One Year Anniversary

Kevin and I celebrated our one year anniversary at Grove Park Inn. We had a wonderful weekend of relaxation, shopping, touring, and hanging out. We visited the Biltmore House and roamed around downtown Asheville. We really enjoyed our time there and the Inn was great. Saturday morning I was treated to a maternity wrap and massage!!! I was a noodle at the end of that one for sure.
This year has been quite a first year for us. We have laughed, cried, celebrated, etc. People told us that the first year was the hardest but I must say I had a blast. Kevin and I have grown so much and are really looking forward to this next year. We will officially become parents and he will become a Doctor! So at the close of this wonderful weekend we now anxiously await the arrival of our "lil monkey". We are thankful for the blessings in our life!!!

Big Weekend

Well the time has arrived again...Boards! Kevin will be taking part 2 and 3 of his boards this weekend. He has testing all day saturday and sunday. Please keep him in your prayers. He has studied hard and feels pretty good about it. Pray for a clear mind and calm spirit. Also keep him in your prayers the next couple weeks. He goes straight into finals and there is not much turn around time. We have scheduled a little weekend get-away for our anniversary which will come right after finals. We are both looking forward to that. It will be nice to relax and spend some time together then.
Baby and I are doing well. Baby is getting more and more active and loves doing flips inside me. It doesn't get old watching my stomach go crazy. And he/she has had the hiccups the past two nights. I read on a website that they don't mind getting the hiccups in utero, but I beg to differ. The child goes crazy when he/she has them. It is hard to believe I am about to be in my third trimester!!! Time is flying!
Well gotta run...thanks for you prayers!

Kevin's 10K on Labor Day

Kevin had quite the Labor Day this year. About a month ago he decided to sign up for the US 10K Classic here in Atlanta. He started his training right away and was very diligent about running everyday. He only took one day a week off to rest. He quickly went from running about 2 miles to 5 miles within that month of training. So we got up at 6AM Monday and heading for the starting line. I was able to see him start the race but missed him finish since they didn't provide the transportation they said they would have. I was so bummed and stood in the parking lot of a mall waiting for a shuttle to take me to the finish line. Kevin on the other hand made it to the finish line in 1 hour 10 minutes! His goal was simply to finish the race but I knew he would do great! And he did!!! I was so proud! And now in true Kevin fashion he has decided to sign up for and run a Half Marathon on December 27th...yup this year! He will begin that training and I know he will get it done! My goal is to have this baby and then maybe run a 10K next Labor Day...we shall see! Below are a few pictures I took of the event! Yes I was the crazy wife out there with the camera taking tons of pictures of the hubby! I was just so excited.
The rest of Labor Day was nice as well. We came home and got ready for people to come over for a cook out. We love having our friends over and it was a wonderful time of community with them. All in all in was a great day!


About 7:00AM before the race started at 7:45


The sign on the bridge that is up for a while before the big day!

Jordin Sparks sang the National Anthem. I was able to get really close and take pictures!


The MASS of people running. Kevin is in there somewhere!


YAY! I made it to the finish line 30 minutes after him but was so excited to see him!!!
