Now onto the challenge...


I was given this award...



Give this award to 10 bloggers and write 10 things about yourself. And thank the blogger who gave you the award:


Thank you Diving Into Love!


1. I am so in love with my life!! I have the most amazing husband anyone could ask for and I love him more and more every day! I have a wild/crazy dog but I love her!! I have a baby girl on the way and cannot wait for her to be here!


2. I have the most amazing friends a girl could ask for! Not seeing my BEST friends all the time is hard but I know that when I need them they are there!


3. I love being a teacher!! I absolutely love children and getting to watch them grow in so many ways is a blessing!!


4. I'm obsessed with Kool-Aid right now!! I feel like such a kid...but it makes me smile when I am having a bad day!
5. My favortie movies to watch are Disney movies....mainly the classics, like: Cinderella, Snow White, The Little Mermaid, and The Lion King. But I like the new ones too....Cars, Toy Story, Toy Story 2, and cannot wait to see Toy Story 3! I am so excited to be able to watch these with Whitney one day!
6. I love to cook! Cooking is a way for me to get my mind off whatever is causing me stress at the time. I really like cookbooks and wish I had the time to cook all the new recipes I find!
7. I love my iPhone and texting! Between Kyle and me we send about 4,000 texts a month!! And I think that the iPhone was the best thing ever created!!! I love apps, too!!!
8. Massages and pedicures make me smile! They are the best way to relax! I could use both every day!
9. I want to live at the beach one day! To wake up at the beach every morning would be so amazing! Not to mention the sound of the waves and how relaxing it would be.
10. I am a cheerleader at heart! I cheered from elementary school thru high school and then I coached it for 3 years. I resigned as the coach this year and never thought that I would miss it...but I do! I don't miss the drama or time that it takes up but I miss so many things about it! I will always be a cheerleader at heart!
Hope you all learned a little about me!

What a journey it has been....

The last few months have been amazing!!! I always heard that being pregnant was a great feeling and now I know what they mean!!! Since the morning sickness is gone, I have been wonderful! Cannot wait for the rest of this journey!


The weekend that school got out, Kyle and I went to the Braves game! It was so much fun! We don't get to spend a lot of time together during baseball season, so it was great to have a day in Atlanta together!

A friend of mine that I grew up with, Liz, got married June 5. The wedding was beautiful and I got to see all my friends from high school! It was great to see everyone and catch up!

Brittney and me at the wedding! It was great seeing her and talking about all the good times we have had together! It has been too long since we have gotten together!

Kyle's brother, Greg, has a lake house that is about 20 minutes from us. We go over there often and spend time at the lake! It is so calm, relaxing, peaceful, and beautiful! I wish we could wake up there every day!

Kyle and I have gone on vacation once this summer already! We went to St. Augustine, FL with Kyle's best friend Kevin and his wife Kelly and daughter Kylee (who was named after Kyle). We had such a great time! It was so nice to have a few relaxing days at the beach! Having a two and half year old there made it so much fun! She is so imaginative and independent! She had so much fun playing on the beach and in the pool with Kevin and Kyle! She is precious! It made me want our baby here so much faster! I thought I wanted a boy but after spending the weekend with that precious little girl.....I want a girl!! Here are a few pictures from the beach! The one of Kyle and me is one of our "Family Beach Pictures". I cannot wait to have our little family at the beach next year and take family beach pics with our baby! :)

Kyle and me! If you look close you can see the baby bump! :)


Kyle and Kylee....this melts my heart!!! Watching him with her this weekend affirmed how great of a dad he will be!!! Kylee loved playing with Mr. Kyle!! :)

The day we left the beach to come home was our 1st anniversary and Father's Day! I cannot believe that 1 year ago (June 20) I married the most amazing man I could have ever asked for! He is perfect for me and will be the most amazing dad in about 5 months! I look forward to many more years to come! Here is a wedding picture to celebrate 1 year ago!

We go to the doctor tomorrow for my 20 week checkup and ultrasound! Hopefully Baby G will cooperate and we can tell if we are having a boy or girl!!! I don't care which one as long as he/she is healthy...just ready to know!!! I will let everyone know as soon as we get home from the doctor!!
