We're getting close!!

I've been wanting to update the blog for a while now, but the last several weeks have been a whirlwind of activity from showers, to getting the nursery ready, to a weekend trip away for Zack and I! It has finally slowed down just enough to have a few minutes to update on our busy last several weeks. We were blessed with three different showers during the months of May and June. The girls in the couple's small group bible study that Zack and I are part of, along with my friend Erin threw me a wonderful shower for my friends and family. We played lots of baby shower games and I had a blast! My wonderful co-workers at Kids Path threw the both of us a shower the last weekend in May- I am so very lucky to work with such a great group of people. All of my co-workers are now having a contest to guess the day and time of Caroline's birth, and how much she will weigh. Can't wait to see who wins! The first Sunday in June, Zack's aunts threw us a shower for extended family and friends in Greenville, SC. We are so blessed with incredible friends and family who love us so much and want to welcome Caroline. One thing is for sure, she will be loved! Here are a few pictures of the showers: Zack and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary June 22. We decided to splurge a little and take a special weekend getaway in early June, as a celebration of our marriage and upcoming parenthood. We stayed at a wonderful bed and breakfast in Waynesville called The Yellow House. It was so incredible and a much needed relaxing weekend away. We visited Asheville and Cherokee while we were there and spent some time on the parkway. Zack and I may have waited a little longer to start a family than most married couples do, but we both have said that we wouldn't trade one second of the six years we've had with just each other. We feel lucky that we have had the time to establish a strong and healthy marriage which we know will benefit Caroline, too! Here's some pictures of where we stayed and some shots on the parkway: It's hard to believe we only have about two weeks until her due date!! My doctor says she basically can come "anytime now" so stay tuned- our next post may be of pictures of our little girl! WE'RE READY!!
