We are so Blessed!!

Thank you to everyone who attended my baby shower this weekend or sent gifts!! And a special thanks to my sisters for hosting such a cute shower - and Mom too for all you do!!

































They did a Nautical shower theme to match my nursery theme and it turned out so cute!!














Emily & Matt got us a Sailboat Mobile to hang over my crib!! I heart it!!

Everything is really starting to sink in... I'M HAVING A BABY!! I even have the goods to prove it now ;)

Micah's Puerto Rico Trip

Micah & Preston returned from Puerto Rico in one piece, but I'm not sure we can say the same about way they left Puerto Rico ;) From what I gather, they went scuba diving, drank and drank some more. Here are some pictures from their trip!
















































They also went on a Bio-Night Life Adventure to the "Brightest Bay in the World" and went swimming with glow-in-the-dark plankton!! Apparently, the plankton light up bright blue when they are agitated by movement in the water... They couldn't get any good pictures of their own, but here are some I found of the same bay they went to.

One Baby Shower, Five Pregos, One BIG Baby!!!

Yesterday I attended my first of five baby showers this summer. Don't worry, only two of those showers are for me, but there is definitely something in the water around here! Everyone is pregnant!!

So yesterday, I went to my sister's neighbor Jaclyn's baby shower. All the women were buzzing about how many pregnant girls there were there - Me, Emily, Nikki, another girl I don't know, and of course Jaclyn. Five of us, or should I say ten :) , in one room. Anyway, long story short, everyone kept coming up to me and asking me when I am due. They were all shocked to learn that I am due in September because I look like I am "about to pop".

One woman said, "you must be due any day now", I quickly told her I am not due until September at which time another lady, who I later learned is a mother of twins, was convinced I was having twins, and kept asking me over and over again if I was sure that there weren't two babies in there... I mean seriously?!?! I am only 26 weeks!!

Truth be told, I am about the same size as Jaclyn, who is due the beginning of July, so I guess I am pretty big for being only 26 weeks, but these women were really freaking me out!! What kind of Amazon child am I carrying around?

My Guilty Pleasure

I know, I know... I'm supposed to be studying for the bar, and I AM studying!!! But my all time favorite show just started back up, and I'm thrilled to take a break from the books to be so entertained by the fabulous dancers and choreographers on this show!! Its too early in the season to pick a favorite, but I'll be sure to update everyone on who I pick to win. I highly recommend this show to anyone who has any appreciation for the world of dance. I love it and secretly wish I could audition one day. But, considering the circumstances :), I think I've hung up my dancing shoes, at least for a while anyway.

Micah's Vay-Cay to P.R.

This morning I dropped Micah and his friend Preston off at the airport for a week long vacation in Puerto Rico! Their first stop is Vieques, P.R., a small island off the coast of Puerto Rico. After flying into San Juan, they took a very small plane over to the island. Apparently, Micah's trip is off to a great start as he texted me earlier that the pilot let him fly the plane to the island!?!? He said the pilot took off and landed, but let him do the rest... And, NO, Micah does not know how to fly planes!!!!
















This is Vieques. I'm not going to lie... I'm a little bit jealous of him at the moment as I look over my barbri schedule and settle in for a week of studying and no Micah :( But his vacation is well deserved - he has been working so hard lately and so many long hours - not to mention there just wasn't a way to work out a vacation for the two of us this summer. Trust me I tried, but I just have too much going on! Plus, being 6 months prego would've put a damper on a Carribean vacation. I'm just looking forward to our DESTINATION WEDDING next summer!!!

Graduation!!!

I'm officially a graduate of South Texas College of Law!! We celebrated on Sunday with friends and family at my parents' house. Thanks to all those who attended! It was a great day!!

Dad Is Home :)

My Dad has been working in Saudi Arabia for months now, and he finally got a three week hiatus to come home to his family. Him being so far away has been hard on everyone, and our family has realized how much of a rock he is in all our lives. We have really come to appreciate our time together.

The Bowens came in town and we all spent the weekend at my parents house! Micah's family and mine really do blend together so well! We had a great weekend!
