It is so hard to believe that it has been over almost 2 months since the last posting. Of course things have been non-stop and so no posts have come through. So what's the latest and greatest. Well I would say that would have to be the home that Kimberly and I now own. The process of buying a home was a great joy and also a huge pain in the.. umm toe. I definitely learned a lot in the process and am learning a lot about being a home owner and some of the necessities as well as some things that just don't matter for awhile.

Baby girl has been kicking and moving and we are so excited to meet her. For those of you wondering we do have our name picked out, but we are not going to share until baby gets to hear it! However, with all of the ultrasounds we got to have (baby girl covered her face each time, and we couldn't get a full profile picture, so we had to get another ultrasound at each of our doctor's visits), the way this little girl is moving and kicking and squirming, Kim and I are pretty sure we picked an appropriate name for this spunky kid.

Work has been non-stop for both of us. Kim is a trooper and does such a wonderful job as a teacher and grading papers and preparing for kids. Even in this second year as a teacher, I still can't believe how much WORK it takes to be a teacher. Makes me even more grateful for the teachers I had growing up.

We were able to make a trip down to West Palm Beach at the beginning of the month to see Kim's best friend from high school get married. On the same day, a good friend of ours from college got married too. Thankfully, they were both in WPB. One was at 2 pm and the other was at 6 pm. It worked out so well and we had such a great time.

On the way back up from the wedding we got to stop in Winter Haven, and my mom had planned us a "shotgun shower" and we had a bunch of friends come by and bring some wonderful gifts for baby girl. Thank you all so much for pouring out your hearts and your stories.

So, that's it for now. Pictures will be coming up soon of the house, Kim and I and other things to come I suppose. Much love, have fun ya'll!!
