31, A Fun Year Behind Me, A BIg Year Ahead

Another year, more excitement.  I will say I wasn't as thrilled about 31 as I was 30.  31 just seems so anti-climatic.  Not to mention the fact I'm feeling awful these days growing this "bundle of joy" inside of me.  Unfortunately, due to feeling so horrible, we couldn't go to dinner let alone have a cupcake to celebrate.  Although it sounds pretty gloomy, I know Travis and I have a big, exciting year ahead of us.

But, before we look ahead, let's look back at the year's highlights...

Took Travis to my grandma's lake house for the first time.  It was my grandmother's 80th birthday!  Love this place.  Tons of relaxing, and even did some fishin.

April brought the surprise engagement.  LOVE my ring...and Travis of course!!

May we took a fun trip to Fredricksburg.  Ate lots of good food, drank some good beer, and did some fantastic shopping!

In June we took lots of pictures.   Took our engagement pics, and did my bridals.  They both turned out better than we ever could have expected!  Leslie Spurlock is amazing.

Funny thing about this last one is the beer bottles in the bottom corner.  We loved Shiner's summer beer, and brought a couple to enjoy for the hours we were out taking pictures.  They ended up making a picture!

July continued the hot, hot, and even hotter summer.  Hottest summer on record!  I drove into Ft Worth for my bridal shower.  So much fun getting to spend time with my girls!  Katie did a great job hosting!

August was a big, fun month of lingerie and bachelorette craziness.  Lacy did an amazing job with the lingerie shower, and all the girls planned a super fun weekend on Lake Travis.  Sadly enough, with the horrible heat came a drought, and the lake was super low.  Seriously sad to see how low the lake was!  BUT, we still had so much fun renting a boat (with just us girls), and spending a weekend dancing, singing, and getting as crazy as we wanted!

September was one of the biggest and best months of my life!  I got to marry my best friend, celebrate it with our amazing family and friends, and then go away with him for 8 days to an amazing beach!! Our honeymoon was nothing short of beautiful and amazing!  If only we could go there every year!  P.S. if you'r needing suggestions on beaches, just ask.  Would highly recommend where we were!

And the honeymoon...

I would of thought the rest of the year would have been uneventful. That it would consist of me and Travis enjoying life settling into being newlyweds.  BUT, we were in for another HUGE life change.  November came and went.  Ran the Turkey Trot with Lace, and enjoyed celebrating Thanksgiving in Arlington with my family.  Come December we would stumble upon some big news...

We're having a baby!!  My mom and Joe were planning on moving to Tennessee to start building their house in March, so Travis' parents were nice enough to invite my parents down for Christmas this year.  It really worked out perfectly, because we would actually all be together to share the news.  You can look back a couple of posts where I told the whole story.  Since I just posted about Christmas not to long ago, I'm not going to post more pics from December.  

And January...my last month being 30.  It really came and went.  We have been busy busy figuring out (more like waiting on God) to see what our future looks like.  Fun, exciting things to come!  I'll post more about that soon!  

So, here's to another year in my thirty's!  To continued life as newlyweds.  To the hopes, fears, and excitement this little bundle of joy growing inside me will bring!  And most importantly, to all that God has in store for our sweet growing family! Cheers!
