day 10!! RIP to a wonderful father and footballer!!

Oh man... getting away and spending thursday through Tuesday night at Lake Mead was perfect!! I couldn't have asked for better weather or anything more- RELAXING. Coming home, on the other hand... not so cool! I love being un-contactable out at the lake, but coming back this time meant a slew of good and horrible news.

Just need to take this time to say RIP to Ian Lawther. My heart and prayers go out to Katie and her entire family. I am soooo thankful that I had the opportunity to meet your dad and have some memories of my own... I will never eat a percy pig without thinking about that time driving home from Swindon and nearly dying when Ian turned the wrong way down a 1-way road... causing Kay and I both to choke to death on those little percy pig candies....



Ian Lawther was such an amazing person- and his stories... wow!! Here is a little "bio" I came across online. nifootball.blogspot.com/2007/01/ian-lawther.html ... he was loved by many- and will be remembered forever. RIP.

I can't believe my shower is coming up sooo soon!! It's in 2.5 weeks and it seems that all the things that could go wrong-- are now. I love Tiana and absolutely love everything she has done for me so far. She is putting so much effort into throwing this shower and now there are last minute changes with my mom trying to help (but seeming to step on toes, unintentionally) and Nat not making the cake-- OR even showing up for the shower now. I am soooo thankful for my mom, Danielle, and T working together to throw what I know will be a fabulous shower. I can't wait to finally celebrate with everyone! Kay- I wish you all the best in your trip to England. You'll definitely be in my thoughts!! LOVE YOU!!!

I can't believe how much life has changed in the last year. A year ago, I never could have imagined that I'd be LIVING with Nick... getting ready for our baby girl to get here. I always knew I wanted 2 kids... but thought waiting til I was closer to 30 would be a great time to start... Even though things definitely didn't go to plan, I really couldn't imagine it going any better than it has. I have the MOST supportive man by my side and I really can't wait to see him turn from just boyfriend to daddy!! He is going to be such a great father. 2 friends have now had their lil ones... 2 more to go before me!!! Caitlin and Shannon are next. I can't WAIT to see their lil ones!! :) It's crazy how much life changes in a year... but I really couldn't be happier right now. :)
