Arizona 2016

I had never been to Arizona and I can honestly say it was not a place I was dying to go, however I am always up for a trip and seeing the world. So thankful Jeffrey has a company that takes on cool trips and most of the time we decide to extend the trip since we will already be there. This year was no exception. We stayed two nights in Flagstaff, explored there (cutest college town ever) and a day at the Grand Canyon (seriously breath taking), then headed to Sedona. We only got one night in Sedona amongst the red rocks and I could have definitely stayed there longer. After Sedona we headed to Phoenix for the work part of the trip which consisted of lots of pool time, dinners and some r&r. We definitely fell in love with Arizona and will be back!

 Thankful for travel with JWJ,

It's a GIRL!!!!

We are so so excited to be welcoming a sweet baby girl into our lives. We love her so much already! I seriously am overwhelmed with Gods goodness. This precious life is such a miracle and we are lucky to be her parents. We had fun celebrating the big reveal with family and friends. My sister and bestie went out of there way to make it such a special occasion. It is a day and birthday I will NEVER forget. 

Such an awesome side note..5 years ago to the day we were celebrating our engagement. Thankful for the last 5 years with Jeffrey and cannot wait to see what the next 5 hold! 

Thankful to be a mom,

Birthday Fun

This birthday was extra special because we got to find out the gender of Baby Jones (post coming soon). Jeffrey also made me an appointment at the dry bar and rounded up our besties for a cooking class at Sur La Table. It was a fun way to spend the afternoon and we are already planning our Christmas date there.

Thankful for Birthday Fun,

MJ

13 Week Bump Date

13 Weeks with Baby Jones has been amazing! Overall I have felt great (with some nausea, some stomach issues and of course feeling very tired), I am very thankful for that! The best so far has been hearing that sweet heart beat, seeing our baby and telling all of our friends and family. Everyone has been so excited and supportive we have felt so loved and encouraged. Seriously we are overwhelmed with the amazing family and friends we have in our life. We are excited to find out the gender and continue to watch our baby grow!

Longview Weekend

It has been a veryyy long time since we had a weekend in Longview with The Heflin's. We decided this time to explore Tyler. We had a fun day seeing the rose garden, eating lunch and doing a home tour. Our time together is never long enough, but we are thankful it is just a 2.5 hour drive away!

Thankful for weekends with family,

MJ
