2 Weeks To Go!

Now that we're married and expecting our first child (2 weeks from Thursday!), we've decided to start a blog to update all our loved ones on our growing family. We're so excited for the arrival of our baby - we can't wait to share the entire experience with everyone.

We just celebrated our 27th birthdays this past week. Overall, we kept things pretty low key but definitely enjoyed ourselves. I gave Jodi a Wii which totally surprised him and he loved it! He's been playing Mario Kart and Guitar Hero every day since he opened it. I received a new camera for my birthday and a 'kid-friendly' purse...that is, one that's much smaller that can fit in the diaper bag along with an equally small camera that I can tote around to capture all of our child's cutest moments!

This weekend kept us busy with working outside to try to get a head start on all the landscaping needs for our yard. We're trying to get a lot done before the baby comes and we're making some decent headway. I unfortunately am not much help but I'm definitely out there to support Jodi in his efforts and make fresh lemonade to keep him going! So far this spring we've stained the deck, planted some flowers, moved our vegetable garden across the yard and created a new flower garden in the backyard. We have a goal of adding a fire pit with a stone patio surrounding it by the end of the summer but we'll see if the new baby allows this to happen!
