The latest and greatest

It's been a while since the last update, so here it goes.



Brittany and I found out at the end of March that we will be having a baby
boy. The first order of baby boy business will be ordering a pair of baby jordans.

We already have been given a pair of baby jordan booties, so he'll be covered for at least his first few months until he can get into the shoes. For my birthday, Brittany got a Utah Jazz bottle and binky, so the kid's definitely getting started off on the right foot.




We still haven't decided on a name; we keep talking about "Jack Vincent Harnois" but we still aren't sure. I like "Jackson" a bit better, but Brittany is pulling for "Jack". Brittany has felt relatively well; we've been really blessed that things have gone smoothly up to this point. We're really excited to become parents and are looking forward to the challenge and blessings.



I'll work on getting some pictures and/or video uploaded from the doctor's office.

The first post

Hello everyone and welcome to our blog. Brittany and I are excited to keep everyone in the loop with what is going on in our family. Hopefully we'll be updating the blog fairly regularly. I guess it would be appropriate to start off with some basic history.

Brittany and I formally met in October of 2006. At the time, I was working for a company called Prosper in Provo. One day I was talking to Lindsay, the secretary at Prosper and she mentioned that she had a friend who was in the process of breaking up with a kid that she had been hanging out with for quite some time. I asked Lindsay to see a picture of her friend and after taking one look, I told Lindsay that I would definitely be more that willing to help her friend speed up the breaking up process by going on a date with her. Lindsay kindly gave me Brittany's IM screen name and we started chatting (Brittany will to this day deny the fact that we met over the internet).

Our first date was right before Halloween of '06. We decided to go on a double date with Lindsay and Rainbow Dave to a haunted house. We both had a great time and decided that another date was in order. As we continued dating, it became fairly obvious that we were both interested in each other and that we both wanted to continue our relationship. I fell in love pretty quickly and I'd like to think that Brittany did as well. For me it was easy; Brittany was blessed with great qualities, both physically and spiritually. I had never become so comfortable with someone so quickly and I had never met anyone who seemed like such a perfect fit for me. She was witty, charming, sexy, and patient. Most importantly, being around Brittany made me want to be a better person, a better friend, a better partner, and a better son of God.

We dated seriously for quite a few months and then were engaged to be married. We were married on September 14th, 2007 in the Bountiful, Utah Temple. The past 6 months have been the best of my life and I look forward to having it get better and better throughout eternity. We are expecting our first child sometime around August 18th. We find out the sex on Monday, March 31st. We'll keep everyone posted.
