The Holidays are Coming!!!

Well...it's been a long time since my last post...Next week is Turkey Day (not my favorite food day) and Travis and I will be spending it apart for the first time since we go married. He is going home to Missouri with his brother and sister-in-law and nephew, and I will be going back to Kansas to visit my dad, bro, sis-in-law and neice!!!! We both haven't been back in over 3 years so it will be a nice visit! Back to why I am not a BIG Thanksgiving Day fan...I love the parade and the family gatherings but not a huge turkey and stuffing and mashed potatoes and all that kind of food. Growing up I was a VERY picky eater and on Thanksgiving I would only have a plate of: carrots, brocoli, ranch dip, pickles and rolls. That was my Thanksgiving meal. After my mother would slave and sweat in the wee hours of the morning cooking this HUGE meal, that was my thanks to her for making this awesome meal...now I am still leary on the turkey, stuffing etc...But my fam is nice enough to have a small ham on hand just for me. ( OR I like to think its only for me).

There will be more pictures to come after we all meet and enjoy family. I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and safe travels!!!

Introducing...

It was a beautiful ceremony in the back yard of their house...needless to say I am sniffling as I type thinking of all the allergies!!!! Anyways...Here are few pics from our fun weekend...

WEDDING!!!

I am so excited!!!! Tomorrow Travis and I are flying up to Ohio for my cousin's wedding this weekend!!!! I am so happy for Whitney and Chad and honored to be her Matron of Honor!!!!

School has now started so it has been more hectic than ever and I am loving it! The baseball boys are back so Travis is starting back with the workouts and training, so he is getting busier by the day!

We are trying to move to a new apartment by the end of Sept, still waiting about the paperwork but if we get the one we want it will be in Hampton, VA. This will be more centralized for both of our jobs and a MUCH bigger living space with CENTRAL AIR and DISHWASHER. Oh the finer things in life!

Hope all is well!!!! OHHH My super adorable neice Mia said 'Mama' for the first time over the weekend!!! 8 months old with tons of teeth and talking and almost walking!!!! She is a sweetie!!! Can't wait till she is talking our ears off!!!

Soon to come more pics I promise!!!! Hope everyone has a safe but fun Labor Day Weekend!

HMMMM

So lately Travis and I have been enjoying ourselves...He has been working hard at the YMCA and working on the field in his spare time, waiting for camps and I have been helping with transfer students and orientations. Very interesting stuff!!!!

Mia started crawling last week and is getting 3 more teeth!!!! At only 6 months she is an early bloomer!!! I think she will be very smart! :) She is the most content little one I have ever seen and I am not just saying that because she is my beautiful neice!!! Josh and Valerie are doing great and getting ready to move...only if we lived closer!!!!

That's pretty much all that's going on...we'll keep you informed!

BEACH WEEK!!!

We have been going to Kitty Hawk, NC for over 50 years!!! It was a bittersweet vacation. It was our first time going without Gompy but also our first vacation with Little Miss Mia. We had a wonderful time of laughing, crying, and relaxation! I had a great birthday party with hats and a Mexican Fiesta! Who could ask for more? We are already planning for next summer!!!!

Me and Giggy...notice the resemblence?

Miss Mia ready to go to the beach, showing off her cute swimsuit!!! Mom and I at dinner, beautiful view!

Bad News

So just got the text from Travis and they lost both games in the tourney. So ODU's baseball season is now over. They lost yesterday to James Madison 6-1 and then again today to Towson. I don't know today's score, but a loss is a loss. So they will be heading home tonight and I finally get my hubby back!

Baseball camps start up the second week of June and some special days are coming too. At least we have something to look forward to! Our 2nd wedding anniversary is right around the corner and it seems like our 10th!!!! :) We are both turning 27 and that is a step closer to 30! WOW!!!

Only 15 more days until GIRLS WEEK @ the Beach! So excited, wished it was tomorrow!!!! We will keep you posted from mid 70's Sunny Portsmouth, VA!!!!

Travis said that they beat JMU 2 out of 3 games during the season so it should be a good game. I will keep you updated on how they do in the tournament!!!! Have a great Wednesday!!!!
