WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BABY!

I know I am way behind on posting this news. The truth is Mike and I have been crazy busy! Between finding out we are pregnant, fighting morning sickness (let me rephrase, all-day sickness), traveling to Europe, Thanksgiving in Arkansas and now planning Christmas I just have not had time to devote to our blog.

Thankfully, right now it is snowing outside! That means we are hunkered down inside and I have plenty of time to get caught up on things that I have been neglecting.

Back to our big news...Baby Organ is expected to make his or her appearance on or around May 5th (Cinco de Mayo) 2011! Mike and I are so excited! We know we are in for a huge shock, but we have waited a long time for this and the timing seems perfect. We are ready to take on any and all challenges:)

Most people are surprised with how long we waited to break the news to all our family and friends, but the truth is I am glad we waited. I was so sick for the first 12-14 weeks I don't think I would have been able to enjoy and take in everyone's excitement about the upcoming arrival.

Now that the first trimester is over, I am feeling much better and have more energy and I am finally able to enjoy the pregnancy. I actually felt the baby move for the first time this past Friday!

Mike and I excited about what lies ahead and we are incredibly thankful to have been blessed with this precious little gift.

Fun at the River

A couple weeks ago, Mike, Martini, & I travelled back to Arkansas to spend the weekend with my family. The weekends always go by so quick, but that Saturday we spent the entire day at my brother's house on the river.

We had such a great day! We wished BJ could have been there, but we did get to talk to her using Skype.

Hope you enjoy the pictures from that day!

Titans vs. Steelers

Here are a few pictures from the Titans vs. Steelers game from a few weeks ago. I wasn't able to go, so Easton took my place and got to experience his first ever professional football game.

South Nash Dash 2010

I can't believe it is already November! I definitely have tons of catching up to do in the blogging world. So I will start off with an event from mid September:)

September 18th was the 2nd annual South Nash Dash 5K. I knew I wanted to participate in this 5K since Niki G's Fitness was a sponsor. All my fitness buddies would be out there running and I didn't want to miss it. Last year Mike & I ran this race together, but this year he decided to take on the roll of a cheerleader. Since Mike wasn't running, I knew I wanted a running partner and since this was a dog friendly race I recruited Martini for her first ever 5K.

Here are some of the pictures from the event:

Team Niki G

I know I have been a very bad blogger! So I am hoping to have several new posts within the next week. Be sure to check back!

Monday Night Football!

This past Monday night was the first Titan's home game of the season. The weather was absolutely perfect! The stands were a little sparse (since it was only a pre-season game), but all the freaks still came out which allowed me to do lots of people watching:) I'm not sure which was more entertaining, the game or the people?

Brentwood Classic 5K

This past Saturday Mike &; I ran in the Brentwood Classic 5k. This is the first race we have run in a few months. I usually don't like to run races during the summer because of the heat, but since this race helped out a couple good organizations we braved the temperatures and ran anyway. The Brentwood Classic benefited the Baptist Children's Home and Touched by Grace Ministries.

Our next 5k will be the South Nash Dash on September 18th at 8:00am in Lennox Village. We ran this race last year and once again it should be a lot of fun. Not only is it sponsered by Menchies (YUM!), Niki G Fitness is one of the sponsors this year and is in charge of the pre-run warm-up. Another great thing about this 5k is that it is stroller friendly and dog friendly. So who knows maybe Martini will finally get to experience her first race:) If you are interested in running or walking the South Nash Dash you can click here to register.

Vacation- Port St. Lucie, Florida

I can't believe it has been almost 2 months since my last post! The Organ household has been a little busy the last several weeks. Between everyday tasks, Red Suit Studio business, & and a new business project of my own (I will unveil in a future post:) I just haven't had the time to blog.

Since I am playing catch up this post will be dedicated to the Organ Family Vacation to Port St. Lucie. This year our trip to Port St. Lucie was a little different. Most of the time when we do a family trip with the Organs at least one of the other Organ boys & their families are around for the week. This year it was just Mom & Dad Organ and Mike & I. While we missed the other families, it was nice getting to spend one-on-one time with the parentals.

Our week in Port St. Lucie primarily consisted of golf, pool & eating. The weather was perfect, we were able to play 4 full rounds of golf and we also made it to the beach one afternoon.

We didn't get very many pictures during this trip, but here are a few of the ones we did take:
