crazy, busy, fun life!

April and May have been sooo busy!  This post is going to be in a bullet format so I can spare you from the otherwise many paragraphs!

Since our last post:

• Colter and I got part of our backyard fenced in (thanks to Colter and my mom and dad).  We hope to finish fencing the rest in sometime this month.  Zoey (our pup) is very excited about this!
• At work we've had 21 new employees added to our organization- 2 will join my team when they finish training.
• Colter's work is going well.  We just attended a farewell dinner for a doctor who's leaving the hospital.
• April Doctor appt: Baby P is doing well and weighs over a pound! Heartbeat very strong!

• My mother retired from the hospital- 32 years of service!  Congrats Mom! (picture below)
• Colter and I attended a leadership conference that had some amazing speakers, authors, professors, etc!  I'll share a few quotes (below) from the conference that Colter and I really liked.
• Good friends of ours got married.  We attended their Greek rehearsal dinner and wedding. It was a very unique, authentic Greek experience!  Always neat to learn about another religion.
• Colter's played golf several times. He really enjoys the sport.  Wish I could play with him but my belly gets in the way. haha
• We attended 2 charity events...one was a Derby party!  (picture below)
• We've had both our cars worked on...only small issues thankfully. 
• We had a small plumbing leak at our house and got that resolved after getting some outrageous and almost funny quotes.  
• Colter and I started getting the nursery ready!  We have a crib, mattress, and a new rocker/glider! :) We have also picked out the paint color for the room and bought new shelving for the closet that Colter will soon install! :) my handy man.  My grandmother is making the baby a quilt so with my mom's expertise, Colter and I selected several fabrics for the quilt that will match the nursery colors/bedding.
• We celebrated my first Mother's Day!  Baby P and Zoey got me flowers and Colter gave me a beautiful orchid! :) :)
• We have another doctor appt coming up on the 24th.  Soon after this appt I think we'll start seeing the doctor every 3 weeks rather than 1x a month.  Only 15 weeks and and 2 days left!
• We've registered for all our prenatal classes!  The first class starts June 4th! 

Okay, so y'all get the picture.  Super busy!!!  

Here are a few pictures from our past month...

A few quotes from our Leadership Conference:

“We don’t grow on accident, we grow on purpose.” – JohnCMaxwell

“It is when we stop doing our best work that our enthusiasm for the job wanes. We must motivate ourselves to do our very best, and by our example lead others to do their best as well.” 

- Truett Cathy (Founder and Chairman of Chick-fil-a)

“I am sick and tired of hearing about getting bigger, if we get better our customers will demand that we get bigger.” -Truett Cathy (Founder and Chairman of Chick-fil-a)
