Nesting

That's right it's true what they say every pregnant women goes through her nesting period. I've been doing some serious nesting these last few months. Cleaning closets out, purging old clothes and of course prepping the babies room. The one thing they don't mention is how tired you get from doing just a simple task. I find myself needing to take many breaks along the way. Luckily, my husband has been a huge help with everything.

One of the biggest accomplishments was changing a window seat my aunt had designed at age 16 into our changing table. Yes, this window seat has been in the family for many years, I actually had it in my room as a little girl. Luckily for us my grandma keeps everything and it was screaming to come back to Seattle for major makeover.

32 weeks and counting

I know it has been a few "seasons" since I posted anything but I have been busy. Between work, house, friends, and preparing to have a child blogging never makes the cut. Yes, that's right my husband and I are expecting our first child. A little boy!

More to come I promise.

Spring Bling

Last Saturday I attended a fun Stella & Dot trunk show, where I purchased this fun new ring. I think this will be the perfect accessory for the summer weddings I will be attending this year. This is my second ring from Stella & Dot and I don't know what I like better the rings or the cute little boxes they come in.

A New Couch

Birthday weekend has come and gone, but I still have one gift coming.

We finally did it! After much debate we purchased a couch for the living room. We have been eyeing this style of couch for years. The one thing that always held us up was the price. Luckily thru many lunches spent blog reading. I came across the couch guy. Fantastic service, made to order products and great prices. In two months the living will finaly get new seating.

Birthday Weekend

What a fun surprise to already have received a few birthday wishes in the mail. I was especially surprised to have received a birthday card from my grandmother two day's early. I love my Grandma Betty but she is notorious for getting cards into the mail a few days past the celebration date. I was especially touched that see sent me a birthday card that was once my great great grandmothers.

We all think it is crazy that my grandma keeps everything from the past but really she is saving memories of our family's history. However, I think she can throw out the old church bulletins.

Thank you Grandma for the lovely birthday wishes!

Focus on the moment

Yeah it's Wednesday, and the week is almost over. I am looking forward to a weekend of entertaining my parents. For now I need to stay focused on my many work tasks that need to be completed between now and Friday.
If only this room was more than a small photo hanging next to my computer.

In need of a Spring Break

Apologies to the few people who read this blog. Life has been busy and blogging is always at the bottom of my to do list. I admire those who post daily.

This year is flying by and I am starting to miss the days when life came to a stop and you could take a "break". The option is still there but now it is planning in advance and requesting time off and knowing that upon your return you will be faced with that much more work to catch up on.

For now I will work planning 2011's beach break, because 2010 is all about the staycations!
