We are so excited to announce we are expecting a BABY on March 22nd 2011.
We found on on July 10th and it has been hard keeping a secret for sure!! :)
Patrick was gone this summer, and we have been praying and thinking about a family. We were praying to start a family sometime this fall or close to 1 year!, however God had bigger and better plans for us! We are blessed, nervous, excited and scared all at the same time!!
I had a 5 week appointment on June 22nd and an ultrasound! It was neat, although I couldn't see much, to see the sac and confirm I was actually pregnant. I honestly however didn't need the ultrasound to tell me, we took 5 tests and they were all positive, and by 5 weeks I was very sick and had EVERY symptom known to MAN!.. :)
We then moved the following weekend, and we told both of our parents at 6 weeks along! They were both so happy for us.. I knew me being sick and not lifting boxes etc, would mean the word would get out at least to them!!
We kept quiet though and didn't tell anyone else until our 8 week appointment on August 10th!
My mom and sister were in town, and the doctor called them both back into the room so they could see the Ultrasound! THEY were so EXCITED.. the baby was just a moving and waving! :) I was measuring about 2 days ahead of schedule, so we are thinking my due date changed from March 24th to the 22nd! I was officially 8 weeks that day! Baby's heartbeat was a strong one as well with 167!
We waited until the next day once we could get ahold of all family members and grandparents before posting it on fb! but I am glad it is officially out there now, and we don't have to keep quiet!!
`The Turners, now are 3~
My Mom and Sister and sweet Jadyn came to Fuquay to help us get unpacked and all moved in! I am so thankful and blessed to have had them here to help me!! They came in on Sunday night, and stayed until Wednesday morning! I loved!! having them here!
Jadyn was a mess and I loved playing with here!
They were a huge helped and got so much stuff put away in the house!!
Here are the pictures of our home and everything put together!!
So excited about our Home! We loaded the Uhaul on Thursday June 29th, 2010. It was a very hot day in Charleston, SC. But the truck got loaded in about four house, Patrick brought a coach with him from NC and Patrick's dad brought a man from Loris with him! All in all we are so thankful and grateful for these men to have helped us get loaded up and ready to move!!..
Then Patrick and I headed that night with a full truck and Jeep and sweet Princess with us, and headed to NC! :0
Friday morning we awoke very early, and headed to the final walk through of our home! 7am!.. Crazy I know, but we were so happy to have this done, and finally see the house :)
We didn't close that day until 4pm, in Raleigh! After some time signing our life away, we had our house keys and were HOME OWNERS!! YAY!!
We then headed back to Fuquay and got ready to unload the truck!... 1 of the other coaches and his dad came and Patrick's parents were here as well. Then one of his groomsmen JB and wife Brittany came and helped us until about 11pm that night!.. We thankful again for all of these people who helped us move in!!
We spent Saturday hanging blinds and unpacking, and then unpacking some more!
Have I mentioned WE LOVE OUR HOUSE!! :)

I am probably the worst at taking breaks from posting! I promise when more exciting things are happening I will do so on a more regular basis.
However, since my last blog, lets see what has been going on.
I have been packing up a storm, and for some reason escaping the summer heat, and taking a afternoon nap each day!! Simply amazing!! :)
I had a wonderful evening last Monday night with some great girlfriends of mine here in Charleston!
It was a much needed GIRLS NIGHT!.. we had taco salads, got to catch up and then watch the Bachelorette! Love that show!! :0
Oh Ali, you need to chose Chris, I really like him!!
Anyway, now I have been back to packing. Thursday night Blair Hodgens Spivey came over and helped me pack up some, which was such a blessing!! IT was a fun girls night as well, and we had chinese food!! The BEST :)
I was lazy this weekend sadly, but I am getting right back to work tonight and tomorrow night!
Tomorrow night (Tuesday) the girls from last Monday are coming over to help me finish packing! Which is a blessing beyond WORDS!!.. I will be getting some more boxes tomorrow, and hopefully be done!! very soon! :)
As for now... we are closing (still on time as of today) on the 30th, which is friday! 4 more days! AND BEST part my Husband and I get to see each other after 3 weeks apart on Thursday!! THANK YOU LORD!!

I just want to take a moment to say how thankful I am for God's blessings in our lives!! I know I have said it so many times, but we are so excited for our FUTURE and the plans that are unfolding, and how God is providing!!.. Any news now a days we find as Great news, as we look into our FUTURE!! May God always get our prayers of thanksgiving 100% of the time.. May I never stop thanking him and remembering where it is all coming from! I think from time to time we ask and ask for something, and then forget when we are BLESSED with AN AMAZING ANSWER, to go back and thank GOD for all He did for that request!!
I realized this today, for a request GOD answered for me on Sunday, that I needed to be more thankful to GOD Then I ever was to take this request to Him.. He didn't have to answer it, and because He did, we should thank Him 100 times more then we had in prayer asking!!
May you be thankful today for the small, and big things that God does for you in your LIFE!..

This is the longest time we are apart and have been since we have been married.. We had been apart for 3-4 days and then June 22-July 1st.. but this time it is killing me!
He left on July 5th and will not be home until July 28th :( .. I am not a fan of this either, but we know it has to be done. Today we still have 13 days left until he is back home!!!
Our plan is still to load the Uhaul on the early morning of the 29th, and head to NC that afternoon/evening! We pray we are signing on the 30th and moving in.. There could be a small delay of a couple of days, but we will keep you all posted!!
Packing has been delayed on my part, I need to honestly get with the game plan.. lol..
But all in all we are very excited and ready to move! I am more ready then anything to be back TOGETHER again!!
Meanwhile, Patrick is getting back into the grove in NC and loving it! He has all his coaches, and even though that has been a challenge and he didn't get a few he really wanted, we know God has a plan for this staff and team!
Please pray that they will all come together, and that God will use, Patrick and all the coaches this season as they coach and lead this Trojan football team!!
Until the Season officially begins, which is on August 20th vs. Apex (at Apex) , he is busy getting orders of supplies in, mowing, watering the fields, overseeing all the practices each day, work outs and trying to get the house stuff taken care off. I am so blessed to have him as a husband and so thankful for all he is doing for us, until I get there!!

This past weekend was a busy, but fun weekend in GA. It was the 21st year of my Dad's bible conference in St. Simons Island GA. I left work on Friday around 12, and got to GA around 3:15pm!.. I was so excited to see my family and sweet Jadyn!!
Like I said it was SUPER busy, with 3 preachers Friday night, 3 preachers Saturday morning, and then Drama Saturday night and my dad preached Sunday morning!! But all in all it was a wonderful time!!
Little Jadyn, Bryan and my sister and I went to the outlets Saturday afternoon, which was a lot of fun!!
Sweet Jadyn is all over the place, and the happiest little baby ever. She has started to say my name, and is calling me Essie!! I LOVE IT.. I told that sweet baby she can call me whatever she wants to!!
I headed back on Sunday afternoon, following my parents as they headed to week #2 of camp in TN. Casey Slagle road with me some of the way, I have missed our friendship and was so happy to see her and get to hang out!!
Princess was very glad to see her mommy too!! (she stayed with Snuggles, and some friends of ours in our newlywed class!)
All in all it was a wonderful weekend!!
