Where has the time gone? I cannot believe that it is already the end of January and in just 16 short weeks Baby Homan will be here!
At the beginning of January I went out to Phoenix, Arizona and Pasadena, California for the BCS National Championship! I was finally reunited with my roommates from college and met Megan's fiancé, Chris!
Sunday after we all arrived in Los Angeles we had a great brunch before taking a Hollywood homes tour! That evening I was able to sneak away and reunite with a wonderful family who I had not seen in years... we are talking since I was in 3rd grade! It was great to catch up with them. Hopefully, the next time we are all together my parents will be able to join and it won't be several years!

Game day finally arrived on Monday and we were out the door and in Pasadena before lunch! We were able to get a table at a great burger restaurant where we "tailgated" and watched ESPN before heading over to the stadium. I must say getting to and from the Rose Bowl is horrible! Maybe it was ten times worse because I am pregnant but it was rough!
We were able to get to stadium with an hour to spare before the tailgate party closed and everyone rushed to the gates! I was able to pick up a few souvenirs, almost pass out, and get the best "Rose Bowl Stadium" picture I could, before we went in!
Our seats were wonderful! I could not have asked for better seats. Thank you Chris! Who would have thought that I would be able to say that I sat on the 50 yard line, in the Rose Bowl, for the National Championship?!

The day after the game was a rest day before we all had to part ways and head back to reality. It was wonderful weekend and so thankful that I was able to be there!
Next up on my January calendar was a trip to Memphis! It had been way too long since I had seen my sister, brother in law, and nephew! We had a great time just running around town, going to Tucker's music class, and Julie's baby wearing class! Saturday afternoon we enjoyed lunch with an old friend, her husband, and sweet baby boy!

While in Memphis my parents sold their house! Guess what that means?! Ashley has another trip on her calendar! Thats right I am headed home in less than a week to help pack and say good bye to my home since I was in 6th grade!
As far as preparation for Baby Homan goes we removed the sleeper sofa from the office and the artwork has arrived for the nursery!I can't wait for our moms to come down mid- march so that we can paint and set up the nursery! It is starting to get real... especially when you can feel baby move and watch your stomach move along with him! Crazy!
Well that was my January in a nut shell! I am looking forward to a low-key February and heading to Savannah to see good friends!
