My New Project

So, you will probably think I am nuts, cause I am... but I have decided to make my babies room set, from the quilt to the dust ruffle to the diaper stacker and some throw pillows, wall hangings, etc. because the set I wanted was extremely outrageous. I spent 9 1/2 hours on Saturday looking for similar fabric and another couple of hours on Sunday online shopping for fabric and have come up with quite an array of projects. It will probably take me until 6 mos. after she arrives to finish, but I am going to give it a good go!

I am leaving for Texas on Thurday, returning on Sunday, and by mid-week next week, all my fabric should arrive and I will have a project to start on next weekend. This will be my "spare time" project. Ha ha! If my mom was closer, we would be done in about a day and a half, so I may have to fly her out in March if I am not done. :)

Will keep you updated. Have attached pictures of the desired ending. We will compare at a later date. LOL

Have a wonderful week.

Much love

Meet Little Bit...

Well hello!

Vince and I got to go see our acrobat again tonight and boy was she moving! She is very active. I took 4 sips of coke before our appointment and what usually takes 15 minutes took almost 45 minutes because she just wouldn't hold still long enough to see if she was a he or a she! Finally, after several attempts, the techs said they were pretty sure it is a girl. (They were confident enough that they gave me a "It's a Girl" keychain.) That will be the fifth little girl born into my husband's family and the first born into mine. My sisters both have little boys.

Just in case you can't tell, I am super excited and will probably lay awake thinking about her tonight because now it just feels so real that I just can't hardly stand to wait another 5 months. Whew, that seems like so long from now.

Talk soon!!!

Bama vs. Florida State

Hello All! Welcome to my blog. This is a first for me, so bear with me...

BTW- Shea has inspired me to create this blog b/c hers is so darn cute!

Since it is Saturday... my day is all about FOOTBALL... Can you tell?

I am up this Saturday morning in the peace and quiet just enjoying this alone time before the crowd. Today, we will be going to see Bama play Florida State. I have really grown to like (can't quite commit to loving it yet!) football since marrying my handsome husband over 2 years ago. The first football season was rough... he will attest to that, just ask him... but it has gotten to really be a routine for us. This year, I sit on the couch with a book in my hand, watch part of each game with him and read between times of lull... you know, a game where there is NO chance the other team will ever catch up! The first year, I sat on the couch with tears in my eyes b/c it (the quantity of football) was way too much, so this has become a happy medium!

But, this weekend is a special weekend. It is the first time that family has come to visit us and despite the fact that I haven't really cooked in the last 15 weeks, I made some dinner last night and we all had a nice evening. I retired early to bed so the boys could do "boy stuff" like watch "Shooter" and talk about video games and football! I can't cramp their style... you know how it is. Well, I better go find some breakfast and get moving. I will be sure to take some pics at the game so I can share with you another day.
