hey sooooo.....

In case you missed it on Instagram or Facebook . . . There's a BABY in my belly!!!!!! :) :) :)



I'm due October 3rd, which means I'm almost 13 weeks along right now :) However, since I'm diabetic, I'll most likely be forced to deliver early, so I'll probably have a September baby.

Before I ever got pregnant, I thought all the time about how we would announce it when it finally happened. Although I got tons of ideas from Pinterest, I ultimately decided I didn't want to do anything clever or cute -- I just wanted to shout it from the rooftops! So here it is, my first ever baby announcement for my first ever baby :) #beyondhappy

    I know I already congratulated you on instagram, but I want to say it again because I'm just so so happy about this. Congratulations!! I saw you do a baby pinning binge on pinterest a couple weeks ago and wondered ;) Also I really love the way you announced it. Just perfect! Couldn't think of anything more perfect for you guys.

      Thanks again!! :) Also, you know what's totally unfair about that baby-pinning binge? I was actually just rearranging boards; like I used to have one or two baby boards, but then I separated them out into like eight, so it looked like I re-pinned everything. After that I was like, uhhh, anyone who follows me on Pinterest is going to know! Haha. Also, thanks about our announcement :) I was thinking we'd at least take some cute picture to go with the words I said, like where we were both pointing at my belly, but it just never happened, and then I didn't want to wait to announce anymore! So I said "Hey, selfie with me!" and he did, and then I posted it. Haha :)

our first murder mystery

Image
A murder mystery been on my "party list" for ages, but I've never gotten around to throwing one (probably because there are too many other ideas on my party list haha). So even though we were planning to do Harry Potter movie parties every Friday and Saturday in October, when my friend asked if we'd be available for a murder mystery, I told her I would rearrange my schedule to be there! Haha :) When the actual invitation came, I was super impressed because it was so themed and legit! Diana went above and beyond -- the kit they bought (from  Night of Mystery ) came with invitations, but she had someone design different ones that were so awesome. Girl knows how to get the party started right from the get-go! I had heard about and seen other murder mysteries before, and the main thing I always heard about was people dressing up. It was so fun to arrive at Diana and Michael's and find that everyone had really gone all out with their costumes! Wigs,

Lately I have been looking for a nice purse. I always carry a bag around, and so I want something that looks nicer and more grown-up. Trouble is, I can't make up my mind! So for today's 5 on Friday, I'm showing the options I have. Please help me out! :) one.   couldn't find a picture online so . . . you get my inadequate photography skills on this one :) Cobalt Bag: Burlington Coat Factory Similar:  A.   B. ++pros big enough to fit my planner best price ----cons might be bigger than I want limited organizational features (only two giant sections; no smaller compartments and zipper areas) two.  Coral Bag:  Target ++pros smaller size love  all of the compartmental options ----cons I have a lot of shirts this color, so it will look either too matchy-matchy, or the two very similar colors will clash won't fit my planner three. sidenote: I don't actually wear cross-body purses across my body (pict

it's a love story {part 5}

This series is turning into a novel! So if you don't want to read  part 1 ,  part 2 ,  part 3 , or  part 4 , I wouldn't blame you. But if you do, there you go :) Part Five - First Date . . . or Second? When we last left off, Russ and I were finally interacting more and we both knew that we liked each other. But he still hadn't asked me on a date! But sometime in early December, he finally remedied that. On a Thursday, he asked me if I would go stargazing with him on the coming Sunday evening. I was super excited :) But in the meantime, he kind of asked me on a different first date, but I didn't really know it. He texted me on Saturday morning, asking if I wanted to go on "a walk" with him. Fully loving every minute spent with him, I readily agreed! But let's be clear--it wasn't a walk. It was a hike. Which isn't a big deal, except that hiking through rocky places requires different shoes than those used to walk on the nicely paved sidew
