The Final Steps

My interior design semester is coming to a close... let's just say, this semester has been somewhat interesting. As a part of the design program the senior class has been asked to create individual memory boards that represent them, their work and accomplishments throughout the past 4 years. There have been so many ups, downs, ins and outs.... overall I know this is a valley that God has taken me through.

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep....

The nursery is complete! It is so exciting, and just what I had pictured in my mind. Now all it needs is a sweet little baby to add the finishing touch.

All Wrapped Up

With only 4 weeks to go the nursery is just about complete... I ordered my glider chair last week and it should be here in just a few days. Jared will have fun putting that together. =) He has been such a good sport with all my hormonal imbalances and nursery DIY projects.

The baby shower was such a huge success and the gifts were wrapped so beautifully... I have this "thing" for wrapping paper and bows, and so I tried to think of a creative way to re-use them..... Here is what I came up with using a bit of hot glue and a wreath!

Just a little added bonus of my own....

Cake Pops & Pinwheels

Last weekend Celes and Mom gave me a shower of blessings... The theme for the day was "A Little Man is on His Way." There were chocolate mustaches and tissue pinwheels. The decorations were beautiful! Everyone enjoyed the cupcakes, cake pops, and chocolate covered strawberries. Mom had put together Kristina's Baby Shower Bingo which was lots of fun due to the misinterpretations of the rules -- lots of laughs. We celebrated at Mother Kay's (my 95 year old grandmother) house which was extra special to me and an event that I will truly treasure. She wasn't able to be with us that day, but we did go and visit her that evening and told her all about it. She is very excited to have a little boy join the family.
