Showers

Jeremy and I have been very fortunate thus far in our marriage. We have a new house, baby on the way, great jobs, and wonderful family and friends that surround us! During the last month, our friends and family have given us 4 baby showers to prepare for the little slugger. My salon - McKenzies Salon Studios gave us a shower and went in together to get our car seat, stroller and a few other goodies. My mom's family gave us our second shower complete with baseball theme. Our third shower was given by my best friend and new mom Wanissa Watts, her mom Melissa, sister Alicia, Karen Lynch and Susan Turner at our church - also with a baseball theme. Our last shower was given by Jeremy's dad's family whom calmed my nerves with plenty of diapers and essentials thank goodness! We are truly blessed and thankful for how everyone has helped us prepare for our new bundle of joy!

The New House

Now that you know a little about us....I'll give you some details. Jeremy and I just built our first house approximately 30 minutes south of Dallas and we love it. It's been fun decorating and getting ready for Jax. I've included some pictures. The baby's room is not done but I thought I'd give you a peek. Since Jeremy is a baseball coach and loves the Boston Red Sox, that is the theme of the room complete with red sox bedding, toy box, rocker, tin signs and clothes thanks mostly to Jeremy's mom and sisters! My mom and I made the bedding and window treatment (which isn't finished yet) but I'll give you an update when its all up. I've also included pictures of the living room, our bedroom (yes that's a towel in the irregular shaped window for now), the study, kitchen and spare bedroom. Enjoy! Rooms not shown include

bathrooms and formal dining room because there's nothing in it yet.

The Beginning

Let's start at the beginning......Jeremy and I actually met about nineteen years ago (1989ish) and dated over the years. After a long road, we finally decided that we were meant for each other and got married December 17th, 2005 at the Scottish Rite Cathedral in Downtown Dallas. We have now been married almost two and a half years and have acquired two spoiled rotten dogs in the process - Mona the boxer and Razor the german Shepard. They have no clue but in approximately 4 weeks their worlds will be turned upside down when our first son - Jax Dean Jackson - will be making his appearance around May 31st.
