16 Weeks...

So we are officially 4 months pregnant this week! I can hardly believe it - well, in some ways I can when I think back to how sick I was for the first three months, but in all honestly, I cannot believe I am writing today about being 16 weeks pregnant... at some level, this is all still VERY surreal.What an amazing week... while reading some pregnancy books, I discovered that beginning the 16th week, mom's can begin to feel the baby move. When I woke up on Saturday morning, I had a mild case of the butterflies (it literally felt like little flutters in my stomach!). It only lasted but a few moments, but it was such a fun, amazing experience!! On Saturday, Grandma Dot, Aunt Katie and I started shopping for the nursery... since our little pumpkin is going to be a surprise, we were shopping for both a girl and a boy! While shopping, we randomly came across the most amazing, antique crib (Dot found it!) and we all new it was just perfect... so thank you Grandma and Grandpa Gross for buying us our first nursery piece!! I absolutely LOVE it and know that it is going to be adorable in the baby's room (I will post pictures when we get into our house)! We also found the fabrics we love for a little girl's room and we have SOME ideas for a little boy's... we are meeting with the woman making everything in late March, so we still have some time to put things together.... We also found out that we are moving in less than ONE MONTH!! We cannot wait to get into our new home and start preparing for our baby's arrival - what a true blessing that the Lord has provided us a house, truly a HOME, to bring our baby home to... we are so humbled!

Cheerleading Tryouts

If you have ever been through any sort of team tryout, audition, or interview, you know the waiting period can be a little bit stressful.... and well, that gives you an idea of how the hunt for our reception location has been since our engagement. BJ and I wanted to find a location that we felt "suits" us... so, the search began a while ago, to say the least. Enjoy this process alongside of us: 1. Dallas Museum of Art--who wouldn't want to have their reception here? The Hamon Atrium is absolutely perfect for the bride and groom who like to work with bare bones--slate floors, concrete infrastructure, and a 5 story glass wall with colorful blown glass cascading down. Not only that, but it really taps in to BJ's "artistic" side. So, we get all worked up over the DMA to find out that well, weddings are taking back seat due to the arrival of King Tut. Yes, He and all his artefactual glory are coming to Dallas in October, and well, until about 2 weeks ago, wedding

The Sister of Honor...

Its time for our readers to get to know some of our bridal party... and there is no better place to start than with your maid of honor!   For those of you who don't know my younger sister Katie, growing up she was my sidekick, my stage-hand, my monkey that would bang the cymbals if I asked.... basically, if I was the center of attention, she was right there to introduce me, applaud me, or be my partner in crime.   So now as we have both "grown" up, and its time for me to make the biggest decision of my life, it means the world to me that there Katie will be.... right by my side, my-stage hand, making me look better and supporting me as I change my last name once and for all. Just so we are clear, there was, however, one time when I was furious that Katie shared my stage.... when I was about 6 years old I was determined I would be a childhood star.  So my parents, indulging me in this dream, let me audition for a kids movie called "The Donut Man".  Katie, 3 at th

Crowdsourced Group Gift Guide 2020

Okay, so admittedly I am not a blogger in the sense that I do not actually know what I am doing.... so friends, bear with me - humor me, maybe - as I attempt to simply put all of the amazing ideas that so many people shared with me when I asked about gifts for Tripp, my 9 year old son, this Christmas.  I'll start with this - there are the usual suspects that if they were recommended once, they were recommended a dozen times... and it would come as no surprise, I imagine, that they included all things Lego, Nerf and _______ boards.   But there we tons of other ideas that were honestly new, to me, and I would love to share them with you! I've put them in somewhat of a category... and linked them all! Let me know what you purchase or if you have other ideas to add to this awesome resource!  Hope this is a blessing to all us parents of boys, ages 8-13 , shopping this season!
