Addendum

Justin pointed out that I didn't post on his two favorite things in Arlington Cemetery. We watched the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

JFK's grave site and the Eternal Flame.

Catching Up...

I know it's only been two weeks since I posted last, but we've done a lot of things since then. So here we go...

On October 27th, Justin was sworn in to the Missouri Bar. Most law students are sworn in at the state capital where they took the bar (Jefferson City, MO for Justin). However, a friend of Justin's pulled some strings and Justin was sworn in at the US SUPREME COURT!! This was quite a treat. Justin was sworn in by General Suter, Clerk of the US Supreme Court.

General Suter joked and said, "Now you can tell people that your first appearance as an attorney was at the Supreme Court." :)

A few weeks ago, Justin and I visited Shenandoah National Park. It's located in the Appalachian Mountains. The views are beautiful in the fall, but it was a little foggy when we went. This was the first lookout point. We couldn't see 10 feet in front of us. Haha. Luckily, the fog cleared, so the entire day wasn't wasted.

We hiked down to this small waterfall. On our hike, we saw a black bear and several deer!

After the fog cleared.

On Veteran's Day, we visited Arlington National Cemetery.

I knew it was big, but I didn't realize how big until we walked part of it. The entire cemetery occupies several city blocks! It's huge!

Of course, I had to post something baby related. :) This is the adorable pack n play / bassinet I picked up from Craigslist. It's practically brand new, cost 60% less than store price, and is just plain cute!! I can't wait to use it! :)

Her First Outfit!

That's right! On Friday we found out we will be having a little GIRL!! We are very excited! Honestly, I was really thinking it would be a boy. Many people also told me they were "feeling" boy. And we can't forget the cake (although we can give it the benefit of the doubt as it was showing some pink). Anyway, we were pleasantly surprised, and of course, I had to go out and buy something right away!


Okay, this is more like her 25th outfit. :) It's a 12 mo outfit. I didn't really like the baby clothes in our Walmart, and I've heard that baby shower gifts pretty much take care of 0-9 months clothing. So I found this super cute shirt, jeans, shoes and bow. I had a lot of fun picking out the outfit, and I think Justin might have even enjoyed it at little. :)

Here are the jeans and shoes up close. Can you tell that I'm excited?! :)
