32 and Counting

I can't believe it's already the middle of September. Things around Monticello are going great. Work has kept both Billy and me super busy. I guess that's why I can't believe it, but I'm 32 weeks along. On my goodness... 8 weeks to go. Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we get closer to the day we meet out little boy!

Welcome Baby J

Billy and I visited Micah and Sheena this past weekend and got to meet Baby Jaylin for the first time. Billy and I are super excited to be an aunt and uncle. We fell in love with her right from the moment we met her! Jaylin is so sweet and oh smells so good. She is such a laid back baby... I wonder who she gets that from? It was sweet watching Billy as he sang to Jaylin whenever he held her. Needless to say, one of the songs he sang was Hey Fighting Tigers! He's going to be a great daddy come November! We really enjoyed our stay in Oklahoma and look forward to the next time we'll see them again.

Happy Happy Birthday BILLY!

Yes, it was quite a birthday for Billy and a big one at that. Billy turned 35 August 30. He was so excited to be spending his birthday in Tiger Stadium. We had a great time... as we applied and reapplied sunscreen throughout the game. The game was a killer considering it was moved to 10:00am. After the game we headed to Eunice and stayed the night with Mrs. Janet and Mr. Lynn. Early Sunday morning, we (several of Billy's family and Lou Lou) headed to Monticello where we had a big hurricane party for several days. I loved every minute of it. I loved having everyone over. Thankfully no one had damage done to their home. Praise the Lord!

The Nursery

I can't believe it! Billy and I are going to be a mommy and a daddy... real soon. We are so excited and looking forward to the day we get to meet our little boy. The baby's furniture came in last weekend and we were eager to get the room cleaned out and ready to set up. Billy worked hard at putting it all together. He did a great job. The nursery is still a work in progress, but we wanted to share with you guys what we've done so far.

New York City

Hey guys!
Well our summer travels have ended with a great trip to the Big Apple! Billy and I went to New York and stayed in the Millenium Broadway Hotel in Time Square. It was a short trip, but an exciting one. We saw the broadway play, Chicago, did a little site seeing, and had dinner at Tavern on the Green. We enjoyed our stay and our summer, but it was sure nice to get home.

Our Summer

Welcome to our blog!

Billy and I have had a great summer. We have had a very BUSY summer though. In June, we went on a seven day cruise, stopping at different cities in Italy. Amazing! Then we stayed three nights in Rome. Unbelievable! It was a wonderful trip and one that I won't forget... maybe because I was five months pregnant and having to hike up hills. HA!!! The whole trip was just full of history and sights which I've only seen in books before. Two weeks later, we headed to Washington DC for a week with my mom and dad. We hit the ground running and never stopped. We were able to see lots of sights there as well. The four of us had a wonderful time, but were pooped once we got home. DC was a great trip as well. Some of our favorite things were seeing the Senate in session, walking through Mount Vernon, and watching the Changing of the Guards in Arlington Cemetery. What a trip! Then in mid-July I was able to attend my ten year high school reunion. Can you believe I've been out of high school for ten years? WHOA!!! It was neat to see old faces and see where life has brought them. Well this is what Billy and I have been doing in a nut shell during the months of June and July. We have enjoyed it, but summer is quickly coming to an end! It seems to fly by faster and faster each summer.
