Registry fun tonight with Steven and Wendi! #babiesrus #kidsatheart

Big shoutout and thank you to Wendi who helped us soooooo much with registering for baby Z! Steven and I would have been so lost without her help! A little heads up for first-moms-to-be... don't think you can go one time for a couple of hours to register... It takes forever! Well that is if you are anything like me... I had to make sure its perfect... i'm still working on it! :)

I have the best boss ever and today is her birthday!! Happy birthday Kelly! Thank you for not only being an amazing leader professionally but someone I can look up to in all aspects of life! Here is to another year of cheesy Halloween costumes, girls night outs, successful conferences, outside meetings, long talks in towels, having backs, many laughs and learning from the best! You rock Queen Bee! love you! #mybossisbetterthanyourboss

Yup, that sums up my awesome boss and our great relationship!

Who would have ever thought!! Went though a box of old high school handwritten notes a couple of nights ago and found 3 movie stubs from all my high school years... why I decided to keep this one I have no idea but sure glad I did! The other 2 were random with no writing #crossroads. @thecastardian I guess you made an impression on me! love you!

That is exactly what happened. I took about 2 hours out of my night to read old letters and the 2nd to last thing I pulled out of the box was this.... unbelievable! So good!

Just waiting on it to get dark....

At last minute on July 4 Steven decided that we should have our own firework show! Jessica and KK came over - we hung out in the driveway and put on an ~~awesome, huge, mind-blowing~~ puny little show for some neighborhood kids! :) We kept telling them that this one was gonna be big... none of them left the ground! We had 1 dud and 1 that wouldn't stop smoking...even after dumping water on it!

Regram from Steven! He caught me pickin fresh tomatoes and cucumbers from JJ's garden! #lovemesomesummertime

Each year my mom plants an amazing garden in her backyard filled with yummy healthy veggies! She grows so much that when we go over, she tells us to go in there and pick whatever we want to keep! She knows how to grow 'em!

17 weeks! #kennesawmountain with Erica

It was my first time up K Mt in a long time. I couldn't believe how out of breath I was but I made it!

Going back to the beginning. Starting my study on Genesis this morning! Excited to shift my focus on God's power and majesty as he did when he created everything, to feel loved through the details of grace, mercy, and even wrath and judgement, and to be reminded of what it means to walk and have a personal relationship with Him, full of faith and forgiveness, like mankind once did, while relating to their mistakes and disobedience. #genesis #frombrokennesstorestoration

This is just a Monday Face for ya! Enjoy!

Had lunch with this beautiful girl at Panera! Love me some Sydney!

Let the nursery making begin! #paint #crib #121314 #zaiahcastardi

So you would think that the guy would want to put together the furniture and the girl would want to paint but not in this household! Funny story... I put together the entire crib in the arts & craft room right outside the nursery and then we go to move it in and it won't fit....we had to take 1/2 of it apart, move it in, and then put it back together! Good spirits though! We are going with black, grey, and blues!

Stone Mountain with the family! #wehaveafirsttimerinthegang #funnelcakes #glowsticks #spinachdip

Kiley brought down her new boyfriend, Jake, to good ole GA! It was his first time so we took him to the Braves game and to Stone Mountain... 2 GA classics! We made sure he got some funnel cakes there too along with glowsticks on his neck! :)

19 weeks Atlanta Style! #gobraves #zaiahcastardi

Go Braves!

Jake's first Braves game!

Good times at Turner Field!

This gum. I haven't been wanting minty gum lately but I love me some gum and I saw this sucker like it had a spotlight on it... cotton candy and bubble gum mixed! Yum.

For someone who is pregnant and has not only a growing belly but growing legs...

I now know what the pregnancy waddle is... at this point, it's because you don't want your legs to rub, has nothing to do with your belly & back! :)

#Riskonnect marketing team improvising and overcoming #ACisout #middleofsummer #gofigure

AC went out at work but Wendi and I knew where a fan was stashed... luckily we work right next to each other that we could put that sucker on rotate and we were golden!

Pinterest fail for me this morning! Sorry about that Steven - hope your store bought granola bar tasted yummy!

No more words needed. The pic says it all.

Just a small gathering of friends tonight! #kidseverywhere Steven can't wait to hold a diaper bag!

We all went out to Mellow Mushroom for Heathers bday/time to get together since we all live so far away and are in such different seasons of life! Always a good time... lots of kids this go around!
