Eeeks! It has been 9 months!

So my last post was in January when I said I would start blogging.  Ha!  Well, obviously I didn't.  But, maybe with baby Lee on the way and family and friends far away from us, I will keep them updated.  We will see :)

So here's my first baby post!

Baby Lee's room is in the process of being cleaned out but we have her bedding and furniture picked out!  Well, at least I think we have finalized our choices.

The top left picture is her black crib.  I didn't really want a black crib but after I saw the design of the room that I wanted, it HAD to be black.

The top right picture is her bedding.  It is bright green, gray and cream.  I am in love with it!  I ordered the fabric swatches the other day and can hardly wait until they get here.  Since I can't see it in person I wanted to make sure I really loved the fabric before I spent all of our hard earned money on bedding :)

The bottom left is her black dresser that I'm sure will be filled with tons of clothes, soft blankies and tons of other things!

The bottom right is her antique white changing table.  I know, I know, the rest of the furniture is black but again, the design of the room just made me do it!  And Lauryn (who knows a lot about design) said it was fine!

I can't wait for the pieces to come together.

And this is the design.  Of course it will be a different color than this green (although I do love it!) but I LOVE the black tree with the initials hanging down and the cream colored changer with the black mirror over it.  And hopefully Lauryn will help me make all of this happen!  

So, these are my ideas as of right now and some time in the next few months you will hopefully get to see a finished nursery!

The end of a 2 week vacation....

A perk of being a teacher is getting 2 weeks at Christmas time to just CHILL.  I cannot begin to tell you how great this has been.  Watching movies in bed, sleeping in and not setting an alarm, spending time with friends and family and looking at facebook and twitter WAY more than I would if I were working!!  Oh yeah, and starting this blog! 


I'm not ready to go back yet.  Another two weeks sounds great!  But, reality sets in and tomorrow I will once again set my alarm for an hour that I have yet to see during this break.


So, I'm going to put a smile on my face and ask for joy in my heart as I venture off to school tomorrow!


You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with JOY in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.  Psalm 16:11 NIV

2011 is almost here!!...I guess it's time to start blogging!

I love that a new year means new beginnings.  Don't judge me because I am just now getting a blog.  Number 1...I don't really like to write and Number 2...I always start things that sound like a great idea and then never finish them.  So, my new beginning is starting this blog...and hopefully this won't be my first and last post! Ha!


I absolutely love reading other peoples blogs because I find them interesting.  I guess I have never started a blog because I find it really hard to believe that someone would find my life interesting!  But I do know this...Life is just a vapor!  We were not created to just live day in and day out doing the same old thing, talking to the same friends, eating the same food, waking up and going to sleep at the same time, etc.  You get the point!


A vapor disappears quickly...so LIVE like it in 2011!!!




Oh..and I need major help making this blog look a lot cuter! Volunteers welcome at any time! :)
