Baby Shower with the Tucker Family!

Today we were blessed by our dear friends, the Tucker family who threw us the most wonderful shower.  Thank you Katherine, Allison, Joyce, Karin, and Martha for the amazing shower, we loved it so much!  Both of our families met up in Houston to attend the shower, along with our dear friend Abby, and Mrs. Strong.  It was great getting to see everyone and have some sweet treats.  We’re also thankful for all the great friendships!

Pregnancy Photo shoot!

We took a break this evening from prepping our classrooms, and trying to prepare for school to go and take some maternity photos with our friend Shannon.  We started off taking some photos at her house, and then ended up at Oyster Creek Park.  We got lucky and after the rain ceased the sky took on a gorgeous color and helped create a magnificent backdrop for the photos. 

33 Weeks

We’re at 33 weeks!  Whohoo!  Baby is kicking like crazy and making Corrie as uncomfortable as possible when she sleeps.  

Game Night at WTBC

We love our church!  Game night was so fun, we enjoyed eating a catered mexican food meal, and then played games with our fellow Sunday school classmates.  The girls played a game of Phase 10, and the guys played Settlers of Catan. 

Road Trip!

This weekend I took a trip to San Marcos with some of the girls from her Sunday School class. I had a blast hanging out with these ladies, sharing stories, and walking from store to store looking for things we desperately needed, or thought we needed.  

During the trip I looked for some new shoes for school, but was sad when I discovered that my feet were swollen, and my normal shoe size would no longer work.  Sad day!  I just pray that my feet won’t stay swollen and increase in shoe size for the rest of my life!
