Big Day!

So today was such a fun day. It started early this morning with my mom bringing my dad's truck over to my house so that we could go pick up the nursery furniture. Poor Chill having to do most of the work by himself. I know he was thinking my mom and I (mainly me) weren't much help as we tried to carry the heavy boxes into the house. The good news is, I can tell people I have my crib. (It is not put together, but it is in the house so that counts right?) After picking up the furniture I had to cruise over to a ward baby shower that Molly threw for me with the help of Ayesha and Micheal. It was so much fun. We had waffles, bagels, muffins, etc. played a game, and enjoyed each others company. I got some really cute things for the baby and can't wait to put them to good use. My mom also came with me and got to meet all the fun girls from my ward. It was fun to have my mom with me, plus she gave me some really cute clothes, a blanket, and a stuffed animal. Moms are the best! After the shower it was off to the mall for my mom and I. We made a stop at motherhood maternity and then we both had to get home to plan our lessons for Sunday. When I got home Chill was doing some plumging projects and there was a nasty odor in the house. I thought I really might die. I stayed in the house as long as I could and then told Chill we had to get out. We went to look for a washer and dryer, but the store we went to was closed :( We haven't had a washer and dryer for quite sometime due to some plumbing problems and so home repairs and remodels so I have been hauling my laundry to my parents house a few times a week I have been spoiled becasue my mom does my laundry for me. How pathetic am I... My mom still does my laundry! Since the store was closed it was off to Lowe's to get clothes rods for our closet. Now to all of you that might not seem exciting, but to me it was music to my ears when Chill said he'd hang the rods today. I have not had a closet for almost a year. My clothes have been in a room upstairs scattered all over the place. I was so happy and so excited to bring my clothes downstairs. I can't believe I am going to be able to get dressed right in the comfort of my own bedroom, it is so wonderful! We don't have doors yet for the closet, but it's all good. We'll get to that soon. Chill and I both organized our clothes in the closet and then called it a day. This was a big day for me and now I am exhausted and ready to go to bed!



Some of the cute girls from my ward. I forgot to take pictures during the shower so to those of you that were at the shower and not in this picture...I am really sorry. I was just having so much fun and forgot to get my camera out. Thanks again girls for the FUN TIME! (In the picture: Rebecca, Ayesha, Michael, Me, and Molly)


The cute gifts I received at the shower. I was so happy to see that they really do make cute stuff for boys. Blue is going to be my new favorite color that is for sure.


Chill hanging up the clothes rods. Who knew I could get so excited over something like this.

Here is our happy little closet with all our clothes in it. I can't tell you how wonderful it is to have my clothes downstairs again. The only problem is about 90% of them don't fit me right now!!!

With the amount of clothes that you own, I would be over the moon about clothes rods too!!! Now if only Chill could build you a shoe room....Next project?

Isn't it funny how little things like rods in closets can seem like such a luxury when you've had to go without?! I'm glad that your shower went so well!
I'm really hoping that we don't get a huge snow storm this Saturday so that I'll be able to make it to Logan for the family shower!!!

Hey Stef & Chill! So good to see you are doing so well. I feel like we haven't seen you FOREVER. I'm so glad everything is going good with the pregnancy and everything. Claudia told me about your site, so I thought I'd check it out. Keelee and I just started our own blogs too. At least it will be a good way to keep in touch!

Stef! Well hello! My goodness, I totally found your blog in a very round-about way :o)
I actually started a blog too, and then I got sucked into seeing everyone elses and I haven't really put much up on mine. Anyway, I just wanted to say you look FABULOUS. Seriously! You are due really soon aren't you? Have you decided on a name yet? I can't believe how fast time goes. But congrats again! I hope I will get to see your little one. Take care!
