More Baby Prep (Shocking!)…And Other Things

Tuesday, June 16, 2015

If we keep up our current pace, and our baby girl is going to be here before we know it! We actually went through all the remaining weeks, and we're busy all the way up to August from here on out. Crazy!

We had a family fun day at the tennis courts last week - as my dad and Adam were randomly selected to play each other in tennis. It was a fun game to watch, and Adam came out victorious!


I made them pose with Perrier, of course. They're basically part of the French Open!


Adam and I had been counting down to Thursday for weeks. We had tickets to the opening of Jurassic World! We bought the tickets back in April or May, and were so excited. Even with my expectations so high, I was not disappointed! Three cheers for the Raptor Gang and Chris Pratt!

Adam's a big fan of soccer when it's conveniently on. (Which means he only watches the World Cup.) Lucky for us, we're in the middle of the Women's World Cup! Doug and Aimee joined us at Elbow Room on Friday to watch the US tie Sweden (I think…).


We "tried" to get stuff done in the nursery on Saturday, but ended up just sitting in there and making Hank try on her tutu. We could not stop laughing.


Then I decided to do story time with the dogs. Look how excited they are! (Yes, that's Hank trying to escape by crawling under the crib.)


We also put up the book shelves, and I love the way they came out! I think we're going to do frames/decoration things on the top shelf, hence its current empty state.


The time has finally come. I can't paint my own toenails. Adam was actually super adorable and pretty excited to get to paint them for me. And he did an amazing job. Seriously. Didn't get outside the lines once!


We celebrated Father's Day early since we'll be in St. Louis next week. I made Adam his favorite breakfast, Eggs Benedict! I tried a new recipe for the Hollandaise this time and it was totally different. (FYI - Adam prefers the more old-fashioned way.) He asked for some tennis shirts, and then I also made him a binder to keep his church bulletins in. 


Debbie's Book Club/longtime friends threw me a beautiful baby shower that same day. How beautiful is this chalkboard? I want it for myself!


Thank you, Cheri and Michelle!


Obligatory tummy pose.





I can't even handle this amazing quilt that Meagan made her (favorite) niece! It is so beautiful and made with so much love! And it even matches her nursery! I can't stop staring at it.


Needless to say, it was another fun week in the books! Now we just have to get through this work week and it's off to St. Louis to celebrate with Adam's family!

this and that (descriptive, huh?)

I'm not doing much better updating this bad boy. I blame it on the fact that I have to solely depend on our Mac to write the posts, and I haven't quite mastered this whole "system" yet. Regardless, I want to get this update out of the way so I can have a nice, uninterrupted post on our trip to ALASKA that we leave for tomorrow!

Madi threw a World Cup party for her birthday, that was then combined with a Friday the 13th party because... well, it was Friday the 13th. We show up all decked out in Italia futbol clothes and are the only ones dressed up besides the birthday girl and her boyfriend, Evan. Talk about a bunch of party poopers! Fun times had by all, though. Have you ever partied in workout clothes? It was the most comfortable I've ever been. I did cartwheels and high kicks all night long.


Birthday girl and I showing off our killer soccer moves.


We were all about the World Cup this summer - especially Adam. #teamamerica.

We spent a glorious night celebrating VANN and her birthday at our house. Weeee! So much fun.

The next weekend, we found out our AC was broken. Rather than suffer through the hottest weekend of the year, we camped out with the 'rents. Mom celebrated by making this fun pineapple/vodka drink!

I do love that back deck of theirs!

And the dogs love all the snacks.

I celebrated my new job with three days at Jury Duty. (Insert sarcastic "yay".) The whole process was actually pretty interesting, the subject matter was NOT. Two Koreans fighting over a tae kwon do studio, and they both needed translators. It would have been total snooze city if not for the very entertaining judge.

June 28 was one of the greatest days, ever. It was finally the Katy Perry concert! There are no words....other than LIFE CHANGING.






Last weekend we celebrated the 4th of July in Asheville. We arrived Thursday evening and spent the night with Whittney and Jade, along with some friends from Florida.


We spent the 4th with some friends I used to work with in Florida. Totally random, but they were going to be in Asheville for his 40th/the 4th of July - and we'll take any excuse to go up there! The weather was so perfect and we spent the day eating some amazing food (and drinking some beer and boxed wine, duh. #merica).

Happy birthday, Clay and America!

We didn't actually go see any big fireworks, but my big kid was just fine enjoying sparklers with the kids. Fun times!

Before heading back to Atlanta, we had to make a pitstop in God's Country... Cullowhee, NC aka Western Carolina University aka my Alma Mater. After lunch at Speedy's, we headed into Cullowhee. They have done so much renovating on that campus it doesn't even look the same! Loving this new water fountain, though.

I spy... a really strange/hilarious dedication brick at the Bell Tower.

Take us back!

On Monday, I joined my parents for the Lionel Richie concert at Chastain Park (the summer of concerts, apparently). Adam didn't want to partake in the dance party, so Dominica and her parents joined us. We had so much fun dancing on the ceiling! (Get it?)





Well, that's that! I'll try to be more timely in my next update... about ALASKA!!
