Bedding Opinions

So we are not finding out if Baby Wilo is a boy or girl (much to Lori and Mom's dismay!). But that presents a dilemma when it comes to bedding. So, if you have an opinion on any of these, please let me know (ex...too girly, too boyish...just plain ugly!).

I definitely have a favorite, and some of you will know right off the bat which one I'm talking about. But I am curious for some other opinions!

Big news....

Sorry I have been so bad about updating. But its because I've known something since May that I couldn't share until now!

I'm pregnant!

We are expecting our first child on January 25 and are extremely elated. We heard the heartbeat for the first time yesterday and are on cloud nine. We will have our first ultrasound on August 17 (where we could find out the sex...but Phillip is determined not to find out).

So I promise to update here more often and please keep us in your thoughts and prayers!

He's kind of a big deal!

Just in case there is anyone who reads this that I'm not friends with on facebook....

....Phillip is kind of a big deal!


I am so incredibly proud of him. Many of you know our frustrations with the way he's been shuffled around at CACC because of budget issues. I've shed many tears and said many prayers about it. Throughout it all, the most important thing to him has been his players. So this is an extremely gratifying award. Please keep me in your prayers regarding this whole coaching ordeal. It is too easy for me to be selfish and sometimes not see the big picture!
And please keep Phillip and his team in your thoughts and prayers this week. They are in Dallas for the men's national championships. This is the last year (hopefully its temporary) for men's tennis at CACC (dang budget again!). The boys won their conference last month, and hopefully they will finish well at nationals (It is HIGHLY unlikely that they will win the NC...and we are FINE with that).
Please continue to pray that we will find a buyer for our house. The process has been a lesson in patience (that I needed pretty badly!). But we are learning to make our home wherever we happen to be!

A little obsessed...

...with this site! http://www.sproost.com/StyleEngine
I've taken the quiz a few times, but it throws different pictures in each time...so the percentages will change. But my largest percentage is always

Classic

then Traditional Country

then Nantucket

I also have a little French Eclectic and Wine Country in me as well. I am not at all surprised about Classic being my number one! You guys should try it out. Make sure to let me know your style!

Any Ideas?

This sweet guy...

(super husband)


wants to know where I want to go on vacation for our anniversary/my 30th Birthday.

He hasn't told me any limitations...but I imagine (knowing him like I do) that he will

1) Want to drive there ourselves
2) Not be a "beachy" place...but I did tell him that with it being mid July...if we go somewhere hot, I want a beach nearby.

So leave me some ideas...please!

Here are some of the places we've been within the past few years
1)Disney World
2)Valle Crucis, North Carolina
3)Savannah
4) Rome
5) Nashville
6) Las Vegas

I LOVE Spring!

If we are friends on facebook, this will not come as a surprise....but I love gardening! I thought I'd share some of the fruits of my labor over the past several weekends.

Phillip is extremely indulgent of my hobby. He doesn't blink an eye when he comes home to find several new additions to the yard.

After a failed backyard attempt (that resulted in a lot of frustration and tears) when Dawson was a puppy, I've focused on the front yard the past 2 years. We don't have a lot of room out there, but I think I've made the best of the situation...

And yes, we are still selling the house. I know I am putting in a lot of work in a space that I hope not to be in for too much longer, but it makes me happier while we are here. And I WILL be taking some of the plants with us (roses, hydrangea, lilies and whatnot...)

Now that I am seriously running out of room in the ground, I'm turning to container gardening. The plant spilling over the side is Nasturtium. They are one of my favorite flowers...I cannot wait until they start blooming.

Of course, the dogs don't understand why I am spending so much time in the front yard, rather than in the back with them. I think this pretty much sums up their opinions on the subject!

Come play with us!

Again? Come on, Mom!

Great deal!

I saw this on http://saveinleecounty.blogspot.com/ and jumped on it!

Tulle is having an enormous sale right now! I got this jacket for my mother for $10


And this super cute blazer for $6!

So get over there before they sell out! And be sure to bookmark Ways to Save in Lee County...even if you aren't around here, it still lists great nationwide deals.

Happy shopping, everyone!
