Things I love!

In no order just random thoughts!

Trav's hugs and the way our daughter is between us :-)

Snow cones - What is better than a great silver fox or margarita twist... mmmm!

Summertime - All the great fruits and veggies that are in season.

Lyric moving all the time... trying to break free!

Sisters - All the crazy stories we share and how my back is covered by 3 amazing women at all times!

Girl time - When I get to go out with fun gals and it leaves me feeling refreshed, ready to conquer life.

Date night - I love when we go out and have wonderful conversation

Car deals - I know that you all hear my complain about my job but I really love it when I get like 40 car deals!

Clean laundry = empty laundry baskets :-)

Dr Pepper in all its glory

SLEEP without getting up LOL!

Shopping and not spending a dime!

Passionate kisses shared with Trav (the kind that take your breath away)

The moment that bitterness could win and instead you kick its butt

Movies - GOOD MOVIES that make you feel transported to another time and place!

Looking like my mom and having her eyes

Talking with Travis about our future and having plans (even though I know that NOTHING goes according to plan)

Prayer - The kind that breaks you and you just let it all out!

Ol' Time Diner - AWESOME BURGERS

Olive Garden - Soup and salad baby! Just hook me up to an IV of that stuff!

I wanted to share because I wrote these down at work today thinking of how thankful I am for all my blessings!

Our Beautiful Lyric

We got a little sneak peak at our sweet baby girl last Thursday! She is very stubborn, likes her hands in her face, will most likely be a thumb sucker, and is so beautiful that I can't help but tear up every time I look at her pictures! I'm amazed at the handy work of our Creator! I also can't thank him enough for our daughter. I feel so blessed to have her kick, toss, and turn inside me! Every kick is a beautiful reminder of how faithful God is!

I wanted to share... sorry some were taken by my cell and aren't so clear and the other has 6 pics scanned to one page.THUMB SUCKER!

One of my favorites with her foot next to her face!

Smiling with her eyes open :-)

Gosh I love this girl!

Lyric's Shower!

Lyric's shower was amazing! I have never felt more loved and I know this little girl is coming into a world of people that will love and support her!

God's gift to us!!

The quilt personalized just for Lyric!

Once again my amazing, talented, and beautiful inside and out sister! I love you with all of my heart and thank you for making this day that I didn't for sure know would come... a reality. God is so faithful and good! You've loved me through a lot and I know you'll love me always!

Thank you!

A special thanks to all who made this happen:

Mom, Randi, Nesta, Mona, Allison, Deborah, Jessica, and Julie!

Work Baby Shower

Work suprised me with a shower today and it was so cool I felt so loved and I think the world of you all!

Coolest diaper cycle :-)

Thanks Tmanda for making this wonderful suprise happen! You rock! Thanks to all the ladies (and Wayne) who came and showered Lyric and I with love!

Mother's Day

This was a very special Mother's day for me for so many reasons. Mother's Day has always been a bitter sweet day for me because I have had the joy of celebrating it before but the celebration never lasted. This was one of the amazing days of my life because for the first time I was able to feel our daughter move and kick. (Her telling me Happy Mother's Day :-) I'm in awe of God's timing and the miracle of pregnancy. Thank you God yet again for our Baby GIRL!

32 weeks

My Mother's day card

Travis... I love this man! He wrote the most amazing thing on my card!

LYRIC'S MOTHER

I walk past the card and I just smile :-)

God is giving us a blessing and I can not put into words the joy that floods my soul.

We're scared to death with the thought of being intrusted with someone so special as our daughter Lyric Elise but we are beyond excited with the joys that she'll add to our lives

Reading my daughter's name on the card sent so many thoughts, hopes, and dreams of the future through me.

Please pray that I will be half the mommy that my Mom has been and that I'll listen to my wise Sister's ;-) (love you ladies) Thanks for the prayers that have brought us this far and I can't wait until she is here!
