Meet Lucas

Yesterday afternoon, my e-mail was flooded with pictures of this guy!! Aweeeee..LOOK AT THAT SMILE.... I can't wait to meet the little guy. Meet LUCAS! He will be coming to this world sometime in April.

Did you know LUCAS was in my wedding as well?

See picture below ;-)

Here are his proud parents!! Very exciting time for them both.

Myself and two lovely ladies have been busy bees planning their upcoming baby shower. I will be blogging those ideas after the shower in March. Keep your eye out for it!

Bonnie Raitt & Adele

Last week at my Valentine's dinner, " I can't make you love me" by Bonnie Raitt came on the radio and my sister in law, Nicole says that Adele had her own version of this at a live concert.

Since the 14th, I've heard it on Pandora like 5 times! It's crazy how you don't notice something until it's pointed out. Now, I'm in love with Adele's version.

Sorry for all the Adele post. You tell who my favorite artist is right now? ;-)

A Story about Dad

Story time!

Yesterday, my father called Ryan to wish him a happy birthday. He started the conversation off with birthday greetings and reminding Ryan to enjoy life because it flies so quickly after 30! He also mentioned to enjoy everything around such as his wife, friends and family and try not too work too much.

Ok... just hearing the fact that my dad told someone not to work too much was pretty hilarious since my father is a work-a-holic. I was already laughing at this point.

.....Back to the story.

After 20 minutes of telephone time and a great father & son-in-law conversation.

My dad had to cut Ryan short because he needed to get back to WORK!!!

Ryan was left puzzled!!

...WAIT...

What happened to not working too much??!!!

My dad cracks me up! He's always been a hard worker and provider and I love him for that!

Craving.....a margarita!

Happy Birthday Danielle

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANIELLE!! Today, she turns 29! We have been friends since high school and I couldn't be more grateful for her friendship.

Goodness, we have lived so many chapters of our lives together

and I can't wait for the future chapters to come.

Many of you may remember Danielle from previous blogs in regards to her singing at my wedding.

Her singing is pretty amazing!

Have a lovely birthday Danielle! Wish I could be there to celebrate! Love you!

I wanna dance with somebody!

Since Whitney Houston passed away, I've been listening to her songs non-stop. I've always been a huge fan and this hit always puts me in a GREAT MOOD!

Great song to wake up to on this Wednesday morning! Yes.. I'm dancing!

Happy 30th Birthday HUSBAND!

Tomorrow's my husband's 30th birthday! As I like to joke.. THE BIG DIRTY 30!!!

30 years ago, he was brought into this world to be someone's son, sibling, friend, colleague, and husband.

YUP, MY HUSBAND!

He is one of a kind and has a heart of gold.

Words can't describe how blessed I feel to have him in my life.

On Saturday, we met up with Ryan's siblings for our traditional "Breakfast Club" gathering....and.... to celebrate his birthday early!

Ryan opened his BIG birthday card from me which gave clues to....... A TRIP TO VEGAS!!

SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 hrs later we were on a plane to VEGAS for the weekend!

Later that evening.....

We headed to the KA Cirque du Soleil show thanks to my parents!

They bought the tickets for Ryan's birthday!

It was a fun & quick trip! WE HAD A BLAST!

Also, I learned quickly that I'm a pretty good gambler and Ryan is horrible!

It made for some good laughs.

Happy Happy Birthday to the most amazing husband! Love you babes.
