My Perfect Day...

So, I usually never blog this often, but today was probably one of the most perfect days ever! I have realized how much I love to make things, and the way it makes you feel when you make something, and it turns out so stinkin' cute!! This weekend was the last weekend I had completely off before the baby shower, so I was finishing some last minute projects so this week I can clean, and the following one, cook! It started out with a quick workout, and then off to do errands. I went to Michael's, Joann's, and last but not least Target. I just can't stay away! I bought all the supplies I needed to finish my projects, and Casey even bought me my very own sewing machine. (My night will continue being perfect by testing out the new toy.)

When I came home, Jamie happened to be on Skype, so I was able to talk to her for a little bit, which was awesome. Even though I never really saw her before, being in a different country sure does make you miss someone even more. After our conversation, I played with the puppies, and then began working on my crafts! I finished up the diaper cake and made a wreath for the welcome sign. (It is missing a B, but the package only came with one of each letter..weird.) Here are the final products...

After that, I attempted to finish our bedroom. We have one wall in our room, that was just a blank space. I really wanted those wall adhesives, but could never find one that really explained what I wanted on a bedroom wall. Finally, I decided I would make my own. Casey was a little skeptical, but why should he ever doubt my artsy skills!! I only made it through the first line, but it looks perfect. The whole saying is, "Laugh as much as you breathe, and love as long as you live." The second line will be underneath with love and live in bold. :)
Today was just so wonderful, I had to tell everyone about it. I guess there may be a stay at home mom somewhere inside of me. ;) Now, off to sewing!
Until next time...

Celebrating in Florida

This past week, I was lucky enough to make it down to Florida for a couple of key events. We found out David and Danielle will be welcoming a baby girl in December, and we celebrated Jamie's 21st birthday. It was so wonderful to all be together, but of course I missed Casey, who was unable to make it down. Someone had to work!
I took Jamie out to Durty Nelly's and met up with Laura, which brought back all sorts of memories. I know I'm not that old, but going back to a college town, and reliving some of those memories, sure does make you feel old! It seems like just yesterday we were all sitting the front row at Durty Nelly's singing along to "You're an Asshole," Casey and David getting into some argument about a lot of nothing, Danielle and I sipping on our Malibu and Pineapple Juice. This time, I was standing in the back, being Sober Cab for Jamie! I loved every second of it, but it sure does make you think about how your priorities change.Now, I am back home, placing some final planning on Beth's baby shower!! I can't wait to show you all pictures of the things we will be doing. Only two weeks! I love to host parties, so I am so excited for 50 people to be coming to my house, and celebrating such an exciting time in our friends' life. But before that festivity, my dear friend Jess will be celebrating a huge milestone! Hunter turns one! He is one of the cutest kids, and such a ball of energy, so we will be going over to her house, to help her celebrate her son's birthday. It seems like there is always so much to do, but not enough time. (So I wrote this before we went, but our computer with all the pictures wasn't working, so I had to wait to publish it. Here is an adorable picture of Hunter!)
Finally, Casey has been waiting for 7 months for this one....Gator football has begun!!! The attitude around the house has changed, so long as the Gator's live up to the expectations. We will be representing well up here in Minnesota, as I know everyone will be down in Florida.
Until next time...(The best ending to any blog I have realized..)
