long time coming.....

So, I AM SORRY! The last time I blogged was around Halloween, now, it is March 1st tomorrow and I am aware that 4 months has flown by without any update to my blog which is a shame because being preggers and experiencing things for the first time probably would make for some fun posts! However, SO MUCH has happened in the last 4 months that I have had no time to do anything but crash when I am home! I have been way more busy than ANY pregnant woman should have at this point in the pregnancy. So... lets try to recap 4 months.. you ready?

Ok, first, Football......
This season was a whirlwind! Week after week, the team pulled out some thrilling games including taking down the number one team in the country, Appalachian State, at home! That game set us on a winning streak and then next thing we knew we were heading into the playoffs and found ourselves in the semifinals where the journey sadly ended...a step away from the National Championship! We were so excited and Brett and I feel so lucky to be part of such an amazing season and an amazing staff!! here are some great memories from the last bit of the season!
Winning against William and Mary in Round 2! 
Spending time with the pastor that married us in Virginia before the William and Mary Game! 
Alaskan Sister Christina Makes it for the last half of our victory at William and Mary... 2 games in one season with this girl... she is good luck! 
Rally Hat pic! My two bleacher buddies, Jen and Erin (fellow wives) and I take a pic in our cold weather gear we fondly call our rally hats! Erin started the trend and we made it a tradition at all the games we were together! 
Meeting up with Brett after the win 
Rally hat pic in Delaware... Bebe (another wife) joins in with us! 
The Delaware game was the last game of the season for us and we were greeted as we arrived in the Boro with a 20 cop car escort and tons of fans at the football offices... including our friends Ashleigh and Alan who made some fun signs and even got on the news! 
Sister Lindsey vists for a game... which happened to be the biggest game of the season: Appalachian state!  
The fans, the team, the coaches, and the president of the university storm the field! So cool!

Jobs and raises and trucks oh my!
So, late in the season a job came open in Admissions still working with the same group I have been working with on campus. It was way better pay with an office and a new location on campus. It was something that I really wanted and considering how stressed I had been in the past, I had prayed that this would be the right fit for me and God truly blessed us with me getting the job starting the first of January! After the amazing football season, we were also truly blessed with Brett getting a raise. After looking at our budget and the tiny little back seat in his truck we decided to find a new truck that would fit a baby car seat. We made a day trip to Atlanta to see our favorite car dealer and pick up Brett's dream truck!
Making the deal!

Pregnancy.... So, The pregnancy has gone pretty normal. We are so blessed to have had a pretty smooth experience. Minus the 2 1/2 trimesters of morning sickness and intense heartburn, Life has been pretty good! The baby moves a lot and really gives me some fun moments when I am stressed out.... just causes you to take pause and realize what an amazing miracle this whole thing is! We have so many supportive friends surrounding us here in Statesboro that I feel such a strong confirmation that this is exactly in God's plan for us as a family!  I am 1 week away from our due date of March 8th. I am so ready to meet our sweet boy we have fondly nicknamed Diesel! On his birthday, everyone will get his name! Here are a couple of prego pics from the last trimester.....
33 weeks
 
 36 Weeks
37 weeks


So that is pretty much most of the major updates to our lives since football season. I will post nursery pics and get better about updates in the coming weeks while our little guy takes his naps! Due date is rapidly approaching and judging by my elephant feet and ankles, er uh, symptoms, I think and hope he will debut sooner! I can't wait to meet him or for you to meet him too! Thanks for putting up with my delay in posting as well as the long ramblings of this posting!  We will update you soon!
