Baby Girl!

We're having a girl!!! No name yet, but at least we can say she instead of it/he/she/George/the baby...she's officially a she!! We'll update later with pictures from the ultrasound and a name when we have one.
She's also very healthy and looks great - and very cute, but I guess I'm a little biased...but she really is cute, so whatever.

For anyone who actually reads this blog and doesn't know our big news, we're having a baby!!! Baby George (my dad named him/her) is due in February and I'm a little over 14 weeks along. We're so excited! I'll post again next week when we find out what we're having (if George cooperates that is!) Here's our last ultrasound at 10 weeks.

In other news, I have a new job as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner starting in late September and I'm very excited. Our house finally sold after 19 months and we found a house to rent for now in Spring Hill, TN. Oh - and I graduated! Lots of good news and a lot to celebrate!

Guatemala, baby!

Cody and I just got back from a medical mission trip to Montellano, Guatemala. We both had the most amazing time and can't wait to go back. Here's some pictures from our trip.
These are all the amazing nurses I got to work with down there. I love all these girls!

I didn't really push him. Don't worry.




Quiet in the Nurses Station, everyone!
This was the sign on the door leaving the OR. I thought it was halarious.
This is me with my new friend, Ashley, eating this fresh pineapple literally just pulled from the ground. It was the best thing I've ever tasted!

Cody drew this picture for this sweet little boy because we didn't have coloring books. He gave it to Cody after he colored it.

San Francisco!!

I just wanted to post a few pictures of our trip to San Francisco. We had a great time! We went to Alcatraz, Wine Country, and many other touristy spots. LOTS of shopping. Cody was a very patient husband and let me go every where my heart desired! So sweet of him! It was a fun trip, but we were very ready to come home when it was time. Enjoy the pictures!! Alcatraz

Happy Birthday, Kramer Izmo King

It's our oldest child's birthday today. (That was partially a joke) He's turning 5. It makes me a little sad, which means it will only be a million times worse when it is our human child. For those of you who know Cody, you know how much he loves his sweet brown boy. He really is the sweetest, most loyal dog you will ever meet. Here are some great pictures of him through the years. Happy birthday brown dog!!

Wedding Weekend

I should have posted this a long time ago, but here it is! Our good friends, Chad and Meghan, got married almost 2 months ago and we got some really cute pictures from the weekend. Meghan was a beautiful bride as you can tell in the pictures and Chad looked great, too! It was so fun to get to hang out with all of Cody's old college friends all weekend. I love them all!

Mexico!!!

Oh, I wish we were still there. Cody and I went to the Mayan Riviera, Mexico, shortly after his graduation. We had to wait on my summer class to get started and orientation and all that business and then we left. We stayed at El Dorado Royale and it was great! My sister stayed there last year and loved it so we decided to go there too. We had a few minor problems with our room, like the AC going out one night in the middle of the night, getting locked out of our room 3 times in one day, and the shower made a noise that really hurt your ears if you made it even a little hot. We also used some kind of sunscreen that apparently didn't work very well, b/c we both ended up with really funny looking and painful burns on the first day. Most of our bodies were white and then there were these splotches of bright red that looked and felt terrible. I promise we rubbed tons on, but it didn't matter. After a few days our burns felt a little better and we were able to get new sunscreen and got no more burns! Yay us! As I type out all these awful things that happened, it really doesn't seem like it would have been a great trip, but it was! We were not about to let anything ruin our first vacation since our honeymoon 2 years ago! The resort was all-inclusive and had great food and room service, which I love! And Mexico was beautiful and the staff was amazing. We'll go back for sure...with better sunscreen! Here's a few pictures of our trip. I love the ones with the monkeys - even though they pooped on us!





These lizard things were huge!!
