Headed to Ireland

For our 1st anniversary, Riley and I got each other a trip to Ireland. However when we got this trip...I was not pregnant! haha... We leave Wednesday. The one thing I am really nervous about is driving! We have a car rented (because I heard thats the best way to see the country) and Riley will be doing most of the driving but 1.) Driving on the wrong side of the road with a manual car 2.) Not knowing where in the heck we are going! 3.) My nausea and small curvy roads just doesnt seem like they are going to mesh well!! But other than that we are really excited! We will be traveling everyday to another county and staying in a different Bed and Breakfast. I just pray that I feel better than I have been feeling so I can enjoy it! My doctor did prescribe me some meds for my nausea this week so maybe it will work! I will not be taking the laptop there but I will post about everything when I get back.

A 60th birthday party

Yesterday we had lunch at the University Club to celebrate my Mother-in-law's 60th birthday. Happy Birthday to the best Mother-in-law anyone could ask for!!!

4th of July

We had a great 4th of July with Rileys family. We were in Fairhope for a long weekend. We spent some time at the Grand Hotel pool and Riley and I drove over to Gulf Shores for a little while on Friday to see our friends, Mandy and Wade and their triplets. The girls loved the beach! We also got to see 2 big firework shows...one on Friday at the Grand Hotel and one Saturday by the bay. I didnt feel that great...but it was still aAdd Image great weekend.

Brilyn didnt like the loud noise of the fireworks!
