The Past Month

Lots has been going on the past month, so I'll just start from the beginning and work my way forward. My birthday was earlier this month and right around Easter, so Matthew and I went to his parents' house for Easter. We got there on the Friday before Easter. We pulled up around 8pm and as we were walking to the door, I turned to Matthew and said, "Man, it's really dark in their house." Normally there's lights on, etc. Well, as we opened the door, we were welcomed with "SURPRISE!!!!" My mother & father-in-law, sister & brother-in law and niece were all there! They had thrown me a small surpsie b-day party! It was so thoughtful of them! I didn't know that my sister & brother-in-law and niece were going to be there so that was a lot of fun! Easter was also great and good to be with them all! Here are some pictures from that:





Matthew and I also did our own little birthday celebration when we got back. There's a great restaurant here in Pensacola called The Fish House. It sits on a bay and has a deck and is a really great atmosphere.





Then a couple of weeks later, Matthew and I made a quick trip back to Oklahoma. It was a short trip, but we went back for my best friend's baby shower. She is SO cute! We had a lot of fun spending time with my family and with Amy and her husband. The shower was also a lot of fun too! That was the first time I had seen Amy pregnant - meaning seeing her belly. I just kept staring at her the whole time to try to get used to it! ha! But I did get to feel her baby move and that was exciting!!! Amy and Aaron are keeping the baby's sex a surprise so we call the baby "AJ" for Amy Jr. or Aaron Jr. Can't wait for the baby's arrival!
