annnnd i'm back!

well hello there, blog.  it's bee quite some time but i'm happy to be back!  i've recently decided that i prefer to blog over journal.  i had been using a new journal app on my laptop but it just wasn't cutting it.  blogging is a great way to share with all of you what's new in our lives rather than keeping these fun experiences, thoughts and photos to ourselves in a little journal.  so that's that.  and boy, do we have a lot of catching up to do!

so far, i am very thankful to have had a pretty breezy pregnancy!  nothing much to complain about so that's great! i can't believe 34 weeks have already passed and the end is in sight!  our daughter is already so loved by so many friends and family and we are humbled by the generosity of everyone!  we've had 3 baby showers thrown by friends and family...

surprise baby shower in Tampa thrown by 

Becky, Brian, Beth and Josh!

baby shower thrown by my beautiful sisters!

Jenna and Julie threw me another fabulous shower!

thankful, thankful, thankful...so very thankful!
