Where have the last 2 months gone??

Well, I don't have to tell you I have been on a two month hiatus from blogging, I am actually contemplating on deleting it all together because I don't really even have an excuse other than that I just never get on my blog account because of everything we have going on! It seems like every moment of everyday is filled with something and writing it all down has seemed a little daunting but here I am typing away and glad to be so we will see how it goes!

Just to give you a few quick updates, I am now 33 weeks pregnant- so crazy and I can't believe how fast it has flown by! Things are still going good, I am exhausted ALL THE TIME and I am not sleeping very well with her jumping on my bladder all night but I feel so lucky to have had what seems to me a super easy pregnancy. We are so ready to meet our girl and I am so ready to be past the pregnant chapter of my life! It has been great with my sister and so many of my friends being pregnant at the same time but as always, I am ready to get on with life :-) The nursery is almost complete, just need to get curtains, a rug and organize her closet and we will be ready! We still have alot to buy- babies sure do need alot of stuff! We have been so blessed by family and friends and their generosity- we have had one shower already and two more are coming in the next few weeks and I am just floored by how much everyone already loves our baby! I wasn't expecting any of this and we know how blessed we are by the people in our life. She still doesn't have a name... honestly, I bet we aren't going to make the decision until she makes her grand entrance!

To say work has been busy the last two months would be a huge understatement but I am thankful that the school year is almost over and my events and programs are wrapping up and summer will be here before we know it  and I can't wait!

My precious niece, Ava is as cute as ever and doing great! I usually get to watch her a few hours a week which I just love! Not only is it good practice but she is just such a wonderful baby and we love being able to take care of her :-)

I just got back from a weekend with my besties celebrating Raven, she is getting married in a little less than a month! I am so excited for her new chapter and glad she has found someone she wants to spend forever with. We rented a lake house right outside of fort worth and it was amazing! The weather was perfect and I think everyone desperately needed a relaxing weekend away not to mention that Raven is one of the best people to celebrate because she loves all of us so well! We stayed up way too late, kareoked until we were hoarse, ate a ridiculous amount of good food and spent all day yesterday laying out and catching up followed by Joe T's = a perfect girl's weekend. Friday was a little crazy driving up to the lake as Lindsee, Hannah and I got caught in a hail/monsoon storm- where it came from or went we are not sure but we sat in the car laughing about how random it was waited it out. Then, on our ride back we saw some weird things! I would have to say the man walking down I-45 with his arms stretched out to the sides was my favorite. We aren't sure what he was doing at 1am in between Huntsville and The Woodlands and we don't think he did either- no car in sight for miles just him... walking in the dark. It is weekends like these that I get extra thankful for my girls- even though we aren't all 2 seconds away from each other I love that we still do girls weekends- despite weddings, babies, boyfriends, jobs and everything else in between. It is so refreshing getting to see them and I wouldn't change our friendships for the world! I know it is such a rarity to find one great friend and I am blessed with great ones from different chapters in my life who know me often times better than I know myself and are constantly pointing me back to God when I need it most and can make me laugh until I think I am going to explode. I am just lucky to have friends that range from childhood-highschool-college-and beyond and love you all so much!

Ryan is graduating in December- we are SO excited and I am very, very proud of him. He has worked so hard and been in school for so long- really since he was 5 he has not had a break and he is going to be a seminary graduate with a Masters of Divinity in just a few months! He has 2 more weeks of this semester left and then in the fall he has 2 classes to take before walking across that stage! His job is still going really great- we love FBC!

Well, that is all for now- no promises on when the next post will be but in 7 weeks or less if I haven't deleted this I will be posting a picture of our little baby girl!
