3rd

We made it to the 3rd trimester. I think the most exciting part about this is knowing that if for some strange reason Olivia needed to be born now.... she'd have a very high percentage of a healthy life! Yay!

Jeff and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary on June 9th by going out to Ruth Chris Steak House. Holy Junk! That was the best food I have ever had in my entire life.. no joke.
On our way to dinner :) 
Self Timer :)

Amazing cheesecake with fresh strawberries on top :)

This past week I went to the NLF conference with my co-workers and both bosses. There were definitely some great things to be learned by all these amazing people who speak every year. I wish more teachers would find themselves spending their time and summers going to grow themselves for this next generation. Hands down the best speaker (in my eyes) was Rudy Ruettiger. Not only is the movie "Rudy" one of my FAVs, I just thought he had so much inspiration to offer. I was also pretty stoked when I was on the way to the ladies room and was able to snag this.... 

Well, Hello Mr. Ruettiger! Sweet! 


Not much has been going on with the Henderson's besides some major organizing and cleaning for the preparation of this weekend. My parents will be bringing her crib and dresser over for us to start the set up of her awesome lil nursery corner we are making her. Olivia's bedding will be ready sometime this week and I can quite honestly say I'm holding my breath for the phone call. I'm so excited! These moments are so surreal for Jeff and I. We aren't taking any of them for granted. I don't know what the future holds for our family of 3, so I'm choosing to be excited for the moments we are in. I've stopped searching for whats next and started to enjoy my "season". It's a life lesson that has taken me too many years to learn. 

Ella, is not quite sure she understands all this hoopla over a baby...

A few pictures...

Well here is a little update of our last few weeks via photos.. 


Jeff finished his second year with Impact. Which was also his last. Since Olivia will be joining us shortly after school starting back and with other changes the group is under going with both feel a peace about walking in a different direction. I'm excited to see what God has in store for Jeff musically this next year. 

After finishing their last worship set in Houston, TX, we went over to San Antonio to spend 2 days relaxing. Jeff and I walked to the Alamo as soon as we got in.. and I'm so glad we did. It was closed but that was great for pictures :), less people. 

My Boo and I :)

On the river walk.. which is also where our hotel was.

At the best restaurant in TX, Pappasito's!! 

^AWESOME^

Spending a great 21 weeks with Jeff.

This is Impact! 

Our last night we got to go on a dinner cruise, on which I had the most amazing caesar salad ever!

Some of the boys waiting to go up to the Sun Dial. 

Enjoying the view for sure!! 

This is the Sun Dial... before it was pitch black! I'm pretty sure I almost died that day. I woke up and walked to the mall with Beth and Kalyn, then met up with Jeff walked around a bit, then walked to the dinner cruise, then walked to the sun dial, then walked back to the hotel... my feet were barking! Not to mention that was one of the first nights I experienced SCIATICA. Awesome new experience that I have now, awesome I tell you. 

Over the next few weeks Jeff and I are starting a nice DEEP clean and packing up our winter stuff, it's now 105 in Mobile. We have ordered our baby bedding, my parents have picked up the crib and dresser and now we are looking for a birthing class to take. Oh, and Jeff already got his "Father's Day" gift. We found the guitar of his dreams at a pawn shop in Montgomery. Thankfully I had been saving anticipating a moment like this for a few months so it was no skin off our nose! (Yay for cash purchases!!) We've also paid a lot of stupid things off these last few months! Jeff is taking 18 hours this Summer :-). He is almost done with his first term and I couldn't be more proud of all his hard work! 
P.S. Our 4 year wedding anniversary is this Thursday!!!
