Towards the end of May, we said our goodbyes to Arizona and began our new adventures in Colorado. We are currently renting a 3 bedroom home and are loving life. I am teaching preschool three days a week out of my home, and am 2nd counselor in the Young Women's. Garrett is working a ton and is also the assistant scout Master. So we are both very busy, and were about to become even more busy.
We are having a baby!!! We found out in June that were expecting a little one in February, the month of love! We couldn't be more excited about this new bundled of joy that will be here soon. We told our families in August and we found out yesterday, that in just three weeks we will find out if it is a little girl or boy. I feel like it's a boy, and Garrett does too. So I guess keep reading for gender updates!

The good old south and some yummy cookin
Where do I start??? So much has happened in our lives since I last blogged. So I am going to sum it up, and post a ton a pics, because I have a ton a pics to show off :)
Garrett Graduated from BCT and AIT in May, so I flew out to Kentucky to see him graduate. It was such a cool experience to see all he's accomplished in just a few months and see all the new changes that the military has brought. I must say I am a proud Army Wife!!
After spending a few days in Kentucky, seeing caves, visiting kangaroo parks, eating delicious BBQ and spending time with his mom and dad. It was time to continue our trip onwards to Nashville, TN. Before we arrived in Nashville, we stayed one night at a beautiful bed and breakfast. It was an old fashion house that was perfect in every way, the best part was our room. We had the coolest claw foot tub in our room and our room over looked a beautiful Garden. So stunning and the perfect atmosphere for spending time with each other and catching up.
The next day, we headed into Nashville. For those of you that don't know. Garrett and I are huge country music fans. That's honestly all we listen to, so not going to Nashville, when we were only 2 hours away would be absolutely crazy. We had so much fun seeing all the old historical sites. And visited mansions like crazy. In one of the pics I will post you will see the mansion that the music video, " If I die young", written by The Band Perry was filmed in. Such a cool experience! Nashville was a blast and we loved every second there viewing everything.
This is the mansion that the Band Perry, filmed their music video, "If I die young." We accidentally came across it by messing around on our GPS. When we drove up to the mansion the whole parking lot was filled with cars. We thought that it must be like a museum and we could go inside and look. When we got inside it was crowded with people, everyone was dressed all nice and drinking wine and cheese. Later we found out that a fundraiser was being held inside, because they asked us if we wanted to donate any money. This was a very rich southern benefit, the guests were donating tons of money. We felt so out of place, but it was so cool to see everything. Later we found out that a famous country girl with blonde hair filmed a music video at this mansion. I thought for sure it was Taylor Swift and this was where love story was filmed, but I was wrong and discovered it was Band Perry.

Graduation day. Yeah, I'm so glad it's all over with :)
We had to stop, so Garrett could take a picture with this road sign! look real close and you will see why.
Right after we exited Mamoth Cave. The biggest cave system in US. Very cool inside!
Were about to enter the cave. We took the lantern tour and it was very dark!
The beginning of the cave
Need I say more! This house is breath taking!

This pic was taken on the General Jackson show boat. We ate dinner on this boat and was entertained by some country singers while floating down the river.
I really wanted that Pink Guitar!
Andrew Jackson's Mansion
Yes, there are Kangaroo's in Kentucky. Surprising, huh?
This is the old Grand Ol Opry. Such an amazing feeling standing on the same ground where famous country starts like, Johnny cash and June performed.
We loved Nashville!
