Quick "vacation"

We returned from St. Simon's yesterday afternoon...I swear the drive has gotten longer since we last went down 3 years ago. We had a very nice time though and the wedding we attended was lots of fun. The ceremony was held in an old Episcipal church in Brunswick so I loved it (since I was raised in the Episcipal church). I've already told my mom her first task after she moves here is to find us a church as I want the baby christened while Devon is home for Christmas. Plus it will be a great way for Mom to meet people. She is coming up the weekend of July 14th to look at places to live (and perhaps set up a few job interviews). It will be nice to have her visit and we've already planned on my first trip to Babies R US and to go see Harry Potter of course.

I bought my first maternity item - the Bella Band! Hopefully it will allow me to wear my regular clothes a while longer. Especially work clothes, as I only have to wear those once a month so the less I have to buy of the them the better for my wallet! I can't believe I am at the 20 week mark - the months are flying by so fast. Quick brag (sorry) - I made Marsh run with me down at SSI and he was not happy that I dusted him...and I was going slow!!! He ended up telling all of his friends though so I guess he got over the "shame" of a pregnant lady outrunning him. It will be a good story for the kiddo one day. Disclaimer - Marsh hadn't run for a few weeks since he was on the road for work...he is one of those that after 2 or 3 runs he's back at 8 minute miles. So usually I am the one left frustrated (since I run faithfully 3-4 times per week, for oh the last 7 years).

Devon and Phil made it to Dallas late Saturday afternoon. Everything is going well and they are getting settled into their new place. Scarlette had a blast on the road trip, apparently jumping all over the bed at the Holiday Inn in Mississippi. Devon starts work next Monday so she'll have all week to figure out her way around.

Hope everyone has a safe and happy July 4th holiday!
