Thank you!

Well... it's been a few weeks since my "come back" blog!

Thank you to everyone who read my blog and sent me their "congrats" and happy thoughts! Everyday is a new excitement... well... until 3pm and I just want to crawl into bed and sleep until the next day! BUT... I must continue to do my day-to-day stuff... and I am hoping with only a couple of weeks left in the 1st trimester, I will get me energy and appetite back!

I know some want to see photos, but I just don't think I am ready for that yet. Next week I will be at my company's annual event and I know there will be awesome photos from there... so I will be sure to post those for everyone!

With work being super crazy for the past few weeks and Frank starting his baseball season... we are definitely looking forward to a weekend to ourselves... and visiting our god-children!

Hope you all have a great weekend as well...

I'M COMING BACK!

Hey everyone... I'm coming back to my blogging... and there is a lot to catch up on!

I was chatting with my best friend (Missy) the other day... and we were laughing about how we were dreading turning 30 a few months ago, but we have been shown that God has His plan for us!

A few short months ago, Frank and I were overjoyed to learn that we were going to be expecting our first child! As most people do... we were excited to share this news with our family and friends. Only to learn a few short weeks later that I was carrying in my left tube and was going to have immediate surgery to remove the baby and tube.

We both have tremendous faith in God and know that He has His plan for us and our future... and of course our family and friends supported us 110%! We couldn't ask for a better group!

We recently celebrated our 1st ANNIVERSARY by going to Jersey to visit Frank's family and just to get out of Charlotte and away from everything we were going through! We caught up with friends and family and went to the Phillies game! It was definitely a fun trip for us.



Since then we have had a few other events going on... went to Atlanta, GA to watch the Phillies vs Braves with my cousin (Jennifer) and her boyfriend. We celebrated my nephew's (Zane) 8th birthday... hard to believe he is growing up so fast!



And most recently... I went on my Annual Girls Trip with my best girl-friends to Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach, NC! It was a fantastic time with my Ladies! It is always worth the time away just for us to be us... in a different city!

This past weekend... we FINALLY (and I say that happily!) got to throw our other best friend (Amanda K, centered below) her baby shower! She was suppose to have her shower in March, but was put on bed rest prior to her shower. She had her beautiful baby twins (John Thomas and Khloe Marie) on April 14! It was a great time getting to finally spoil her and her babies!



So now... the last thing to tell you... Frank and I have found that we are expecting again! This time... we waited until everything was great with "Baby BOG" to tell our family and friends... and the doctor has reassured us that everything is perfect and right where things need to be! He/She is due to arrive on January 12, 2012... and we are truly blessed that God has given us this unexpected gift so soon!



SO... since people want to see updates, I will be using my blog as the place to do it! No offense to Facebook... but I don't want just anybody seeing my photos! I hope you all are looking forward to this new beginning as much as we are... and we are so excited to be sharing this with our family and friends!

I GUESS 30 ISN'T SO BAD AFTER ALL!
