on the beach, sipped margaritas, and parasailed.  We also visited an Eco park called Xplor where Adrienne got so excited about zip lining that she swallowed Mexican water on a slide and barfed for 3 days.

                When we returned we celebrated Momma Diane’s 50^th Birthday with a surprise party and lots of friends and family!  The birthday girl received very thoughtful gifts from her children, which included Vaseline, diapers, prunes, and boobie lifters.  Aaron also celebrated his last birthday of his 20’s even though he won’t admit it he will turn 30 in 2012.  When Adrienne’s birthday rolled around she wasn’t so lucky.  After having gallbladder surgery on October 10, she was in and out of the ER and drugged for most of the month. Aaron was quite jealous that Adrienne got to spend her B-day on drugs and he didn’t.

                In conclusion, this year has been filled with many trips to the casino buffet with Granny, which usually results in full bellies, and fat pockets, and lots of time with great family and friends.  We look forward to the beginning of a new year!  Bring on 2012!
