Vegas BABY!

November 6,2009...after much peer pressure we went to Vegas with Brandi and Grant. I was not very excited that we were going....due to the fact that I am pregnant...but I had an amazing time! Friday night we went to see kelly Clarkson, Saturday brandie and I went to the Spa relaxed and had massages, followed by shopping at

Caesar's Palace. Then on to dinner at Prime in the Bellaigo, and then to see Circ du Solie, "O". It was amazing. Sunday we took it easy. We went to the wax museum, to see the bodies exhibit at the Luxor, then to see the Beatles "Love" at the Mirage. We flew home on monday. Sometimem peer pressure can be a good thing. This was probably our last trip to Vegas for a while....only 10 week until Mary Clayton will be here!

Scottsdale

We were in Scottsdale, AZ for a week in September for Gary to attend a United Healthcare seminar. He did not have very much fun, but I had a blast!!! I worked out every day, then read and laid out by the pool. It was oh so nice. We did have fun going out to eat... Los oliovos, twice, mortons(YUM!), Blanco, went to a D-backs baseball game. And Gary won 5400.00 at the casino! So, overall, it was a great trip!

Fall Decorating and Remodel

Here are a few pics of the house decorated for fall. Also, We are in the process of remodeling the hall bathroom...more pics to come.

Baby Wilkes Bounds

Baby Wilkes made a surprise entry into the world yesterday. We are ready for him on Wednesday...but he decided to come early! Whitney and Wilkes are doing good and he is so precious. It makes me really ready for Mary Clayton to be here!! I am 6 months today! Hooray!

Mary Clayton Varner West

Well I am 22 weeks today and I guess it is about time that I posted our exciting news! Mary Calyton Varner West is due January 29, 2010. She is growing great and is a healthy little girl. Gary and I could not be more thrilled. I found out I was Pregnant May 21 around seven in the morning. I had not been feeling great since the marathon...I was so tired!!! I took a test and low and behold I was pregnant. I was not sick any and am still playing tennis and walking/jogging (no more runnning after 20 weeks) 4-5 time a week. So far in her life in utero, Mary Clayton has run a marathon, been to Guatemala, flown to Arizona...we can't wait for her to get there! January seems like a long way from here...but the first 5 months have flown by....hopefully the second half will fly by as well.

Long Time No Blog!

I can not believe it has been five months since I last posted. A lot has happened!!! April 11 I turned 29...still can't believe that....April 19, Gary and I celebrated our one year anniversary.....April 25 ran a marathon in Nashville....that's right 26.2 miles....April 31, I traveled to Palm Springs California to Jennifer's Bachelorette party...May 26-30 we went fishing in guatemala....we have been to the beach several times and are staying busy. Here are some pics to document the time that has passed!

Happy 29th Birthday Gary!

Today in Gary's 29th birthday!!! I can not believe we are turning 29 this year. I so do not feel like we should be twenty nine. We Gary and I re-met at the Flora-Bama...I had just turned 26. Ten years after we had broken up in the 11th grade! What a wonderful three years it has been. So much has happened. We got engaged, bought a house, remodeled the house(which is still a WIP), got married, got a new puppy (who will be one tomorrow!!!!), and are now about to start trying to have a baby (sometime after our 1 year anniversary). I am such a lucky girl to have my one true love in my life. I can not wait to see what the next year has in store for us. We are truely bessed.

(Above are some pics from 2006 when we were at the beach)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TEET.....I LOVE YOU!!!!!
