Gender Reveal

Thanks to Pinterest, we had the fun idea of doing a silly string gender reveal. Matt and I both truly thought this one was a girl, so we were insanely surprised during the ultrasound. I think we shocked several family members as well!

Maddax may or may not have had fun. Feel free to zoom in and see the double chin that big ole smile caused!

So thankful this girl will be home again when we have the baby to keep me company during 3am feedings. Sis, I promise to have a bed ready for you in the new house!

We are unbelievably excited to add another wild boy to the clan. I've always been one of the guys anyway, so this is perfectly fitting. Time to start designing the nursery!

When it rains it pours!

So the Akins household has been a bit chaotic lately. The saying "When it rains, it pours," is NO JOKE. Here's a snapshot of all that's been going on.


So we decided to put our house on the market and see what happened. Well, thanks to our fabulous realtor, TJ Mohler, we were under contract within 20 days! We are so excited and sad at the same time to say goodbye to our first home.

With a small fear of being homeless, we began to get serious about finding a new house. We had our eye on a house a couple of months back, but since we weren't really moving, we didn't act on it. Well now we're really moving so it was time to act on it! Here she is! We are so in love.



In addition to selling a house, and buying a house, Matt and I have both also started new jobs! I moved to Ivie and Associates. Matt is still with Arvest, but is now a Mortgage Lender in Fayetteville (go see him for all of your real estate financing!)

If you're still reading this, (thanks!) you're in for our biggest news of all. Save the date for New Years 2015 because baby Akins #2 is on the way!

So let's recap......new house, new jobs, and new baby, all in just a few weeks. Someday I'll sleep again, but for now life is AMAZING. We are so incredibly blessed and could not possibly be more thankful for all of these amazing life-changing events.

I'm terrible about blogging, but I'm going to try to be better as we update the new house. Stay tuned for pics
