Home Sweet Home!

We moved into our new house the first of December, but have not decorated everything exactly like we want yet. Tonight we put the pedal to the metal and really got the ball rolling. We hung curtains, pictures, and decorated with some of the new things we have bought. Our house is FINALLY starting to look like a home! Rich worked so hard remodeling our house and now we are getting to add the little extras that will make it perfect for us!

Lucy Jane's room is coming along too! Her bed and dresser came in Saturday, so Rich and his dad put it together! We are getting ready to paint her room and her bedding is in the process of being made. Baby Chic is AMAZING! I am so excited about seeing her room come together! I want everything to be perfect before she gets here! I have a little over 13 weeks before we get to meet our little one; however, it seems as if there is so much to do before then! More pictures coming soon!

Oh, Happy Day!

Wow, today Rich and I celebrate 6 months of being married! I can't believe that it has already been half a year! We have had quite an eventful start to our first 6 months! August 2nd we were married, September 12th we found out we were pregnant, and September 17th we closed on our house! I am so thankful that we had no problems getting pregnant, but GEEZ doesn't it usually take a while! :) We both knew we wanted a family and didn't want to wait forever to get that started.....so here we are!

We are really looking forward to welcoming Miss Lucy Jane into our family in May!

I had a great doctors appointment today! We LOVE Dr. McClanahan! He has been wonderful so far! (doesn't even gripe about my weight gain) oops! :) He makes me feel completely normal when I have super silly questions, too!

Lucy received a present from one of my students today! Leah, a sweet girl, bought Lucy a little dress with bloomers! I love how excited my kids are about me having a baby! They are always drawing me pictures of her name and talking about her! One little girl wrote her a letter about how sweet her momma is too! Man, I love being a teacher!

Winter Wonderland

This is my first attempt at blogging. There are so many neat things happening in our life right now, and I want to make sure and have something to go back and look at later!

I am going to be honest! I have been hoping for a snowday all week! I was quite disappointed when I found out we had school yesterday when everyone else was at home! We ended up dismissing school at 2:00, and Rich came to pick me up. (Chaos) The kiddos sure were acting crazy once they saw all the beautiful white snow falling from the sky. Rich and I stopped by the grocery store and came home just as the snow was really starting to fall! It was gorgeous! There is something so peaceful about snow.

After a snack and a little nap, Rich and I decided to load up and go for a ride on the 4-wheeler. Luke (our choc lab) did a very good job of keeping up as we rode down the street! He has to be right in the middle of whatever we are doing! He's quite spoiled!

I woke up this morning to a beautiful view outside! I opened up the blinds so I could see everything covered in thick, white snow. It's been a long time since we have seen this much snow around here. It was so relaxing to not be on a time schedule, too. I made french toast, eggs, and bacon for our LATE breakfast! Rich's mamaw cooked us dinner, and now I am smelling chocolate chip cookies that Rich (who thinks he is betty crocker) just made! What a great day!
