**Warning** This post may contain ooey-gooey lovey content that may set off your gag reflex.  So, grab your puke bucket and proceed with caution.  Lets get married!! Two whole years...that is how long I have held the title of wife.  On one hand, I am still learning new things about Scott daily.  Every afternoon I still can't wait for him to come home from work and scoop me into his arms for a kiss.  His text messages and random phone calls throughout the day make my heart skip a beat and a smile spread across my face.  On the other hand, he feels like that pair of comfortable jeans that I've owned forever that just fit.  He can read my thoughts by a simple glance and he can anticipate my needs before I do.   Love this one... In the most simplest of terms, first and foremost, I like this guy and enjoy every second we get to spend together.  He is my favorite travel companion and my better half.  He is good to his family and friends and confident in his abilities as

11 months of perfection This is the last month that my baby will be less than 1.  *Slowly wipes tear away*  Is it to early to say he'll always be my "baby."         Birth Stats                 11 Month Stats     6lbs. 5.9oz                    20 lbs. 1.5oz.     19 inches long              28 inches long These days, if you stop by our house, watch out for the tiny little guy pushing his Push-N-Ride at top speed across the floor.  Don't get in his way because he will run you over.  Once he hits the wall, he backs it up and takes off again.  He LOVES the hotel bed Everyday is something new.  Scott and I will joke that we don't even know half the stuff this kid is capable of,  so the little fish doesn't hesitate to throw out a new word or move daily.  Here are a few of his firsts this past month; First un-assisted step(s) Blew me a kiss and said "MWAH" Waved and said "Buh-Bye" Shakes head "no&quo

NASCAR at Kentucky Speedway

The group - Lets go Racing!!! So last year at this time, I was couch bound on bed rest growing a baby.  Scott's birthday was fast approaching and I wanted to do something special for him, so I sent him to Atlanta with his dad to race in an actual NASCAR race car.  Scott was stoked and loved it.  So as his birthday started creeping around this year, I thought "What could be better than driving a race car?"  The answer...going to a night race at Kentucky Speedway!! A little background...I am not a NASCAR fan.  However, since my husband is a fan, that makes me a fan by association, right?  So that is how NASCAR entered my life.  I had never been to a race, but I figured it would be fun, or at least entertaining.  After mentioning to Scott that I was planning a NASCAR birthday getaway, he mentioned that his brother and sister-in-law were also going to the race.  That made planning a lot easier as we decided to stay in the same hotel as them and ride down with them.  (Th
