Doing the Heisman...

Went to the Football Building to visit friends and Mark Ingram's Heisman was there! Had to strike the pose...31 weeks pregnant. :)

So thankful...

What a wonderful time in my life. I think I'll reflect a little... :)

I'm so thankful for the bundle of joy growing in my belly. I'm 29 weeks now. She moves around A LOT which makes me happy because it gives me a sense that she's doing well.

I'm so thankful for my fun, frustrating, awesome, handsome, loving husband. Every day is a new adventure and after celebrating three years of marriage (on Nov. 25), I'm still not tired of him. :) In fact, I can't wait to see what adventures are ahead for the two...make that three of us. I appreciate him more than he knows and thank him for supporting me while I've turned Cahaba Creative into a successful business.

I'm so thankful for my wonderful family. My family and the in-laws do so much for us and I'm so appreciative of their love and support. From giving me a fun childhood to putting up with me through high school and college antics to helping me grow up and become an adult, my parents have always been there for me no matter what paths I've chosen, attempting (usually successfully) to steer me in the right direction. And now, with Lori & Lane's help bringing Bryan's nursery furniture up from Pcola and Mom & Dad painting and repairing and cleaning and shopping, they're helping me with my next endeavor in life...bringing my sweet daughter into this world! (I'll be posting pics of the nursery later.) As for Granny, Ava & Charles, April, Steve & Sarah...I'm fortunate that they are a constant support system and are always helping me with whatever is going on at any given time.

I'm so thankful for all of my amazing friends. My B's are like my sisters and I don't know what I would do without their love, humor, and advice. Bay's friends rock too and have taken me in as if they've known me forever. My group of girls in Bham are always there for me when I need them and always up for a good laugh. I'm so happy I've reconnected with my high school girlfriends and glad they keep me up on Ttown gossip. And I can't leave out my boys that are dear to my heart even though I think they like Bayron better than me now. ha! I'm also thankful that my friends have wonderful growing families...husbands, wives, significant others, children and pets...that love them unconditionally.

I'm so thankful for the kids. Bryan, Madeline, Mary Beth, Avery, Ruby, Juliette, Cade, Macey, Mason Grace, Ethan, Tanner, Stephen, Elliott, Carson, Wells, Dax, Ethan, Sydnee, Joshua, and Liv are amazing additions to this world. And there are more on the way!

I'm so thankful for my constant companions, Abbie and Ezra. I love them both so much!

I'm so thankful that I got TWO Thanksgivings this year! Being pregnant (or even if I wasn't!), it's always great to eat that wonderful food twice, plus leftovers. We had a great time at the Baggett/Burroughs Thanksgiving on Thursday; then we beat Auburn (RTR!) on Friday; then we had a great time at the Bryan/Phillips/Bullard Thanksgiving at my house on Saturday!

And finally, I'm so thankful for the Crimson Tide's awesome season! This past weekend, Bay & I headed to Atlanta for the SEC Championship. Unless you live under a rock, you know BAMA won and we are going to the National Championship. It was an amazing game and although I'm too pregnant to go to the BCS game, I'm so happy and proud of the Tide and I'm also happy Bay gets to go and support the team. Here are some pics from this past Saturday's game.

There are lots more things I'm thankful for but these are the high points. I hope everyone can be as blessed, lucky, and fortunate as me through the holiday season and always.
