Wonder-full

"I’ve always found that the most beautiful people, truly beautiful inside and out, 
are the ones who are quietly unaware of their effect."

It was so good to see Joey's family this weekend. While I find myself even more comfortable around them, there were a couple times that I found my pregnant self talking when I wish I was just listening. Ah, it happens I guess? We finished a really cool puzzle too. 

We got to meet Greyden Snoke on Saturday - which was so neat. It was neat to see the little man that was being grown insider her all that time, to know how the Snokes' lives are forever changed, to see how great of a mom Kara is and how connected she was this time, and to realize a little of what we might experience ourselves in ~6 months. So neat. Other than that, just enjoying life, having J off and at home (I'm happy for him even if I'm not there), and looking forward to taking this Wednesday off, just for fun.

Happy Friday! Last night after dinner with my family, we packed up and we'll be heading to see J's family this weekend. We get to have dinner with them and spend Saturday there. We'll also get to pick up J's birthday gift - a grill! We're excited to try some things out on it. I'm really happy we get to see his family :) - it feels like it's been a while!

Our News

Now that we're moving out of the first trimester (and posted on facebook), I can officially announce that we're expecting! We're super excited, although a little nervous and so so thankful for a healthy pregnancy so far. I've started a pregnancy blog for family and friends that are interested in the details and relatively weekly pictures. Okay, that's all. Yay!

Evenings

Last night J cooked. One of the best things of evenings is that it keeps the days from being monotonous. As much as I try to enjoy the days even though I'm working, I really can't wait for the evenings - the part that feels like "life" to me. Maybe I should make a change? but for now I'm happy.

Happy Monday! I had a good weekend - such a praise that everyone got along well (8 girls can be drama), and we got to try paddle boarding, which was really cool. We saw a few dolphin fins on the creek we went on. J and I have now been together for 2 and a half years. I'm so super happy that that Starbucks date went so well....

Tomorrow morning I'm heading down to Charleston with a group of girls to celebrate my friend Annie's bachelorette. I'm looking forward to showering her with love and making her feel special, and good conversations and fun times. J will be going to Philly for a tournament, so I'm praying for safe travels for our little family. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Live well
