Famous Jeff


Jeff made the local paper today - click on the title link above to see the article. I just love a man that knows how to sample soils.

SC Weekend Visit





This past weekend - I went up to SC and saw some family and great girlfriends! I flew into Myrtle Beach, where my parents picked me up and we went to see my aunt and uncle and Nana. I even got this great shot of my parents with Nana. Then - they graciously drove me from the coast to Greenville to spend the weekend with my Clemson roommates for a girls weekend. It was so good to see everyone and be back in the Carolinas for a few days. It was absolutely beautiful and we went up to Pisgah National Forest on Saturday for a quick hike and amazing mountain views as you can see. It was so fun to say the least. I miss you girls (Laura, Jackie, Olivia, and Allison - you are the best)!

14 Weeks Pregnant!


Well - the news is out that Jeff and I are expecting our first baby! Hooray! We are so excited and this week marks "Week 14 officially" so I stole this fun picture of what the baby looks like from another website. It's been such a crazy and fun thing to experience thus far. I've actually been really lucky in that I have been feeling relatively good - I was only really sick for a few weeks right after we found out. Hopefully, we will find out the gender next month sometime and we can start planning for the big event to happen in January! I always thought I would hate the process of being pregnant, but it really hasn't been that bad. The best part is seeing Jeff's face during the ultrasounds!

Father's Day Weekend



Over Father's Day weekend - Jeff and I went up to Orlando to see my parents, aunt, and uncle while they were staying at my parents timeshare condo. It was great to see everyone and we even went for an airboat ride while we were there. It was super cool and we even got to see an Everglades Snail Kite, which is a really endangered, rare bird in Florida.
