The one thing I was so excited about when we came home this time was being able to actually see some of my family and friends. I wasn’t going to be so rushed on this trip and that was such a relief. Jeremy was working for the most part, but I will get to visit a lot. Our first stop was to see our friends Lindsay and Todd, who we met in B’ham and who live there now. We can’t wait to live close to them and all of our other friends again. We were able to go to my favorite brunch place on Sunday called The Classic. On Monday, I had a good breakfast with my grandparents and then lots of fun eating at Jeremy's house with all of the nieces, nephews, and brothers. It was fun! Mom and I did some shopping in Birmingham of course too. I always have to make my trips to my favorite places in Birmingham. While we were in B'ham, we visited Sue and Bill and saw their new house. There is another reason for us to be back in B'ham, our family and friends just keep moving there!!!! We did visit the house at the river several times and I tried to enjoy just sitting by the pool. It was very nice!
I am aware that me and Lindsay were not ready for this picture (because Jeremy was snapping non-stop), but Mary Florence was looking so cute. She looks a lot like her momma!
Jeremy and I made a visit by our old house. I MISS THIS HOUSE... not the location as much, but the house. Once I am in Birmingham, I have to live right in the middle of all the action, but I can't wait to come back!
This morning, I met my grandparents for breakfast at one of my favorite breakfast places, JACKS. Some things you learn to love once you can’t have them, haha! I took a picture of me with them, but haven't been able to upload it. I always meet my grandparents here because they love it as much as I do. However, this meeting was also a time for me to tell them what the names of the baby will be if it is a boy or if it is a girl. I didn’t want to tell anyone beforehand because the girl name would have a lot of meaning to my granddad.
If the baby is a boy his name will be LONG, but we love it and I guess that is all that matters. It will be John Parker Lance Wilson. Lance is Jeremy’s middle name and he really wanted his name to be a part of it if we had a boy. I completely agreed with him. I have always wanted “Parker” as a middle name forever so we decided on John Parker and that is what we will call him. He will have “two names”.
If the baby is a girl, her name will be Charlee Kate Wilson. I have had 2 other girl names in mind for about 2-3 years now and changed suddenly in January! The first thing my granddaddy says to me when I call him on the phone is “Shoot Charlee” (meaning for me to talk), but I just love it and I can see that little girl with pig tails and her name being Charlee. Since we decided on this name, I have learned of a 3 people with this name, one being Rebecca Romain’s little girl. It is becoming very popular. We love the names that we have chosen. I guess time will tell which one it is going to be!
Our summer traveling is in full swing! We enjoyed a wonderful week here at mom and dad's condo. We had the most gorgeous weather and the ocean was clear all week. It was very nice to sit back and truly relax! Tomorrow morning we all head out. Jeremy and I are going to Bama for Jeremy to do some work and for me to "play". I am looking forward to going back and seeing lots of friends, family, and shopping of course. The week will fly by before we head back to Tampa on June 20th. Summer will be gone before we know it and Baby Wilson will be here before we know. Life is changing every day!
