Thanksgiving

I love Thanksgiving. Besides all the wonderful food, shopping, and family time, it's such a great time to reflect on all I have to be thankful for. On November17th I was counting my blessings... a thriving business, a wonderful family, incredible friends, a great place to live, and the best husband a girl could hope for. On November 18th I was counting one more little blessing...in my belly!!!!!!!!(: Yes, I'm finally pregnant! I am already so in love, obsessed, and praying like crazy that I'm able to carry this little miracle to full-term. I am still very early (almost 6 weeks) so please keep us in your prayers. I have already been to the doctor 3 times and everything is progressing perfectly so far. We got to see the little sac on Monday but won't get to see a heartbeat until next week. I've quickly learned that being pregnant is a whole new faith journey. I probably have more anxiety/stress now than I did when we were struggling to get pregnant! I guess when you want something so bad and finally get it the thought of losing it is too much to handle. So it's just another thing on my list that I have to daily surrender to the Lord. Anyways, thank you all so much for the continued love, support, and prayers throughout our infertility process. I could not have done it alone.

Pictures below are telling my family (aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents etc.) on Thanksgiving day at my parents house. My mom said "if your pregnant you get to go first"... so I jumped in line... then the tears came down(:

Roll Tide!!!!!

By far the most fun game of the season! My parents got tickets for a bunch of our cousins so we had a blast cheering on the tide with the whole fam! Have you ever heard a louder Rammer Jammer?!!! What an exciting game! Looking forward to going to ATL this weekend and hoping we can prove everyone wrong!

Amazing Photographers!

Some friends of ours from church run a photography business and I just had to share about them because they are amazing!!!! I have tried time and time again to take some pictures of our food at Ashley Mac's for marketing purposes and it always looks like a big blob- so Erin and Corey came to the rescue! They do weddings, xmas cards, engagement pics etc... and now food!(: They just posted the pics of our cakes (and other things) on their blog... and keep scrolling to see their other work. They have such a unique way of capturing a moment that I have never seen before. I can't wait to have kids so I can have an excuse to use them more often!

Fun Day in T-Town

Yep, that is THE Terrance Cody!! I almost peed in my pants when we got to talk to him. We got my brother Scott to go over and ask him if he would take a picture with his sister (i'm sure he thought I was going to be 12 years old) He's so massive-bigger in person than he looks in this pic.
My parents get together with other players parents and tailgate afterwards... so Kimmie and I sat back and star watched at all the cool boys... and ate some amazing pizza on the grill!! They know how to do tailgates right!

It was so precious... poor Scott hasn't even gotten to play but the kids sure don't care... they still want is autograph everywhere we go around ttown! It's so adorable.

We ended up with 2 extra tickets at the last minute and were so excited that Steven and Kimmie got to come with us! We had such a blast and are SOO happy to have them back in Birmingham! We love y'all!

And last but not least we got to tailgate before the game with some of my best friends from bama! AND got to celebrate Ashley (Dalgo) Skinta's Bday too! Such a fun day... Roll Tide!

Halloween Bash

So, I think it's official.. i haven't dressed in any sort of costume since the AXO swap days.. it was good to feel young again(: We had such a fun time-although I can probably only do 2am once a month! Anyways, after a wonderful day in T-Town we went to walmart at 8:30 to look for a costume to a party that started at 8:00!! I was a "deviled egg" if you can't tell- I think only 2 people at the party actually got it....the round orange dot on my stomach is the yolk and the white shirt I have on is supposed to be the white part- and then you know the whole devil thing... A for effort right?!!!!ha Kris, y'all are the best...
