Happy Valentine's!

Scott and I had a wonderful Valentine's Day! We went to Fleming's-- an incredible steak house here-- with two other couples. Fleming's is our favorite spot, but it is SO expensive that we are lucky to go two or three times a year. We usually go on our anniversary or to celebrate (being pregnant!) or for Valentine's Day. It was a great night and so fun to sit around and catch up with old friends. We have all known each other since college-- during our wild and crazy dating days! Now we are all married with kids! It is so amazing to see how far we've all come. Praise the Lord that we all are still in great marriages!

While we were eating dessert, country music singer Leeann Rimes came in with her husband Dean and their entourage and sat down right behind us. Nashville is such a cool town in that respect.... I think stars are generally treated "normally" here without all the paparazzi and fuss. That's probably why Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman hang out here so much rather than in LA.

Anyway-- when we were getting up to leave, I noticed that Leeann looked at me, turned to her husband and then started whispering. I can only imagine what she was saying, but probably something along the lines of "She is HUGE!" Or, maybe she was saying she'd like to start a family of her own... Who knows?!? But, I thought it was funny that she would end up whispering about me and not vice versa!

On this Valentine's Day, I can't believe how blessed we are! We have a great son and a daughter on the way. I still love Scott madly, and after 13 years, he is still my best friend. I am so happy to be going through life with him and sharing all these wonderful times together.

Thanks, Lord!

We shipped Luke off to my parent's yesterday. Scott had to be gone to Denver overnight, and I just didn't think I could handle 48 hours of non-stop Luke... at least not with just over a week to go before Caroline arrives! I was also getting sinus-y-- which makes me tired and draggy. We knew he'd have fun with Pa Bob and Ma Betz and that they enjoy keeping him. It has given me a chance to get some last minute things done on my to-do list as well. They'll bring him back Saturday.

We are getting very excited about Caroline's arrival! It is still so hard to believe that we have made it to this point! As much as we feel "prepared" this time around, I am sure our worlds-- and Luke's-- are going to be rocked! Even so, I am thankful for the chance to relive the beautiful chaos an infant brings.

Thanks, again, Lord!
