Ultrasound
We get to go in for our ultrasound on Monday. Can't wait to see our little baby and hopefully find out if it's a boy or a girl! :)

Trip to Baltimore
A couple of weekends ago, Jeff and I took a day trip up to Baltimore. Although I've flown out of the Baltimore airport a few times, I had never gone to see the city. Jeff has gone there for work a few times, so he was excited to take me.
After much deliberation (there's a lot to do in Baltimore!), we finally decided to go see Babe Ruth's birthplace and museum, then we went to the Sports Legends Museum. I guess we were in a sporty mood.
By the time we finished with the two museums, it was dinner time. So we had a nice dinner, followed by walk around outside looking at the water and boats, after which we splurged and got a shake from the Marble Slab (so good!).

We were tired at the end of the day, but we had a great time. :)
Christmas Vacation
Jeff and I were able to go to Texas for two weeks at Christmastime. We had so much fun celebrating Christmas, going to a family reunion, lighting fireworks on New Year's Eve/Day, and just hanging out with everyone. I was excited for Jeff to be able to get to know my family a little better and for them to get to know him.
The day after we flew in we went to the Christmas party for my mom's side of the family. It was so fun seeing family members that I hardly get to see, and some of them got to meet Jeff for the first time. There was plenty of good food, a talent show, and lots of visiting. I was so glad we were able to make it.
My dad is always the guy behind the camera at things like this. Jared was nice enough to help him out by taking over the camera for a little while. (... and Dad's hat and glasses. haha Jared's so funny.)
I got to play volleyball for the first time in forever! It was so much fun. I love playing volleyball with my family. It was the first time for Jeff to play with us. He made me proud. :)
(Sorry for the blurry picture. I guess our camera doesn't take action shots very well.)
After Jeff's run, he somehow still had the energy to stay outside and play with the kids. They loved him. Nobody could pull the wagon as fast as he could...
The big Williamson Christmas party was on Christmas Eve. Almost everyone was in from out of town this year, so Uncle Frank's house was packed.
We stayed with my brother Jason and his wife Alexa for over a week while we were down. They were great hosts; it was nice to be able to spend some time with them. We got to spend Christmas morning at their house (little J's first one!), before going over to Mom and Dad's for the big meal. Jason and Alexa were so thoughtful and got us a couple of gifts so we would have something to open on Christmas morning. It was a nice surprise; they're so sweet.
This is how Mom and Dad's house typically looks when we're all able to get together. With ten kids, seven sons/daughters-in-law, and fourteen grandkids, things at their house can get pretty crazy. The more, the merrier, right?
We were able to take family pictures while we were there. I don't have copies of the dressier pictures we took (with everyone), but I have this one of just me and my brothers and sisters.
Things sure have changed since these days: 
(Kenya had to do breathing treatments while we were there and Jeff was nice enough to keep her company. She's so funny.)
...flag football on New Year's Day for the guys,...
and plenty of time just to hang out with the fam. :)

Anyway, the rest of our trip included a 3 day 2 night Williamson family reunion at North Toledo Bend State Park,...
(including a dance lol)

Done!
Back in November, I finally finished my last class online (one of the happiest days of my life), and I officially graduated from BYU on December 19, 2009. My diploma arrived in the mail a few weeks ago. I can't believe I'm done!

July 2010
Jeff and I are having a baby! Some of you know already, but I'm now officially announcing it on our blog. I'm 13 weeks along, and the due date is July 12, 2010. We're so excited!
We got to have an ultrasound this morning, and so far everything looks good. We got to see our little baby moving around; it was crazy. It definitely seems more real now. It was awesome.
So here's a couple of pictures. They're similar shots, but the second one's zoomed in a little closer.

We haven't had a whole lot going on lately to update on. Jeff's been helping me a lot with my school work. Writing papers is pretty much all we've done the past two weekends, and I spend a lot of my time during the week on it also. We're aiming to be done with my last class in the middle of November. Wish us luck!
