Nursery Progress!

So Matt and i are SO EXCITED that we are having a baby boy ♥ The ultrasound was an awesome experience and it was so cool to see our little guy moving around in there! Here are some pics from the ultrasound...sorry about the quality though..our scanner is a piece of junk old :0)

(Click pics for bigger image)

i can already tell that he's going to be handsome ♥

Its a boy...heres the proof ;0)

In fact, we are so excited about our new addition that weve been working on the nursery.. alot! Its not finished yet but i LOVE it so far! here is a nasty 'before' picture of the room...
and the much improved Afters!

Here is the crib we bought..

We installed a cool light fixture with a dimmer switch..so the baby wont be wide awake (blinded by light) when i come in to feed him at 2am..which i am stoked about :0)

I found this awesome/supernice changing table for only $60 on craigsligt...love it! P.S..im so glad i went with white furniture ♥

Some cute things. Note: that little bear was Matts when he was a baby :0)

I know a girl that makes these..now i am determined to learn how..SO cute ♥

i found these cute abc flash cards at target.com...

i ♥ sock monkeys ;0)

So that is our nursery progress..i think its coming along quite nicely :0) Now...all we need is a baby ♥

Our 'other' Thanksgiving!

SO Matt had to work on Thanksgiving day, but we didnt let that ruin the holiday! We had a little Thanksgiving dinner of our own at the Police Department and it was fabulous! Everyone brought something (kind of like a pot-luck) and Dave (one of the other officers) cooked up some delicious turkey and ham! Good times! Im glad that my husband works with such a great group of guys! I brought my camera but the card wasnt in it so...yeah, no pics unfortunately..BUT we did bring something home with us that day and it wasnt leftovers..........

...meet Penelope!
I know...were crazy..but isnt she just the cutest?! Shes such a sweetie and so fun to have around ♥

The End

3 Years

Three years ago, today...i married my best friend.

What a lucky girl i am to have such a wonderful husband who puts up with me loves me so much ;0) ♥ I look forward to a lifetime with my favorite person!
I love you Matt.

♥ Happy Anniversary ♥

White OR black?

SO, i am having a difficult time deciding on what color nursery furniture to get...we just painted the nursery a nice gender neutral aqua blue color and im not sure if i want to get white furniture or black furniture?! So a little help and suggestions here would be much appreciated! ;0)




I like white because our nursery is small and i think white furniture would make the room seem a little bigger however i also wonder if white stuff would get dirty super fast and be a pain to clean all.the.time. I am also a fan of classic black. I think it looks good and might be easier to keep clean as well but i dont want it to make the room seem smaller...which it may or may not do..anyways, if you have some imput on the subject i would love to hear it :0)

Baby Update!

SO i am a little over 3 months now and im feeling pretty good. Im officially past the first trimester and I think ive been pretty lucky with my pregnancy so far because im not sick all the time..i get sick sometimes but not enough to slow me down....that much anyway ;0) However, I must admit that while pregnant, its harder to find the energy or motivation to tackle the home improvement projects that need to be done around here..i guess Matt will have to do all the work ;0) jk So the doc said that i will be able to find out if we are having a boy or girl in a couple of weeks...we are SUPER excited about that! Alot of people keep telling me that 'you should wait and let it be a surprise' but.....wheres the fun in that?! It would be more like torture! Patience is definitely not one of my virtues :0) What do YOU think i will have? ;0) Anywho, i know we dont know what we are having yet, but ive been dying to start on the nursrey!!! I have found quite a few cute ideas online but cant quite decide...i might just combine a bunch of these cute ideas into one room :0)








Tell me which ideas you liked the best! ♥
