A Sweet Baby Shower

In November, two of my best high school friends, Ali and Alison, and Alison’s mom Janet, threw me a fabulous baby shower. Everything was wonderful – the food, decorations, flowers, and invitations – they truly went above and beyond!

Working on the Nursery

Nic worked hard on the nursery for several weeks … removing carpet, installing flooring, making and installing closet doors, replacing the ceiling fan, hanging shelving, etc. Luckily, he had some help from my dad, brother, and Caton.

The Past Two Months

Since it has been so long since I have updated the blog, here’s a bit on what’s been happening the last two months…

In October, my brother Brandon, who recently graduated from culinary arts school, was getting ready to move from Austin to Ft. Worth to work at a new restaurant called Grace. So, I gathered a big group of friends to go to FINO, the Austin restaurant where he was a sous-chef, to sample his talent. He didn’t disappoint … it was delicious!

Two of my dear high school friends, Trisha and Ali, are also pregnant. Trisha is due about three weeks after me and Ali is due in April. It has been fun sharing stories, fears and excitement with each other. One Saturday in October, Ali and I visited Trisha in Cedar Hill. The three of us had a blast eating, shopping, talking, and eating some more.

Also, during the past couple of months, Nic and I faithfully attended all home Aggie games. The season wasn’t so great, but we always had a good time.
