• I look forward to our next break...
• I love snuggling with my pups in the morning before I get out of the bed.
• I LOVE LOVE LOVE Pinterest...I know I'm a few weeks behind on this!
• I don't like how my arms are starting to look...any good arm work outs?
• I drink a gallon of milk a week by myself.
• I need to have Mexican food every Friday night! :)
• I'm looking forward to Candy Corn!

Random Thoughts and Birthdays!

Random Thoughts for Tuesday...

1. I'm trying very hard not to stress over things that will occur after Tucker comes...breastfeeding, sleep schedules, childcare, discipline(I know that's a while after he is born), losing weight and balancing my professional life and personal life. I'm trying very hard to put this in Gods hands.

2. I live for the weekends...like I seriously count down all week.

3. I don't know how women go through pregnancy without a spouse. Hands down the Mr. is the most supportive even if he doesn't know what to do or say. I have so much respect for those women whose husbands are serving our country far away while the nine months of pregnancy go by.

4. I know yall know this, but I'm ready for Fall!

5. Gray nail polish is so fun!

6. Dateline is one of the best shows ever!

7. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO TWO OF MY VERY BEST FRIENDS!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Miss L!

L and I have been BFF since Fall of 2004 when we joined our sorority! She is such a special person to me. Her amazing wedding is this fall in DISNEY WORLD...I cannot wait to stand by her side!! Love you L and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

and HAPPY BIRTHDAY E!!!

E and I have been friends for years too! Meeting each other through our sorority! She is the most example to me of determination! She is a WONDERFUL wife, mommy and now teacher! I'm so thankful to have her in my life! Love you E and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Crazy, Stupid, Love

The Mr. and I had a fun and unplanned date night last night!

We decided at 6:15 to go see a movie! And it started at 7:05! We made it on time though and were able  to see the previews! (One of my favorite parts!)

We went to see Crazy, Stupid, Love

We liked it a lot! It was funny, meaningful and eye-opening. Great movie with drama but with lots of love!

Seeing Steve Carell in a more "serious" role was great too! Ryan Gosling isn't bad to look at! ha! And Emma Stone is a favorite of mine especially after seeing "The Help".

I recommended going to see it if you haven't!

Buy Buy Baby and more!

Saturday the Mr. and I set out on an adventure of registering! It was such a fun day!

Getting to "shop" for Tucker was exciting and overwhelming at the same time!

Our first stop was Buy Buy Baby. We had been told by friends that we needed to find one in GA and go register. There are only three locations in GA so we went to the one closest. We were SOOO impressed! Buy Buy Baby is the same people as Bed Bath and Beyond. The store is set up the same way and the people who work there are just down right helpful and friendly! We spent almost three hours in the store. In each section that we were in there was an associate that was there to help if we needed it. Overall it was such a fun experience and would HIGHLY recommended if you are expecting to register at Buy Buy Baby!

Our second stop was Babies R Us. We probably didn't pick the best location but it was the one closest to us. I've been inside a nicer one before, but we still registered there.

Our final stop was Target. I had started a registry earlier this summer with a close friend because I was told to take someone with me. We just switched some things and added a few other items. I'm not a huge fan of registering at Target because of their strict return policy but it's a very convenient place for people picking up gifts.

We had a lot of fun picking out stuff for Tucker and look forward to the more exciting things that come with having a sweet baby!
