We've Started the Nursery!

I am so excited that the nursery is finally under construction!!! My mom and Janet drove down on Saturday to bring us the crib, dresser, and rocker and as soon as they drove up we unloaded and Shawn started putting the crib together. It is absolutely beautiful. Since we don't know if we are having a boy or girl, a lot of the decorating is going to have to wait until after but I am starting out with navy and white. If it is a boy, I will probably leave it navy and white and if it is a girl I will add some pink in. So far the crib and dresser are about all that is done. I still have to paint the rocker and decide on curtains and other decorations. I will keep updating as I add to. Thanks GranSan for the furniture!!

Shawn had no help and had the crib together in no time! Way to go Dad!


Are we really going to be parents?!


I love the white against the dark wood.

Baby Shower Fun

This past weekend Janet, Dondi and Shelly hosted a baby shower and brunch for me in Shreveport. It was such a perfect day spent with special people. So many of the people that I grew up around were there to help us celebrate this special time in our lives. They all played such a big part in my life growing up and I just pray that this little one will be as blessed as I was to be surrounded by such amazing Christian examples. Thank you Janet, Shelly, and Dondi for the special day and thank you to everyone who was there for all the gifts and special memories!

Dondi, Shelly, and Janet were so sweet to do this for me!

Whoa! Look at that profile!!!

I was so glad Robin was there(even if she didn't bring Nora :) !)

We obviously had a great time!

Look at what we got!! Wow, babies sure do need a lot of stuff!

Date Night

Shawn is such a sweetheart! He completely surprised me last night with tickets to Carrie Underwood!!!! He told me on Friday that I needed to be ready on Saturday by 5:30 but didn't tell me where we were going. On Saturday, he made it sound like plans had fallen through but that we would still go get something to eat. He kept saying that he definitely wanted to be home by 7:30 for the Texas/Texas Tech game. I was clueless. As we started driving down into Houston he said that we should do something else and started heading for Reliant. We saw signs on the way saying that the Home and Garden Show was there and he said that we might as well go look around-still clueless. As we pulled up to pay for parking, he handed me the tickets and my camera! I was blown away. He said that we needed to get as many date nights in as possible because come February it could be a little while before just the two of us get a night out again! Our seats were awesome-we were on the floor about 12 rows back from the stage and not very far from the runway. Little Big Town opened and Carrie was awesome! We had so much fun!

What did I do to deserve such an amazing husband?!

Little Big Town

Her voice is just as amazing in person

I didn't think it was possible, but I like her even more now!
