We have to do things the old fashion way.... 

All for a craving! :)

Adventure #3: FESTY

As most of you know, J and I LOVE live music... which means -- it can't get much better then a music festival!  Especially a low key but lots of fun bluegrass fest put on by The Infamous StringDusters (insert swoon) in Charlottesville, VA! Titled: The Festy!!!!  

This fest was so relaxing!  We were camped in a prime spot; in the tree line for shade, visuals of the entrance & of the car, and with some of the worlds greatest Duster Fans...no joke -  one of them was announced as Fan of the Year during the last night.  He was so proud :) And the other ladies are such good fans, that now they are friends with the band....jealous. 

Kirkland drove over from Lexington on Saturday to hang for a bit.  Spending time with her is always amazing!!!

Nuff' Said

It was beautiful there - settled in the Blue Ridge

We camp light, this is our little grey tent.  It gets cozy in there...
This Momma is going to need a bigger tent soon!

Adventure # 2. Dever part 2

I am just posting a few pictures instead of a real blog post! Bronto got a limo for our Denver dinner @ Vesta Dipping Grill in LoDo (the hip area of Denver).  I had an amazing time with great company.  I highly recommend it!

Bronto...always in style :)

the craziest limo I have ever been in... 

Steak toast with Brontonation at Vesta Dipping Grill was priceless. Look out for us on Travel Channels' Food Paradise someday!

4 fellow Bronto's, enjoying their delicious margaritas...

Adventure # 2: Denver. Part 1

My new favorite city...Denver, CO.  It was beautiful!!  Everyone was friendly and welcoming.

I was sent to Denver for work, Bronto Software participates in an annual conference called Shop.Org.  (more described in next post)

As SOON as I found out about the trip, I immediately decided that I was going to go a day early and go to the ZOO!  :)  I have heard that the Elephant exhibit @ the Denver Zoo is amazing...so naturally, I convinced a co-worked that it was a good idea to fly out a day early.  Luckily, she loves Giraffs, so it was pretty easy to get her on board.  

Here are some pictures from our adventure!!

Heart Beat Central!

Well, we had our first MidWife appointment,@ Durham Women's Clinic, on September 5.  It was emotionally intense and information overload!  Started with the new usual; peeing in cups, blood pressure, WEIGHING (I stood on the scale backwards), and health interrogation.

And then something magical happened.  We were walked into an ultrasound room!!  Of course, she made sure all of my 'bits and pieces' were good to go - then showed us our little nugget!!  I mouth fell open and I gasped.  J just smiled and squeezed my hand.

And it got better, much better.  She turned on the speakers and let us hear the heart beat!  Tears were streaming down my face, it was the most powerful sound I have ever heard...

Ms. MidWife let us know that we were 10 weeks and 3 days long, and our due date is 3/31/13 - Easter Sunday.  Amazing.
