A Special Delivery!

I am so happy to announce that a special delivery is on its way! My husband Brad and I are expecting a new little addition to our family on February 1st! Coming up quite soon, actually! I've been meaning to create a blog post to announce the exciting news for quite sometime, but week after week has passed me by, and now I am at 32 weeks along! We are waiting to find out the gender, which has been quite a fun experience, although it did require a little persuasion on my husband's behalf.

The baby room is coming along, although there is definitely more work to do. A couple of weeks ago, my mom, my best friend, and I went on a hunt for a vintage dresser. We ended up going to 14 thrift shops, and finally found a winner after much perseverance. The dresser currently resides in my parents' garage where my mom is giving it a makeover. I will definitely share pictures as we make progress on the baby room!

Apple Pickin'

In true fall fashion, some friends and I took a little road trip to the apple orchard this weekend. It was the prettiest day for apple picking. Crisp blue sky. Plenty of sunshine. The perfect fall day. I made sure I took full advantage of all the orchard had to offer--namely it's delicious food. I indulged in some warm, fresh kettle corn, an apple fritter treat, and of course, I just had to have an apple right from the tree.

A Kansas City Weekend

My family and I spent the weekend in Kansas City and what a beautiful weekend it was! Minus a little bit of rain on Friday, it was mostly pure blue sky and fantastic weather. Our main purpose was to catch up with my brother, Kevin, who works for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and was in town to play the Chiefs. Besides rooting on the Bucs and visiting with Kevin, we were able to slip in a little shopping as well. (You can see a little peek of my mom with the evidence in the bottom left picture. hehe).

Tomato Sandwich

I'm kinda obsessed with tomatoes right now. They just started popping up in my garden and since last year was such a bust, I'm really making it up for it this year! I made myself a tomato sandwich yesterday afternoon and it was just delicious. A few slices of a freshly picked tomato, a sprinkle of pepper and oregano, and just a little bit of spread (I'm a Miracle Whip gal myself). Such a tasty treat.
