The showers have begun!

So on February the 7th I had my first baby shower thrown by Hillary, Resa, Lara, and Lyndsey! It was wonderful! They made sure that all my favorite foods showed up to the shower! I was really glad that Hillary could fly in and help out since she is out in Denver until we can get her and Tim moved back here with jobs! (Which will hopefully be this summer!) It was a wonderful time of fellowship with friends! I was so excited that so many of my good friends could make it to the shower and share in this wonderful and special time in my life as I'm about to bring little Eli into the world! He is due March the 24th! Only 5 weeks left till his due date! It seems like it has taken so long to get here and now that its almost time things are just flying by. I am so thankful to have such wonderful friends in my life! Thank you to all of you, you know who you are! Below is the link to all the pictures from the shower! Please take a look and enjoy!

32 weeks and counting!

So I am now 32 weeks pregnant and I am ready for this baby to be here...but I need to wait until my showers are over! I am getting really excited because my first shower is in a week and I can not wait to see what baby Eli gets! I did get my crib and it is put together and looking beautiful! And I just got my dresser/changing table and my mom and I are going to put it together today! I'm so excited and I can't wait to get it put together and then I will post pictures of the crib and dresser on here in another blog.

My belly just keeps growing and growing and just when I think it won't go anymore it just gets bigger! So please pray that my baby is not a 9 pounder cause I don't know if I can handle that...I'm hoping for a little boy around 7 or 8 pounds! But here are a few pics of my growing baby belly! These were taken a few weeks ago....

Christmas Time

This is our 2nd Christmas as a married couple and next year will be our first Christmas with our baby boy! I am now 27 weeks pregnant and so excited that he will be here in a few more months! So in preparation for our new little one Daniel and I bought a new Camera. It is a Sony digital SLR. So I have been playing around taking pictures of all the different things we have been doing before Christmas. I took pictures of our tree and some of our ornaments. I also took pictures while I made Christmas goodies with my friend Sarah and her mom. We made peanut butter balls, and they were delicious! We also had our small group Christmas party for Church. We had a fun time of food and fellowship with one another. We also celebrated Daniel's birthday at El Mariachi with friends and family. So here are some of the pictures that we took since the last post. Hope you enjoy! And we wish all our friends and family who follow our blog a Merry Christmas!

Eli Edward Golob... and we are already in love with him. Here are some sweet pictures of him from the ultra sound!

We are so excited and can't wait to see this precious creature that the Lord has made!

One Year

For our one year anniversary Daniel and I went up to the Biltmore House and spent the day with one another! We had such a wonderful day just enjoying each other! Then the next day we spent relaxing together and then Daniel took me out for our anniversary dinner at Larken's on the River. It was such a nice restaurant in beautiful downtown Greenville, we hope to go back again one day! Then we came home and ate our one year old cake topper! I thought it was going to taste bad but it was just as moist as the day we got married, we were both really happy with the outcome.

10 year high school reunion

This past Saturday October 18, 2008 was my 10 year High School Reunion from Byrnes High School. Hillary and Tim flew in from Denver on Thursday night and then Friday we all went to downtown Greenville to surprise Brenn for his 30th birthday. We meet him and Resa at the Blue Ridge Brewing Company to surprise him along with Callie and Adam, Amanda and Keith, and Bradley and his fiancee. We had a wonderful time socializing and catching up with friends. Then Saturday we got to go eat at Hillary's moms house. She fixed all this wonderful food that my baby loved. Then we went over to Resa's to play with Addison cause she is getting so big and is so much fun these days. Then we all got ready and went to the Marriot in Spartanburg for the Reunion. We had so much fun! We got to see people that we haven't seen in 10 years and had a wonderful time. Below are some pictures from the weekend.

Baby Golob

I graduated from Converse with my masters degree on August 2nd of this year. But the big news that we got that week was that we were going to be parents! I found out I was pregnant on July 25th! So our adventure began that we had not expected to happen so soon. Daniel and I went for our ultra sound at 12 weeks and we were so excited to see our baby moving all over the place. It was such a special day for us to see this little baby that we created together out of love. Here are some pictures from our first ultra sound!

We are very blessed to show off our new baby! We find out if its a boy or a girl on November 4th! We are so ready for election day to get here so that we can finally know if we are having a boy or a girl!

Also, here are a few pictures from my graduation from Converse...
