Summer Break!

This picture of Harrison explains it all! Summer break has been great! I have been swimming multiple times and just relaxing- not worrying about a thing! I really want it to stay June for a while, because once July gets here- we are that much closer to going back to work... :(. 

Sips N Strokes

Thursday night Jodie, Rosalyn, Emily, Karin and I went to the new Sips N Strokes in Auburn. It's a neat little shop where you start with a blank canvas and leave with a painting! It was so much fun. Above are the pictures of my painting- step by step. Going into it, I thought it was going to be so easy to pick the colors and everything....WRONG! I wanted to paint it for our half bath, which is khaki, black and red...notice the only color that matches is the red!! BUT, it is hanging in our bathroom! :) We all really enjoyed ourselves and I can't wait to go again!! The July calendar is posted, I just need to get a group together and register!! Also...I wasn't able to "sip" on anythign special, but if you could- I think the picture would be that much better because you would be more relaxed! I am more of a concrete person and this was an abstract painting, so it was very hard for me to relax and just paint, but in the end it turned out just fine!! 

Janie's first Vera Bag!

Yesterday while we were in B'ham for our anniversary we went to the Vera Bradley store at the Summit, while we were in there Seth told me to pick out a pattern that I would like to use for Janie Ann. They had so many different patterns that I loved, but I LOVED this pattern- so Seth went ahead and bought me this bag to use as a purse until Janie gets here, and then I can use it for a small diaper bag once she arrives for when we go to Church and small outings!! Anyways- here is Janie's first Vera bag, purchased for her by her daddy! 

Happy Anniversary!

Well, today marks 3 years!! Yes, THREE years!! I can't really believe that Seth and I have been married for 3 years now. It seems like yesterday! Boy has a lot changed in 3 years, too! We bought a house, sold a house, and built a house. Now we are expecting our first baby, a little girl, and life couldn't be better! Seth also graduated with his masters and we both received tenure at our jobs. We have also become Aunt and Uncle to 5- yes 5- neices and nephews! Needless to say our lives have changed for the better and it keeps getting better! 

Seth and I got to spend all day together, which we do a lot during the summer, but it was nice- just us, which it won't be that way for long!! I am so lucky to have Seth as my husband and I thank God daily for allowing him to be in my life! I can't wait to look back at this post in the following years and see how much more we are going to change!! 

Half-way there!!

Well today marks the 20th week of my pregnancy!! I really can't believe that I am 1/2 way done with this, but I can't believe that I have 20 more weeks of growing!!! Also in this picture you can see Janie's bed and window valances! Her room is coming together very nicely! Today was also father's day! We had a lot of fun spending time with our dad's today. For lunch Seth and I fixed some food for my dad, grand-father and brother and took the opportunity to take some pictures with them! I throughly enjoy spending time with my grand-father, but I don't have that many pictures with him, so I want that to change- and I started today!! 

Then after we had lunch with my family we went to Gammie and Pop's house (Scott's parents) to grill out for dinner and swim. Needless to say, I'm exhausted! I know next year at this time it is going to be a LOT different and I can't wait!! I also took a picture of Seth and I this afternoon, I missed it at the wedding yesterday, but I will post it Wednesday....  

FINALLY!!! Pictures!

Finally- here are some before and after pictures of Janie's furniture!! It looks great in her nursery. Seth is working on putting the bed together as I type this- so I will add more pictures soon with the bed!! The pink took a little adjusting- I'm more of a "plain" person- and this pink is far from plain!!! 
 Ok- so the pictures are a little our of order- but you can tell the before pictures of the furniture from the after!! It looks great- Seth did such an amazing job!!! I may hire him out to make a little extra money! HA!! :) Anyways- this was one of our summer projects (probably our only, really) that we wanted to get done before we went back to school- and her it is June 19th and it's DONE!!! Once Seth puts his mind to something- he is going to work until it is completed and that is exactly what he has done!! Again, once the bed is up I will post more pictures with the bedding and stuff, but until then!!! 

Also- Sunday marks the 1/2 way point, which I can't believe- so I will post a belly picture soon, I know my mom loves seeing them!! We have a wedding to attend tomorrow- so maybe I will look ok and can get a picture!! 

Update!

Sorry it's been so long since my last post! I've tried to post pictures of Janie's furniture and bedding multiple times, but our internet and blogger were not working with me, so I gave up!! Anyways- all of Janie Ann's furniture is done and her bed is actually ready for us to pick up!! We are going to get it tomorrow, along with the paint!! Our painter is coming on Friday to paint and we will be ready to decorate in there!! I WILL post before and after pictures- I promise!! 

We went to the doctor in the B'ham on Monday and received a great report- everything is developing correctly and the doctor stated that there was no signs of me being diabetic and I just needed to keep up the good work!! :) We also got verification that she is, in fact, a little girl!! I have also been feeling her move around for about 2 weeks now, the movements are getting stronger each week and it is a feeling that I will never forget- I can't wait until Seth can really feel her. 

As for our summer... it's going great!! Seth received his grant through the University, so he is working periodically throughout the week and I'm just lounging around the house! Tuesday I had the pleasure of going swimming with Lisa, Maggie, and Rebecca (Maggie's friend) at Mrs. Deborah's house. Harrison joined us later in the day- I only burned my legs and it's not that bad. Lisa kept an eye out on me so that Seth would let me go with them again. Hopefully we can go again soon!!! This weekend we have a wedding to attend, along with it being Father's Day weekend! So we will be busy! Then next weekend is Adam Hunter's wedding in Valley, AL- so another busy weekend! Hopefully I will get some pictures at both weddings to post on here later!!
