6 Years Married & 30 Weeks Pregnant!


This was a big week of small milestones! On Sunday, Philip and I celebrated 6 blissful years of marriage. Blissful, challenging, fun, exciting, memorable, ups, downs, moving away, moving back, job changes, 4 houses...that's our marriage! And while it's not always perfect, it's perfect for us! We have had a lot of experiences in our 6 years of marriage and 9 years of being together. Who would have known all that would lie ahead of us when we said "I do" in 2004! Hard to believe that it's 2010 now, and we have lived in 3 different states, now on our 4th house (one we plan to be in for a long time to come), taking the biggest risk 3 1/2 years ago by moving to MS and the incredible, marriage-strengthening memories that we made while down there...and then the blessing we received when we decided to move back HOME to Atlanta. We made a choice to hold-off on starting a family until we moved back to Atlanta, and now here we are...so happy to be surrounded by family and friends in our hometown, and celebrating 6 past years of just the 2 of us (plus Hunter!), now expecting our beloved #3...we're starting our family in nearly two short months. So here's to half a dozen wonderful years with my hubby, my best friend, and my partner in the parenthood journey to come...I love you!

This week also marked Kinsley's leap from the 20's to the 30's! We hit the 30-week mark today, and we had another great routine OB check-up to "celebrate" yesterday! We are both moving right along! Hunter and I went over to eat a yummy dinner (and play with Pal) at Dan and Ang's last night since Philip was out of town with work, and my mom snapped some updated belly shots of me! Look out, waistline - Kinsley is growing bigger every day and it shows!!!
