3 years!!!

3 years ago today, I walked down the aisle to the most handsome man in the world. I can honsestly say that I couldn't be happier and more thankful to God for bringing such a WONDERFUL man into my life. He is MORE THAN what I had hoped for in my wildest of dreams. I tear up thinking about how much the Lord knows me and LOVES me, by simply giving me the gift of Murray. (I would bawl like a baby if I counted my other blessings too!). I look forward to countless other anniversaries with him. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I love you, Murray!! "My heart is and always will be....yours!"


Here we are at the Nashville Courthouse signing our marrigae license. What a FUN memory!!


I can't believe I get to be Murray's wife!!! I'm so excited, I just have to click up my heels!!


On the evening of our wedding day (we got married at midnight on the morning of Valentine's Day) we attended the wedding of Murray's cousin, Eileen and her new hubby, Eric. They were SO GRACIOUS to share their wedding day with us...and Eileen even attended our midnight ceremony! Happy 3rd Anniversary to you guys too!! We love you!

Baby #2

Well, we got our 2nd peek at our little baby yesterday. We are officially 20 weeks into this pregnancy so we've reached the half-way point. It was a little different this time around. I remember with Faith's pregnancy, I was counting down the days until her 20 week sonogram...this time, the appointment kinda snuck-up on me. Still, it was so wonderful to be able to see the little one moving around and measuring correctly. Our friend, Mindy, watched Faith at our house so it was also nice to have some "alone" time with this baby (does that sound totally ridiculous??). After the appointment, we celebrated at one of our favorite restaurants (just like we did after Faith's sonogram). It was such a wonderful day!

We decided (again) to wait until the baby arrives to find out the gender. I must admit, it was much harder this time to not find out. I kept asking the sono tech if she had seen the gender yet. The 1st time she said no. After that, she said that she knew, I almost caved...we even contemplated calling later but I am glad we still don't know. My FAVORITE part of the delivery process is having Murray announce to me what the baby is (and then having him go out to the waiting room to announce it to our family). I LOVE that part!!

Here's the sweet little one's picture. I think the profile is very similar to Faith's. I can't wait to see what he or she looks like and I can't wait to see Faith's reaction to her baby brother or sister.

Thank you, God, for this beautiful and perfect gift!!
