Can't wait

Just purchased this on Ebay, I hope it works when the baby arrives...

We are expecting!

Here is an updated shot of me and my growing belly.

Here I am at 25 weeks

Here I am 21ish weeks.

We have been busy running around trying to get holiday shopping out of the way, registering, and picking up new furniture. I did get a job working as a Speech Pathologist in a city close to where we live. Other than preparing ourselves for a new arrival.... not much is new :) I am going to really try to stay up to date with the blog. Look for more posts soon!

Jeez, 3 months have passed!

I was looking a a fellow blogger (Karla) and noticed it had been 3 months since my last posting. Whew, well here come the excuses, except I really don't have that many other than:

1. Our camera is broken

2. I just wrapped up Grad school yee hee

3. I am looking for a job

Like I said, not too many excuses other than it's the summer and I really have had zero motivation to do much.... so here is to 3 months. I know I will be posting sometime in the near future with some news... hopefully related to a j.o.b. :)

So excited.........

For the movie, My Sister's Keeper to come out in JUNE. I loved, loved, loved reading this book and cannot wait to see the movie! Cameron Diaz was on Oprah today promoting the movie. Can't wait!

Book Recommendation

I have had some time off of school / internships and I have been able to read a book for fun! :) I finished this book in 3 days. It was a great book and obvsiously I couldn't put it down. If you have any good recommendations especially for the summer let me know!

Why I have been a slacker....

Where to begin.... well I started my school internship this semester and I have been completely "bogged" down with the workload. I am finding it interesting and I do like it, but there is sooo much planning that I have to do. So the blog was put on the back burner. Have no fear, I am almost done and I will be back in action! :)

Girl's Trip to Florida

This past February, I took a girls trip to Florida with my good friends, Shannon, Sara and Kristen.  We had a great time and hopefully we will continue to plan these yearly events to get together. We were roommates in college, our last year and sorority sisters. I used to live in Indianapolis with them and miss them dearly! This was a great trip to catch up on gossip, The Bachelor, and just hang out and relax. Here are some of the pictures from our trip :)

On the boat stalking all of the gorgeous homes along the waterfront.

Shanni and her mom, hi deb!

Complete tourists, we "rented the limo" here we are causing a ruckus on the "broadwalk"

Our famous "surprise photo"

Awwww... the beach.

One of the fun restaurants we went to. The tables were all swings.

Sari and me, with our "burns" :)

Not much going on...

There really isn't anything exciting happening around here, which sometimes is a good thing. I haven't posted in awhile, because our camera is on the fritz so I haven't taken it anywhere with us. This past weekend we had a visitor, Justin. He was Ryan's roommate in college. It was great to spend some time with him and catch up. Unfortunately we were in the middle of a huge snow storm but we did the best we could and got out of the house. Justin and I headed to the mall to find some deals (he is a great shopping buddy). Then we trekked (risked our lives) back home, and caught up some more over dinner. 

Vera Rug etc.

Another great gift I recieved was my KitchenAid Mixer, I have already used it twice and I am excited to make some bread with it later on this week!

This past Christmas, Ryan's mom gave me a Vera rug for our guest bedroom. It matches perfectly with the color scheme we have going on. I told her I would post some pictures of it so here it is!

Back in action...

We are set up and back in action. Our internet was down for about 2 weeks. 1 of which I was out of town for so it only affected me for a week. But still a pain, I guess I never realized how much time I spent/ spend surfing the web. Here is a recap of our holiday season in picutres:

These are backwards so starting at the end:

Finishing the holiday season with a bang. Kareoke anyone?
