Thanksgiving 2014

Well, I'm 38 weeks preggo and instead of boring you with how ready I am my body is to have this baby, I'll post our Thanksgiving recap instead! That is much more fun. But just in case you were actually wondering, this baby is welcome to make his appearance any day now for the love of my hips, shoulders, stomach and sleep!

We celebrated Thanksgiving at my mom's house with my sister, her 2 kids, and our friends Chris, Meg & Avery. Amanda and her boys, Cole & Wes, came up Tuesday night and Wednesday was Wes's 1st Birthday! Canon and I grabbed some cupcakes for the sweet boy to celebrate with that evening. And wouldn't you know, I even brought over the big camera! (though, it is still sitting on the table, so a picture of a good picture will have to do for now)


I was really excited for Canon to get to hang out with his cousins, so that was the focus of our days, other than eating of course! 


MoMo gifted the boys with matching PJ's - one set they put on that night, the other is saved for Christmas Eve




On Friday evening we went to the lighting of the Alexandria Christmas Tree in Old Town and met Santa! Well, Cole met Santa, Canon was not as excited. He did love that light saber though! 


I was very impressed by Santa and Mrs. Claus! Obviously real looking and the lighting for the outdoor shots was awesome.

Looking forward to prepping Canon some more and hoping to get another visit with Santa before the season ends! 


And a few other random shots from the weekend:

We installed the infant car seat! It's getting real y'all!! 

I love watching him play!

Posing on Thanksgiving Day because I LOVED his outfit


I hope your Thanksgiving was filled with family, friends and joy like ours!

Well...there is not really any other way to say this but... Aaron and I are having a BABY! Yep, Baby Schultz should be arriving this Labor Day. We could not be more thrilled about the news! Once we got through the 12-week ultrasound, which is what this picture is from, we were ready to spread the news! I know there are still lots of people who should have gotten phone calls, and for that I apologize that you are finding out now, but I was just ready to get it out there! And now I will answer the questions that typically follow up this kind of announcement. 1. Were you trying? Well....not exactly. From the beginning I have felt pretty strongly that we were not in control of this whole baby-making situation. I have known many women who got pregnant on birth control, or when they didn't even know they could, and those who "planned" it and then it has taken longer than hoped. I've just always been pretty sure that when the Lord determined we were ready, He'd ...

Arise Campus Ministry 9.23.14

Over the past few years, I've had the opportunity to be part of some awesome ministries. From time to time, I've been given the chance to speak and I wanted a place to keep those files. Here is where I'll post my talks, Bible Studies, etc that I'm either doing or creating.  Arise Campus Ministry at George Mason University 9.23.2014 This week I want to tell y’all a little about my story, because the word “belonging” is extremely significant in it. I came to Christ at the end of middle school – which for me were terrible years. Think about all the stereotypes of mean girls and being made fun of and left out, and that is my story. It all really fell apart for me at the beginning of my 9 th  grade year when every girl I had left middle school fighting to maintain a friendship with completely ignored me. I had a peripheral friendship with a girl who was a church goer and accepted her invitation to become part of their youth group. I had been on and off, but nev...

February Goals

Happy February! I'm joining Elizabeth and Sarah to talk about B+ Goals for the month! I am loving the idea of setting up some attainable goals for each month, but also giving myself grace for meeting or not meeting them. This year I am focusing on my Physical and Spiritual Health. First, a quick review of January's Goals. January Physical Health Goals : * hit my 10,000 steps 4 days of the week (I work a desk job, so this means I'll have to do some extra walking either before or after work) * track my food  January Spiritual Health Goals :  * read Simply Tuesday by Emily P Freeman * start my day with Jesus Calling and First 5 App   As my husband would say, I won more days than I lost in January! My fitbit broke 3 weeks into January, so the last week and some I wasn't able to track, but I did get to the gym to run a few times without it. I also tracked more food than I didn't and the days we were at work I did really well staying w...
