Almost Time 4 Baby

Hey Friends! I know its been awhile but here I am. 38 weeks into the pregnancy and so freaking excited! The nursey is complete and now we just await Zoey's arrival. Can't wait to meet her!! As I type this message, it hits me that I'm a mommy! So happy and proud. Well, I'll go rest now. Blog you later....

April Showers

I know its been awhile, but finally I got some time to blab about the new things going on. I started a new job back in hotel land 3 weeks ago. I'm Director of Sales for the Holiday Inn. Big change from the days at the Sheraton Birmingham, but wonderful and WHAT A TITLE , huh? In teh last few weeks J and I have traveled to Columbia, South Carolina to getaway and Atlanta to teh Aquarium. Fun stuff! Last but not least, we are expecting our first child together! So happy and excited we are. Also, a bit nervous and anxious. Can't believe that a little human is forming inside of me and its amazing. Thanking God for blessing and allowing us to be so fortunate.

Easter, is approaching and we are staying here in Augusta to get the house cleaned. We want to spruce up before we bring in the baby furniture..Fun! Lately, I'm always sleepy, so what I plan on doing is catching some naps in between and helping the hubs get ready for the newbie!

Next, week we plan on being back in Birmingham, mainly to see the family. Also, I wan to check out a few of my favorite places to eat and bring back treats for my new staff.

Well, I think I've babbled enough. Check ya soon!

5 Great Months

Mr. and Mrs. Windham are officially 5 months into married life. Learning, loving and overcoming. Never thought it would be easy. We knew it would be hard work. However, we are appreciative of all the small things. Like living under the same roof and lawfully. How splendid. I'm getting use to some of the habits J has that I never thought I would and he's getting use to my craziness. It works!

J is currently in school (online) and working and I'm working a part time. The part time gives me a life outside of the home that I can appreicate. We are enjoying our church and cooking more. Occassionally we will step out and see what Augusta has to offer, but for the most part we chill in. Also, we've joined a gym here (Omni) so that we can both stay in shape and healthy.

Now, we are suffering from a bit of cabin fever if you will. So plans to make some little roadtrips are in the making. I love home, but there is nothing like leaving for a bit and learning to appreciate it more.

Well, I'm about to finish dinner. We are having a Potato Bar (bake potatos with options of cheese, bacon bits, sour cream and butter) and a mixed green salad. Yummy.

Take care,
G Windham

Happy New Year

5 Days in and I just can't believe that its 2010 already! Life in 2009 was a great experience for certain. January 09, started with Jermaine heading for Arizona to train and me getting ready to head to my second sales conference in Toronto. February was filled with planning both our wedding and my 10 year class reunion. I got to run up to Atlanta for a much needed GIRL Trip with Channa in March. April and May were laid back on travels and more focused on planning. June was nice! Birthday in D.C. while visiting my BFF Danielle, followed by the return of my husband to Alabama and My 3 day, 10 year class reunion (fun)! Also, my work girlfriends took me to ATL for a fun filled weekend. Next, J gets stationed in Augusta, Georgia and July I'm again on a much needed Girls Trip to New Orleans (Essence Festival. August wrapped up planning which led to September 5th, the day we got MARRIED and September 6th we are headed to lovely Miami! November was spent with my family, leaving my place of employment of 7 years and a Birmingham (where I grew up)and relocating to Augusta, Georgia. We joined a very nice church family here, Destiny Worship Center and that ended November. December, I'm employed at a nice little part time and enjoying life as a newly wed.

Again, 5 days in and I can't believe its 2010, but I'm so thankful for it and can't wait to see what this year will be.
