30 Weeks and counting

Well, I'm now officially in my third trimester. I'm now 30 weeks prego. Whew!!! It's flying by so fast. I can't believe that I have only about 2 more months before I'm a mom! Jeff and I have been dragging our feet a little on the important things like picking a name, decorating the nursery, and registering. We realized that it's now time to get serious and start some of these daunting tasks. We went to Babies R Us last week to start the registering process and it was pretty overwhelming! There are so many things that you feel like you need. It's hard registering because there are so many options - like the "wall of bottles" and the "pacifier wall". Good thing we have the Internet these days because I spent a lot of time researching the different products and choices.

In regards to the baby room, we live in a three bedroom house so we are having to combine the current office and guest room to make space for Baby Sherman. This weekend we started to consolidate the office and guest room and we were amazed at how much stuff we have collected in the past few years. Stay tuned for pictures of the nursery progress.

Here are a few pics that Jeff took this past weekend. I can't believe how big my belly is right now. I don't know how it can continue to grow for another 2 months.

30 weeks pregnant!

Until next time...

Michelle's Wedding Weekend

This past weekend, my sweet friend Michelle Nix got married. Michelle lived on my hall freshman year at Baylor and then we lived together in an apartment for the rest of our college years. After moving to Dallas for Physical Therapy School, she started attending Northwest Bible Church. Michelle volunteered to work with the youth group and while working with the youth group she met Charlie. He was in the praise band. They hit it off - and a short time later - they were planning a wedding.

The wedding weekend was so fun because it got all of our college friend together again. We began on Thursday night with a yummy dinner at Chuy's and then dessert at Pokey O's. If you live in Dallas, and haven't discovered Pokey O's yet - you are really missing out!!

After dinner on Thursday night, we all went back to Sarah's house and attempted to make Michelle's bouquet for the rehearsal. She had saved all of the bows from gifts from all of her showers. This was the BEFORE.

This was the AFTER! We definitely didn't need all of the bows for the bouquet.
On Friday morning, we had a luncheon for Michelle at Breadwinners. After the luncheon, I headed to Paris for my sisters high school graduation (previous post). The graduation was at 8pm on Friday. Jeff and I then left bright and early on Saturday morning to drive back to Dallas for the wedding. Here's a few pics from the wedding!

The entire wedding party!

Can't hide this bump now.

Beautiful Bridesmaids.

Mr. and Mrs. Roch!

These girls are dancing machines!

I managed to drag Jeff onto the dance floor for at least one song. Baby Sherman got in the way a little bit - but it was fun!

All of the girls!

Congrats Michelle and Charlie!!!

My beautiful sister - Rebekah

This past weekend Jeff and I went home to Paris to watch my BABY sister graduate from Paris High School. I can't believe that Rebekah is already graduating from high school. It seems like just yesterday that I was walking across that stage getting my diploma. It was actually 8 years ago for me.
I'm so proud of Rebekah because she was ranked 4th in her Senior Class! She is headed to University of Texas at Austin this Fall. My mom and I tried to convince her to go to Baylor - but she decided to follow in Dad's footsteps!


The graduation was scheduled to be at the football stadium but due to the threat of rain, they moved the graduation ceremony into the auditorium at the last minute. When they moved the ceremony inside, they limited each graduate to only 6 tickets. We had many family members come up for the ceremony, but they ended up not being able to come. Here's the six "lucky" ticket holders after the ceremony. It didn't start until 8:00 PM, so I look a little exhausted.
After the graduation on Friday night, Jeff and I got up early on Saturday morning to drive back to Dallas. My college roommate Michelle got married at 11:30am on Saturday morning. Pictures of that in the next post. Also, I just had to post these beautiful pics of Rebekah at her Senior Prom this spring.

Doesn't she look beautiful?Dad and Rebekah
