Wedding Weekend

I was recently in the wedding of one of my best buddies from Dental School. We had a great weekend with the whole crew, so I thought I would share a few pictures of our fun weekend.

The rest of the groomsmen & I (yes I was a groomsman)

LuLu's going to be a big sister!

...and that doesn't mean that we're going to be getting another bulldog! Phillip & I are expecting our first child in August, and we couldn't be more thrilled. We just announced this to our families this past weekend, and I'll be keeping them up to date on my pregnancy through this blog.

Currently I am 14 weeks (or 3 1/2 months) pregnant and our estimated arrival date is August 27th. We've had one doctor's appointment so far, and we got this great (albeit blurry) little picture of our little peanut (my dad thinks it looks like a mole):

For those of you wanting progress on my growing belly, here is a picture from week 12:

All Moved In!

We're here! Phillip & I have actually been in our house for three weeks now, but due to unpacking and a lack of internet (hopefully we'll have it soon!), I've been a little late at posting pictures. Obviously everything is not finished, but I plan on updating each room as I finish it.

This shows a good overview of the layout of the house:

New Pictures, Finally!

Phillip & I have been really busy finishing up school (just 9 days left until graduation - NINE days!), so we haven't been able to head back home to help with the house. Luckily, we have the best crew ever (Ross, Jim, Dave, Dad & Mom) putting the finishing touches on our new home. Ross emailed me some new pictures tonight, so I thought that I would post some updates.

Here's the finished exterior with newly laid stone by the best "masons" ever:

We have cabinets, countertops, light fixtures, appliances, and the beginnings of a backsplash!

Look! It's my Dad laying my recycled glass tile that is driving him crazy - Thanks, Dad!!
