Chicken and Waffles

                                Chicken and Waffles is a big deal down in the south and it's really never sounded that appetizing to me. We had seen this show about a place in Atlanta called Gladys Knight Ron Williams Chicken and Waffles and decided to try it out on the way home. I mean I really like fried chicken and I really like waffles but together it sounded gross. So we get to the restaurant and it's actually pretty fancy, not really what we were expecting. We actually almost didn't stay because the menu seemed a little pricey but the chicken and waffles was decent so we decided to go for it. Thank goodness we did because our food was AMAZING!! The chicken was one of the best I've had and the waffles were perfectly cooked! I scarfed it down, seriously, I beat Ryan! It was so good! Luckily it's like an hour away or we might have a little problem in the weight department. :) The savory chicken and then a bite of the waffles and back to the chicken. I would highly recommend this to anyone!

34 weeks

Wow, I can't believe that Vince will be here in less than 6 weeks!! I was able to tell Harrison that it's less than a transfer away! Vince and I are doing great. It's getting hard to bend over and sleep but it's worth it. People keep telling me that the last 4 weeks last forever, so I guess we'll see. I think December should go by  pretty quick though because there's always so much going on! We went to my aunt Joans house for Thanksgiving in Atlanta which was fun and did a little black Friday shopping. Just about have all the Christmas decorations up, we, well Ryan, are going to put up the lights on the outside tonight! It's our first time being able to do that because we are living in a house!! So excited!

Baby Burp Cloths and Carseat Cover

I made some festive burp clothes for baby Vince!! I only had like 3 and realized I'm probably going to need a lot more! I used flannel for the back and terry cloth for the front! Pretty simple, I just traced another burp cloth I had, sewed right sides together except for a little hole where I flipped them inside out, then sewed that hole together and did a border around the rest! The carseat cover wasn't too bad either, mine's a little big but worked out well! I got my material at JoAnns and everyone should go there on Black Friday, they're having flannel prints on sale for like $1.50!! So I'm definitely stocking up!

North Carolina

This weekend we went up to North Carolina to see Ryan's sister Shalyse and her family. It was so much fun and her kids are so cute and getting so big!! Ryan and Ben went to a gun show Saturday morning and bought a 22! He got a good deal on it so we were excited. Unfortunately when he went to shoot it, he realized that the firing pin was broken, but it's an easy fix. We had a good time hanging out, and playing with the kids! Excited to see them again!

This is one of Ben's assault rifles. Ryan looks made to use that gun!

Here's our 22

Piano

I've been wanting a piano for a while but didn't want to pay the price. I've looked a little on Craigslist, but didn't really have much luck. Well, a couple weeks ago Ryan went to go pick up this dresser we had bought and ended up getting a FREE PIANO too! The people were moving and didn't want to bring it, Ryan asked how much they wanted for the piano and she said that we could just take it!! We were thrilled!! It's pretty out of tune and some keys weren't working but Ryan and I took it apart the other night and fixed the broken keys and now just need to tune it! I'm so excited!

Wood Block Project

I have seen these wood block letters around but heard they were a little pricey and decided to make my own! Here's what you'll need:

wood

mod podge

scrapbook paper

scissors

jigsaw

drill

sexy husband to help you out!

We got cheap wood from the clearance/warped wood section in the back of Lowes or Home Depot and Ryan cut the letters out for me with our jigsaw. I had printed off some letters to trace so it was easier to cut the wood. Now you don't need a sexy husband to cut the wood for you, but he's better at using the jigsaw than me! ;) Next I traced the wood onto the scrapbook paper and cut that out. Put down a layer of Mod Podge, put down the paper then another layer and let it dry. Finally Ryan drilled some halfway holes in the back so we could hang them on the wall and you're done! It's really not that hard and turned out just as I had hoped!

We obviously don't have the mattress yet, it's a work in progress ;)

32 weeks

32 weeks, 8 more to go!! Vince is doing great!! I know I say this everytime but I can't believe I'm 32 weeks already! Ryan and I are taking this Lamaze class thing at the hospital on Mondays and it's getting us so excited!! Pregnancy is going good, I really can't complain, sleep can be a little difficult at times but not bad. I actually organized the nursery so I'll put some pictures up on that soon :)
