Time Flys

It's hard to believe September is almost over...this year has flown by. Tomorrow will be a year since Brad asked me to marry him!!! It's crazy to think that we've planned a wedding, gotten married, bought a house, and are expecting our first baby! Things are going wonderfully for us, but I am a little scared about this next journey we are about to take. We went to being registering Saturday evening at Babys R Us and I was instantly overwhelmed by all the things a baby needs and how many different choices there are for each thing. How are you supposed to know what's best? It was clear that Brad and I had no idea what we were doing :( Thank goodness our families are close enough to help us if we need it.

On a positive note, my pregnancy has been going pretty smooth and I'm excited to start setting up the nursery :) Brad even got to feel her kick for the first time last night! She was very active last night as I was trying to get comfy and go to sleep, but I've heard that's when she'll move around the most, but I don't mind, because as long as she's wiggling around in there I know she's ok!

I'm convinced the weekends are getting shorter and shorter. Sunday has easily turned into my favorite day, but I hate going to sleep Sunday night knowing I have to get up for work the next day. The house is slowly, but surely coming together and we love love love it. It'll be nice to get the fence built and patio furniture so we can hang out on our awesome deck with Max playing outside, but that takes a lot of extra money that we just don't have right now.

I hope that everyone is doing wonderfully. Have a great week!

Love,
LG

It's Football Season!

Fall is coming! Yay! This is by far my favorite season. I love love love grilling out and watching football. I'm always so burnt out with baseball by this time that I welcome football with open arms. Tomorrow is the first UGA game and while I wish we were going, I am kind of relieved we aren't since it's a 12 o'clock game and I am not handling the heat all that well these days. I definitely love spending Saturday's in Athens when it cools down, because that campus is beautiful, but tailgating this year is going to be A LOT different. Unfortunately I think I'm going to automatically be dubbed the DD.

The house is coming together nicely and we LOVE it. We still have a lot of work to do to prepare for Avery's arrival, but it'll be fun to put her room together...once I figure out exactly what it is that I want to do in there. We also need to get the last bit of stuff out of our apartment and get it cleaned...something I am dreading. Max has had a little bit of a difficult time adjusting to the new house and has been very skiddish about everything. Hopefully he'll settle down here soon and realize we're here to stay and we're not leaving him.

I'm really excited for the 3 day weekend! Hopefully I'll be able to get a lot done, but relax more than last weekend at the same time. I'll update more next week.

Love,
LG
