News...

Robert and Sugar have some news to share with everyone!

Robert's surprise when he got home from the gym several weeks ago! 

It's true! We are expecting a little Lee around Novemeber 4! We had the 8 week ultrasound appointment yesterday. As soon as the ultrasound machine was in place, we all saw that we had more than an 8 week old baby. In fact, we had a 12.5 week old baby!

We told our parents a few weeks ago during my 30th birthday dinner. The grandmothers' birthdays are one day apart the week after mine so we gave them each a birthday gift - an I Love Grandma onsie! My mother's panic attack is hilarious!! I can't get the video to upload now, but I will definitely keep trying.

I am going to try for weekly updates like my friend Mindi so we will have the whole journey documented!  Fingers crossed!

Happy Holidays in Pictures!

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!

Playing Catch Up

The past two months have been a whirlwind. So here's an update of life at the Lee house!

• In November, Allyson, Jennifer and I hosted a baby shower for one of my oldest friends, Jessica, at her sister, Bridgette's house. We had a great time and Olivia got lots of gifts! Since then, sweet Olivia has arrived!!
• Austin, Brittany, Robert and I went to the Saints vs. Bucs game in New Orleans. We had a great time and the Saints brought home a win!
• Brittany, Chrissy and I went to Atlanta for a weekend in November. Our friend Jessica flew in from Miami and we all stayed at our friend's Taylor's apartment. We went to some fabulous restaurants that I would highly recommend - Season's 52 and Two Urban Licks. We also watched the Saints beat the Falcons in the Georgia Dome.
• We enjoyed Thanksgiving in Pascagoula. Robert and I came back to watch the Southern Miss v. Memphis in the rain. True fans we are!
• Speaking of Southern Miss football, we beat #6 ranked Houston to take home the C-USA championship! We also won the Hawaii Bowl and have a new coach! I will miss watching Larry on the field but wish him the best.
• In December, we went to an annual Christmas party hosted by our friends Brandi & Marc, Steve and Kellar.
  
• Then, we had the annual Laurel Girl's Christmas party at Allyson and Dave's beautiful home.
• Robert and I hosted a tacky Christmas party at our house this year.
• We celebrated Christmas with my parents at our house the weekend before Christmas.
• Robert Lee turned 31 on December 19th! His parents drove up from Pascagoula to surprise him for a nice dinner at our house.
• We went to Pascagoula for Christmas. On Christmas Eve, we went to church and then had the family over to watch the Southern Miss bowl game. We had a wonderful Christmas celebration at Pam and Scotty's house.

Whew, that was a lot. Maybe that is why I am exhausted. We are staying around town for New Year's Eve and I totally happy about that. Hope everyone has a safe and happy New Year!

Happy Homecoming

Southern Miss is 6-1 and ranked in the USA Today poll! We had a wonderful Homecoming celebration yesterday. There was lots of yummy food and lots of wonderful friends.

Robert and I always make Mexican Corn Dip for our tailgate. It's is a Game Day must!! Here is the recipe:

Mexican Corn Dip

2 cans of mexicorn

1 bunch green onions (chopped)

1 cup mayo

8 oz sour cream

1/3 cup jalapenos (chopped)

1 block of sharp cheddar (shredded)

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon Accent

Mix well and bake for about 30 minutes. Serve with corn chips. We have started adding a can of rotel with habernos.

3 Years as the Lee's

We celebrated 3 years of marriage last week! The weekend before our anniversary, we went to New Orleans. It was an awesome weekend simply because we had no plans. We stayed at a hotel that we have never stayed before, ate at all new restaurants, rode the streetcar to the Audubon park and walked to the zoo, and found a free blues concert. It was a great weekend!

Happy Happy Anniversary, Robert Lee! You are an amazing husband and I am so thankful for you.

Happy Fall Y'all!

It'a my FAVORITE time of the year. Time for football, beautiful weather, sweet cinnamon pumpkin scent, mums and soups! Aren't all of those things WONDERFUL?!

Last month, we had "Robert's Best Friend's Wedding". John Allen and Robert are cousins, but they are also life long best friends. Katrina and John Allen's wedding weekend was perfect. The rehearsal dinner was yummy, the setting was fabulous and the company was great! The wedding ceremony and reception were beautiful and we all had an amazing time! I love when Robert gets to spend time with so many good friends.

Wedding

Well, it's officially football season and that makes this girl a happy camper! Southern Miss is 5-1. We should have beat Marshall and been 6-0 but I will take our winning record. Now, if the Saints can beat Carolina (I'm currently having an anxiety attack as I type), it will be a great football weekend!

In other EXCITING news, Robert took an NP job and will be starting on October 17! More details to come.

Happy Fall, Y'all!

What I'm Loving This Week

1. Hot Tools Curling Iron. I have only great things to say about this curling iron, and definitely recommend it to all the ladies!
2. My husband is pretty awesome!
3. True Blood. Robert and I have never watched a television series together until now. Although, it's getting a little weird, we are total True Blood followers.

Hope everyone is staying dry during Tropical Storm Lee!
