The Rest of Summer

Ok, June was a pretty relaxing month. Not much happened. Johnny and I took one last beach trip before I started rotations, but other than that, not much happened. Destin was fun....however, I couldn't enjoy the sushi like I normally do because of the pregnancy. But, thats ok......Ella is a tad more important. Other than the beach, we were pretty laid back. Here are more pictures....and I think I am caught up now. :)

oh, how I love Destin, FL

During July, I was locked away at Walgreens.....booooo. So, no trips, no pictures....not much of anything. July is when we found out that we are having a baby girl, but I haven't uploaded the sonogram pictures yet. I will though. I will post them sometime this weekend (I am going to do better than the past 4 months ha). August has been a fun month. I picked out Ella's furniture, Glenda offered us an antique wicker rocking chair (with a great cushion that I am going to have recovered), I started rotations at Jim Bain's Pharmacy, we took a trip to PickWick, and tomorrow we are going to Birmingham. Ella needs a trip to SAKs. :) So here are pictures from PickWick....hope you have enjoyed the updates!

May

May was a BUSY month at the Burk household. I had finals for school, Johnny and I were both in a wedding, we moved back to Tupelo and we went to the beach for our 2 year wedding anniversary! I am normally a picture fanatic. I honestly don't know anyone who takes more pictures than I do. However, since I got pregnant, I have not been snapping as many photos. I just do not feel like taking pictures, especially now that I am showing (and NO, I will NOT be posting any "belly" pics.....it creeps me out when people do that). But here are some pictures from the month of May...

April

Literally for months, I have been saying I am going to post pictures from the past few months, so here they are! My best friend, Kristen, got married April 17. It was a great weekend and everything was beautiful. Here are the pics!

House Progress

As I have posted previously, we have started our new house! We are so excited. We have been waiting for this day for a long time. Johnny and I had a precious house in Oxford and we actually miss it (not the closet space, or lack thereof), and we had an "ok" house in Jackson (it was just a rip off for the $), and now we are living in an apartment in Tupelo (which is super nice, actually nicer than our house in Jackson, but its just not "ours"). So, we are definitely thrilled to finally have a house of our own. We are building in Spring Lake and we think it will be a great neighborhood for Ella to grow up in. She can ride her bike to the clubhouse and tennis courts and we can swim in the pool during the summers (until we put our own in), and Max can even swim in all the lakes. Johnny and I are just really excited about the years to come. Here are some pictures of the lot before they cleared all the trees. We wanted to keep 1 of the 4 massive oak trees, however, they were smack in the middle of the lot, soooooo they had to go!

And here are pictures once my Dad's workers started knocking down trees.....

Excitement in the Burk Household

This summer has been pretty uneventful for the most part. However, we recently found out we are having a little princess, my stomach has decided it is time to "pop out", I am HALF WAY through my pregnancy, AND in other big news, we broke ground on our house!! YAY! We are so excited....the next few months will be crazy for many reasons:

1) preparing for Princess's arrival
2) building a house (yipeeeee)
3) finishing pharmacy school
4) Johnny starting his MBA
5) couple weekend trips
6) friend's wedding festivities

Hopefully Johnny and I will be able to keep our sanity through out it all. Should be interesting. And I swear, on my next post there WILL be pictures. :)
