We have a name!!!

After much thought and deliberation, Matthew and I have finally decided on a name for our beautiful little girl...Edie Elizabeth Allen. The name Edie is in honor of my grandmother (my dad's mom) Edith. Although she passed away before I was born, I have always felt a special connection to her. My dad says that I posses many of the same qualities that she had, and I so proud to name my daughter after a such wonderful woman. The name Elizabeth was easy to decide upon. Both Matthew and I have always loved that name, and Elizabeth was such a righteous woman. Her commitment and dedication to God was amazing!

Both Matthew and I cannot wait until the day we get to hold our precious baby girl. In the meantime, we will just have to practice with our friend's (Mike and Julie) little girl. Her name is Lily and she is a cutie pie. I just know that she and Edie will be great friends:)

Update:)

I'm so sorry it has been so long since my last update. We have been really busy getting ready for the baby and spending time with friends and family. In February, Jared and Katie made their annual trip to Houston. We had so much fun hanging out with them! It made us wish we lived a little closer:)

Here we are at the House of Blues!

In February, we were lucky enough to have visits from Matthew Carroll, Matthew's brother Peter, and his beautiful bride-to-be Sarah. We can't wait until their wedding in August!!!

In March, we were able to spend time Lindsey Thurmon...oops Norris and her wonderful husband Brad. Lindsey was in town taking a test and they stopped by for a quick visit. We were also able to spend my birthday weekend with my parents and my brother who helped us pick out essential items for the baby such as a crib and a stroller. We are so grateful to have been able to spend time with the people we love!

Enjoying my birthday dinner with family:)
