Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving all!

AJ and I spent the day solo, just lounging and watching tons of football. I've been confined to bedrest for the past 10+ weeks so AJ did all of the cooking and boy was it gooooood. I am so blessed and thankful to have such an awesome hubby, he has taken such good care of me.

The term bedrest is extremely misleading - I can totally see this as being a form of torture. I'm allowed to use the bathroom, shower and eat - if I'm not doing one of those three things I am lying on the bed or couch on my left side (left side laying is supposedly best for the baby). As much as I complain, I am thankful that my son is doing well and my pregnancy has been relatively good.

What I am thankful for this Thanksgiving:

I am thankful for wonderful friends and family who are super supportive and loving.

I am thankful for a wonderful job that has allowed me to take time off to ensure the safe arrival of my son.

I am truly thankful for my life and the realization that money and material things do not compare to what I have...

What are you thankful for?

Here is a somewhat recent pic of me at 8 months (32 weeks) pregnant. My "due date" is January 5th, but I have a feeling he will be here in mid to late December :0)

Memphis, Tennessee - May 2010

Catching up on a little backlog...

AJ and I took a trip to Memphis for Memorial weekend and I had an "interesting" time. We stayed at the Hampton Inn and Suites at Beale Street. The hotel was nice and in an excellent location if you enjoy the nightlife and being in the heart of the city.

I found Memphis to be a little ghetto and not really a place I would visit twice, but it was a nice trip and I did have a good time for the most part. As a disclaimer, I was very early in my pregnancy and a bit hormonal and exhausted when we took this trip.

Oh me oh my, time sure does fly!

Okay I need a spanking... I completely forgot about this blog and I have gotten so caught up in this life of mine. A lot has happened since my last post, but the best and most important thing of all is that AJ and I are expecting! Yes, I am 7 months pregnant with a son on the way. It is weird to love someone so much that you've never met, but I am crazy in love with this life growing in my belly and I am truly enjoying pregnancy.

I'm currently on bedrest so I have a little time to kill and will probably work on this blog a bit.

Where has the time gone?

Happy New Year!

I have been busy! Since my last posting AJ and I have left Germany and are now living in the St. Louis area. The move has been fun, but we have been so busy trying to get settled and back to “normal”.

A few highlights from the past few months:

Our journey back to the states started with delays, long layovers and even longer flights. We made the best of it and managed to have a little fun!

Our flights went something like this, Germany, Baltimore (stayed the night), Chicago and St Louis.
We only stayed in St. Louis for one day before the real fun began and we headed to Cali to start our "vacation". I think I just vegged out this week and hung out with family because I did not take one picture from our time in Cali.

After about a week in L.A we headed to Cancun to relax and just enjoy each other. I had been looking forward to this trip for soooooo long and we ended up being a little disappointed in how everything turned out.

Our hotel had construction going on, so the beach was pretty much off limits and we constanly heard noise from the trucks and workers on the beach. We ended up switching rooms and made the best of it. The food and drinks were delicious, so this kind of balanced things out.

Some random pics of us and the Hotel!

Our last stop before heading "home" was to Vegas. AJ absolutely loves this place, so I threw him a 40th birthday party in the Boulevard Suite at Planet Hollywood. It was a lot of fun to plan and it turned out quite nice.
