The Savage Family

We have been a little busy....

No excuses for my "time off" but we have been a little busy!!! If you have not heard, Baby Savage #2 will be here in less than a month (If I can make it that long). Julia is SO EXCITED about this baby in mommys tummy. We did not find out the sex of the baby but everyone has an opinion on what it is. I think this is a boy just bc I am carrying the baby different that I carried Julia. I feel the same, great pregnancy with no problems! Jay and Julia say it is a girl and Julia already picked out her name! Baby Gracie and she will not consider anything else!!!

So on top of preparing for the new Baby, we have put our house on the market, working a lot, and preparing for our big move to CALIFORNIA in just a few months! So I have a lot of catching up to do on here before the new baby gets here!

California here we come

It is official, we are moving to Santa Monica, CA the summer of 2012. Jay found out last week that he matched for a 1 year Sports Medicine fellowship in Santa Monica. That's 1818 miles away from Alabama, think we could have gone farther? We are so excited about the year in California. It will definitely be an adventure of trip of a lifetime..

This is where we will be.... Y'all come visit anytime!

Wedding weekend

Kelsey and Hamilton got married!! As many of you know, one of my best friends, Kelsey, got married March 26th in Mobile. What a great weekend! Kelsey was the most beautiful bride, it was the best wedding:) I don't even know where to start on our weekend, I guess I will start at the beginning. Thursday afternoon I decided I would try out a spray tan before the weekend. I went to this place close to my house that a person sprays you. I did it in December to do a "test run" and everything worked out great.... Well not this time. I went to tanning salon before I picked up Julia to head to Mobile. As soon as I got it done, Lexi attacks me wanting to lick me. I guess the spray tan taste good. If you have ever been spray tanned, you know that you can not get wet. AT.ALL!!!! So Lexi gets me in a couple VERY noticeable spots. Oh well, these things happen. Friday we celebrated Kelsey's Bridesmaids luncheon. What a great time we had! Kelsey's Aunts had the best lunch set up for us on their back patio. We had the best time sharing old stories of Kelsey and enjoying the really COOL weather.

After the lunch, I headed downtown to get Simon and my number for the Azalea Trail Run. That's right, the annual Smith Family Race. As many of you know, my brother Simon and I compete every yr in this 10K race (since I was in high school). The last 2 yrs we have been unable to race.... last yr Bailey and Amanda's wedding was in Natchez and the yr before that I was HUGE pregnant with Julia. We always have a good time, usually I win (tee hee). Friday night was the rehearsal dinner at Cafe Royal. We enjoyed a night of good food and toasting Kelsey and Hamilton.

The next morning was the big race. We were up VERY early!!! When we walked outside, it hit us like a ton of bricks. The 100% humidity and 70+ degree weather. Why is it so hot!! Yesterday was so cool....I'm not used to running in this kind of weather, I thought to myself. Oh well, its only 6 miles. After the first few miles of running, I look down to check my spray tan only to find that it is melting off me. I sweated my spray tan off!!! I could not believe it, my white shirt was completely brown. Those ladies did not tell me this could happen. I was too embarrassed to see anyone after the race. Of course we stayed and socialized for a couple hours after the race. Needless to say, my marathon running brother beat me so bad this year. I will get him next year:)

Here are some pictures of Julia at her good friend Blair's 3rd Birthday Party. He had a cowboy themed party with pony rides. Julia is a natural, don't you think???
