Can't Think of Much More - Even More Self-Absorbed.

Guess Who

Can you guess who this little sleeping chipmunk is?  Not only is this my baby daddy, but a man who is halfway through his certification to becoming a guar-an-teed wine sommelier!  Since September James has been working hard towards this monstrous goal and we found out last night he passed the first part and can apply to start the second and final class next fall! 

Congratulations James!  We are proud of you and can't wait to help you 'study' next fall (especially the tasting sections).

Sug's Shower

Here are more pictures from our wonderful shower last Saturday.  Thanks to all my family and friends that travelled long distances just to attend this party; we had folks from Oklahoma and East Texas make the trip.  It really meant a lot to me!

James and I have already started washing all her goodies and placing them in her room.  The nursery is almost complete and I can't wait to show it off. 

The hostess with the mostess. 

Two of my college roommates came down from the OK just to say hi.  I heart them. 

CAW, your elbow looks great in this photo, have you thought about modeling?

There was a fun station where everyone could decorate a custom onesie for Sug.  She's going to be the most unique chicken at daycare - that's for sure!

Little Abby helped with some of the dirty work.

Earlier in the day I was able to go to lunch with all my Interwicz girls.  Very seldom do we all have the chance to get together - so it was very special.  Next up for all of us - Liz's wedding in June!

More to Come

I'll have more photos later - but this past weekend the Lynn family scored big time.  My sister gave me a fabulous baby shower for Sug and we did not come home empty handed.  She was showered and showered with lots of love!

Oh Sug.

SUG UPDATE.

This is a lot of information - you may want to grab a pen and paper.

Our sweet Sugar Bear is doing AWESOME. 

She is a day shy of 34 weeks, head down and her heart beat is sounding great.

Her favorite hobby at the moment is the hiccups.

Soon People, SOON!

What a difference a year makes - Gillespie style.

I meant to do this post at the end of November, as the 26th marked the first anniversary in our home.  But that didn't get done.  Then I meant to do it in December... fail, again.  So, I was determined to get this posted to mark the New Year!

James and I gave ourselves 2 years to try and get this house into shape.  And I can confidently say I think we are over the half-way mark.  Our wallet definitely is.  Pretty sure there isn't one room that is totally complete... but it's definitely better than it was.  We've accomplished large task such as flooring, flooding and kitchen; now we can focus on individual rooms, furniture, decorating and details. 
The early photos are scarce - most of the good ones were on our laptop, which was stolen.  So we'll just have to make due with what we've got!  But it does make me appreciate this sweet little blog and the memories I do record on it.  So here we go.  NO judging... like I said, it's not done.  And I'm not sure it ever will be....
Here's to 2012 - May the sweat-equity stay steady and the real estate market get off it's knees!

 This is a photo of James crying like a little baby, because he has no idea the world of mess that we are about to get ourselves into.

 I found this one to be the best.  What they don't tell you on those DIY shows: Sure you can save money by doing it yourself - but you spend all that extra dough on the tools to get the job done.  As renters, a hammer and a screwdriver were pretty sufficient - now we own Home Depot.
