First comes love, then comes marriage...

and now we're having a baby!

Justin and I are so excited to share the big news with you!

i have to share this with someone...

So I was watching food network for lunch inspiration and instead lost my appetite.

Paula Dean just frosted a salad with mayonaise. I'm pretty sure she said "just like any good southern girl" as she spread a thick layer over her salad.

That's when she lost me. I would throw up but I'm still in shock that someone would think to do this!

playing catch up

So I haven't been wasting away on the couch all this time, being the lady of leisure I am. I've been thinking for a while it's about time I updated. (I imagine you agree.) So let's play catch up.

1.
My parents came to visit! We went on a road trip through Pennsylvania to New York for my cousin Ben's graduation from West Point.

2. Justin and I celebrated our third wedding anniversary :)

3. Justin and I flew home for a whirl wind weekend where we got to see

A)

Mom's new house out in the country and

B)

Ben and Jordan's beautiful Messina Hof wedding

4. I finished my first year teaching middle school and Justin finished the OB/GYN rotation

5. Justin celebrated his 26th birthday.

We drove up to Pennsylvania and toured the Yeungling brewery (oldest brewery in the US). It is our favorite beer since we've been here.

6. Dad, Chris, and Grayson came to Baltimore for a fun filled vacation where we toured Baltimore, D.C., Philadephia, enjoyed roller coasters at Hershey Park, and taste tested fabulous crab crakes.

7. Justin moved to Hoboken, NJ for a new rotation. Since he's been there we've toured ground zero, been to the top of the empire state building,

stood in times square, visited rockefeller plaza, browsed in Macy's, and strolled through Central Park. We watched the national debt clock climb and Justin tickled Elmo.

We've also really enjoyed seeing our friends Christina and Andrew who also live in NJ.

And there you have it! I think we're just about caught up :)
