Relocated

We are officially moved!

It's great to be in our own place, but moving suuuuucks! However, with the help of our fantastic families, some pre-packing, and a GIANT Nu Klean truck it was pretty painless!

All the cleaning, repairs and painting...now that's another story...thankfully, we've had a lot of help with that from family as well!

I have to give my husband serious kudos for all the work he's put into making this house a home, I couldn't have married a handier dude! I sure love him to pieces!

Happy nesting to us!

Two Totally Different Shoots

We have some awesomely great friends...have I mentioned that yet?

One of my besties from hair school drove up from Vegas for my shower and gifted me with a super fun, and different maternity photo shoot.

Let me just preface this post by saying I really hate pictures of myself right now. Really. But everyone has told me that I'll want some fun pictures to look back on in the future, so...I went with it. And surprisingly, I'm glad!

Jessica is one heck of a makeup artist/hair stylist extraordinaire/photographer, so basically this shoot turned out really great!

I also wanted some pictures with Tadd since, duh, he's the dad. Our friend, Pete, and his wife, Marie, did a shoot for us in PG at the freakiest, but coolest rundown house. They did an awesome job, and I really like how they turned out!

Had to use the little fireman boots!

For those of who don't know the name yet...stay tuned!

Did I Mention...

my sister, Whitney, gave birth to a beautiful baby girl on May 9th?

One of Many

Since I have some of the most amazing friends and family I have had four different showers. Four! I feel guilty for accepting all of them, we've just been so spoiled!

I only have pictures from one of the showers...just too busy socializing with loved ones to bother with visual documentation!

With both grandmas!

I can't even express how grateful I am to all of our friends and families for their love and generosity! Our little dude is so lucky to enter this world surrounded by so many people who can't wait to love on him! Thank you everyone!

Before & Afters

You want proof that the fire academy physical training kicked Tadd's ars? Behold!

What a dish!

Tadd swears he wasn't pushing his stomach out. Believe him. I saw him shirtless plenty of times to tell you there is no exaggeration in this photo!

Mmmmm Hmmmm!

How kind of him to lose those inches while I'm gaining them by the week!
But seriously, he looks so hot! He worked so hard, and it certainly paid off!

post edit: I absolutely had Tadd's permission to post these pictures!
