As we prepare to say goodbye...

Tomorrow the movers come to pack us up and take us to our new start! Jeff, if you know him well you get this, was being very sentimental about our house last night. I, being completely overwhelmed with everything that needed to be done, didn't even think about it. Until this morning! I started thinking about all the moments this house has had for us! We started our lives here, found out I was pregnant here, brought Sadie home here! We've had so many special moments, that yes, I could get so very sad about it... but truly, its exciting, because if there has been so many great moments here... just think... what will the next house bring??? We will bring Tripp home there, have many of his first moments there, and who knows what else. And then a day will come we move to our next home and start a new chapter there! I lived in the same house for 16 years growing up. Never thinking I would move and one day my mom decided, lets move 1 block down and 1 street over. Maybe thats why starting a new chapter is so exciting to me! Who knows! But, tonight will be our last night here! I hope that instead of being my "normal" self when I'm stressed out, I will sit back and enjoy these moments with my family! See you guys when we get settled into the next chapter... until then... God bless!

A new blog!

Ali's "30" List!!!

I'm still doing our same family blog, but a friend has inspired me to do this, as well!

Half way there!

We have hit 20 weeks. It has flown by! Probably because we have a 1 year old to run around after! I feel like I am smaller than I was with Sadie, but truly its probably just that I'm carrying it different. Not to mention I'm not having a celebrity bakery cookie EVERY day and I only have 1 lunch a day... haha! But, no, I really have had a much easier pregnancy and thank the Lord every day. I don't know what I would have done if I felt like I did when I was pregnant with her! Yikes!

Where's Sadie??

Jeff let me know this morning that I hadn't updated anything about Sadie on the blog. I thought, surely I have. But then I looke back and its been almost a month! Here are some recent pictures!!! Enjoy!

A New Adventure

Jeff and I are about to embark on a new adventure that will move us to Brownwood in, get this, 9 days! Oh my goodness!!! Jeff will be the new Brown County Agency Manager for Farm Bureau. This will move us about an hour farther from my family and and hour away from his family! A great location! We have known for almost 2 weeks and have already got a lot taken care of. We have movers set to come in and pack us up... yes, my husband is wonderful and agreed to having movers pack us since I am pregnant and can't lift much. We have our house on the market to sell or lease. We have already had 3 or 4 showings in a week and a half. Hopefully something will happen with that soon. We sold our camper :( I'm sad about it, but its not something we got enough use out of and it would have been a headache to move! This morning we got word that the reantal house we wanted is ours! We are so excited! Brownwood, suprisinly, had hardly any rental homes for the size we needed. We had a lot of offers to lease a house that was for sale, but it would remain for sale! Not something either of us wanted to deal with. We will be about 15 minutes north of town in a very secluded area on 16 acres. It has a gorgeous view. Yesterday on our way back home we stopped by to look at it and as we pulled up to the gate there were two deer playing with each other. There are deer feeders all over the land! I can't wait for October to roll around and have them right outside our windows! I have already found a doctor. One of Jeff's agents' wife referred me to her doctor and it just so happens he used to practice with my old doctor when they were first out of school. Alot of the nurses in my office told me to tell him hi! Now its on to getting everything turned on out there... electricity, gas, water... and definitely CABLE :)

We are having a...

baby boy!! We found out today. The day I found out I was positive then it was a boy. Then throughout the pregnancy, this far, it has been so different from when I was pregnant with Sadie... no morning sickness, carrying different, feeling pretty good! So today, when we went in, sure enough! Its a boy! His name will be Tripper Allen Whitt, and he will go by Tripp. We are so excited to have one of each now!!!

I found this quote and HAD to share:
