Casa De Gable is ours!!!

Today I am just so full of God’s Love!!! Yesterday at 3pm Gable and I bought our dream home. We went home got changed, grabbed some boxes and headed straight to our new place. It brought tears to my eyes as we stood in awe standing in the living room gazing at our new view.


Having our first drink on our new dock.


My sweet Momma brought over sparkeling grape juice to celebrate.

Closing Day!!!

Today is a very big day for Gable and I. We are closing on our first house! I am so thankful that the Lord has provided for us a beautiful home that we can bring our baby boy home to. He will have the Salt Life, lifestyle that we want him to be raised around. It will be bitter sweet leaving our condo, but I so look forward to more space and a yard! Here are some photo of the outside to hold you over. More to come!

WILW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today I am in such an odd mood! I have never been this busy before, but I am so carefree that it is scary! I am sure it has to do with several of these reasons….


Only 4 more months till I meet my little boy!!! Who sadly is still without a name. I think we are leaning towards Elijah James… what do you think?


We are closing on our dream house soon! Can’t wait to show y’all and give you the walk through, but until then I will give you the picture of my new view from the back yard!

One of my bestest friends is getting married this Saturday. I can’t believe the day is almost here!!! I have the next couple of days off work to help her with the last minute details. She is going to make an absolutely beautiful bride!!!!

My hubby is home for the Grooms Bachelor Extravaganza! They spent 4 fun days in the Keys. I am just so smitten by the guy. How can I not be with a face like his!



I really hope y'all are enjoying your week so far!

Random Ramblings

On this happiest of Tuesdays I have some randoms for you!

Looked at a house yesterday, LOVED the house, put an offer in and now waiting to hear from the seller.

Went to my best friends Bachelorette Trip this weekend. I was a little uncomfortable being the prego girl in a club.

I was DD this weekend and had to drive a minivan, now I am saying a small prayer that I never become a Minivan momma!

Bought a new brand of makeup remover wipes, got an allergic reaction from them. Now I have a puffy dark eye lids. This is not a good look on me!

I married the most handsome man in the world! I am just so smitten by him.

Starting the Registry process for Baby G (still no name for the little guy), can’t find any bedding that I am really excited about. I did find one from Pottery Barn Kids, but Gable is not a fan. Any ideas from y'all?

We have slowly started to pack up the Condo, and I have not decorated the house for any holidays. It looks so sad in there.

Lost another pound this weekend. Either this baby is boasting my metabolism up so that I am burning a crazy amount of calories, or the baby is a calorie burning machine. I don’t like the taste of junk food, and I am eating my fair share in a day. Not many people say that are at week 19 and are losing weight.

With the lack of sleep from this weekend, I am seriously considering crawling under my desk and sleeping.

Hope y'all are having a wonderful week!

What I'm Loving...

I am just full of LOVE today! Yesterday was such an amzing day and I will have to tell y'all about that later. But for now let me share some other loves I am having!


I am loving that my best friends bachelorette trip is this weekend! We are spending 3 days in Orlando. Dancing, Drinking (Non Acholic for me), shopping and just having the best time with the best girls!!!

I am in love with peppermint tea!
I am loving this new Essie nail polish I just bought! I don’t think I can ever buy another brand again. I just love how long Essie lasts and dries so fast.

I am loving my hubby and I am so proud of him. His company just had an article published about them being the top Marketing Company for what they do!

I am loving that we found out we are having a little boy!!! I will have a post for the Gender Reveal Party we hosted on Saturday.

I am loving that we get to register for all the things we are going to need for Baby G.

Our Love Story!




Happy Valentine's Day! In honor of this charming day, I thought I would share our love story for all of the other hopeless romantics out there like me! I am a sucker for a good love story and a happy ending

1. How long have you & your significant other been together?
We have been together for 9 years, and just celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary.

2. How did you meet?
We met at a church Youth Group. Gable and I have a 4 year age difference so we were never in the same bible study but we would always see each other at church/ group activities/ trips with the group. It wasn’t till my senior year of high school that I started liking him. We both are snowboarders and hung out with each other the entire Ski Trip. I just remember laughing so hard with him, he is such a gentleman! My parents were on the trip and wanted so badly for us to date. (Gable is literally the perfect guy to bring home to your family. My father loved him before I did!) A spark was lit between us on that trip, but it wasn’t till two weeks later that we went on our first date.

3. If married, how long have you been married?
We celebrated our 5th year Wedding Anniversary this past November.

4. If you are married, where did you get married? Big or small wedding?
We were married in St. Petersburg FL, in Gable’s momma’s church. We had about 165 people that attended. My parents through us a great party!

5. Do you have any nicknames that you call one another?
I call him Gable just about all of the time. And we also have an odd nickname for each other. He is my Host and I am his Rib. (Long story!)

6. Name 3 things that you love most about your honey.
Just 3 things…
-My husband is the most unselfish person on this planet. He would literally do anything for anyone, including giving the shirt off his back. My daddy always tells me the story of when he first met Gable. They (daddy and Gable) were team captains for a kickball game at the church. Daddy is very competitive and started picking the fastest most athletic guys for his team. And then he realized that Gable was picking the guys that would be normally picked last. He hated the idea of making someone feel not as valuable to the team. From that day on my daddy wanted me to marry Gable. That was 5 years before we started dating!
-Gable is very hard-working and would do anything to provide for me and our future family. He has grown so much in the past year with his job and I am so impressed with his strong work ethic.
-He has such a great since of humor. I can never stay mad at him, because he is always making me laugh.

7. Tell us how he proposed.
I think I will right this for another post.

8. Is he a flowers & teddy bear kind of guy for v-day or strawberries, champagne, & rose petals?
I would say neither. He would much rather give me a gift that I can use. I don’t think he really likes Valentine’s Day, but just celebrates it to please me.

9. Are you a sunset dinner on the beach kind of girl, or pop in a movie & relax on the couch?
I would say most of the time pop in a movie and relax, but I do love going to the beach and having dinner every now and then.

10. Tell us one thing you'd like to do with your significant other one day, if you could do anything or go anywhere?
I would love to go somewhere and stay in one of those private cabanas on the water. Go kayaking, hiking, bike riding, and just lay in the sun with my honey!

11. Tell us what you plan on doing this Valentine's Day.
For lunch my daddy is taking momma and me out to lunch. He is such a sweet daddy! And then for dinner I am making a Low Country Boil for Gable and myself!!!! I can’t wait it is going to be so yummy. Then we will probably cuddle on the couch and watch some TV.

12. Are you asking for anything this Valentine's Day?
I didn’t this year. I just told Gable I want him home from work early so I can spend some time with him.

13. Give us one piece of advice for keeping a relationship strong and full of love.
Keep the Lord in the center of your marriage!

14. Show us a picture of what love means to you.
