happiness

Chip and Shannon are married and on their honeymoon as I type. The wedding was great and the reception was a fantastic party. I even got Jeff to dance...multiple times!! We had a blast. :-) It was awesome to be able to see the whole family and to meet Shannon's fam. They are all pretty cool! (As an aside I think I should mention that Jeff thought that Shannon's grandmother's name, which is actually Oma, was Old Ma. Hysterical!)

Anyway, I have entered the second trimester and all seems to be going well. I have not suddenly been blessed with an abundance of energy, but I do not feel quite as tired as I had been. I am pretty tired today, but I attribute that to the weekend of wedding festivities! I go get a flu shot this afternoon and then tonight I am auditioning for an alto/tenor duet in the Bach piece that we are performing in the Athens Master Chorale. Hopefully all will go well!

sick and tired

...literally. I have had a cold for over a week now, which I just can't shake. I am really tired today and just feel icky...mostly due to the cold, I am sure. The only light at the end of the tunnel, is that if I still have a cold in two weeks, once I am into my second trimester, I can take Sudaphed! Yay :-)

Other than that, things have been going well. I was in Pensacola two weekends ago for my friends' Ray and Dixie's wedding. It was awesome. I got to see old friends and even hang with Chip and Shannon some!

Chip's wedding is two weekends from now. I can't believe it! I am looking forward to seeing the whole fam. This will be the first time we will see some folks since we have announced the coming of baby 'Berry! :-)

Baby preparations are coming along. I'm not really sure what you are supposed to figure out in the first trimester, but we have picked out a crib set (which my mom has so wonderfully already ordered), we are borrowing a crib from Jeff's cousin, and we have started registering for stuff at Target.com and BabiesRUs.com. I think things are moving right along! Jeff and I have decided we will start packing and cleaning the apartment in December, while I can hopefully still participate in the process! We hope to begin looking for a house in Tifton in February and then we'll see what happens!
