Happy 3 years to us!

Jason & I celebrated our 3 year anniversary yesterday. I can't believe we have been married for 3 years already, time just flies by. Yesterday I thought about all the crazy things our wedding day held for us. Like Jason being sick in the sealing room and Aaron having to go get him Juice, the guy who was sealing us couldn't remember Jason's name and kept calling him Jeremy, Then the reception where only half the food showed up, we were missing a bridesmaid bouquet and we were still trying to finish taking pictures when the guest showed up. As many things went wrong that day there were also a lot of things that were perfect. The weather was absolutely beautiful, and I was sealed to my best friend.
I'm grateful to have such a wonderful husband who truly treats me like a queen. He's going to make such a wonderful Father!!

Baby Furniture

I'm happy to say that this weekend has been just what i needed. I don't feel to overly stressed anymore. I was finally able to ask my work about going part time and although my boss said she didn't think it would be an issue she has to take it up the chain. So here's hoping the big bosses approve it! There's one thing to check off the list.

OK, the really exciting thing that happened to me yesterday....I bought the baby furniture. USA Baby was having a sale of up to 70% off. I wanted to get there really early so I could get in on all the good deals before they were gone. I got there 10 minutes after they opened and 3 crib sets were all ready sold!!! Lucky for me I found a beautiful set that was over 70% off. It came with the crib and rails to turn it into a toddler bed, a 6 drawer dresser, a 2 piece hutch, and a night stand. When I saw the price I couldn't pass up the deal. All that furniture retailed for $3000 and was marked down to $860.00. Lucky for us Jason's parents offered to pay half as our Christmas present. So I only had to pay just over $400 for all that furniture. It was a steal!!! I'm completely in love with the furniture, its just what i wanted. Plus it's one more thing that I can cross off my list of things-to-do. Now I just need to talk Jason into painting the nursery and putting up bead board. Hopefully we can start that next weekend, ha ha wishful thinking.

Stress

You know I usually don't get very stressed out about anything. In fact it sometimes drives my mom crazy because I usually have the attitude of "everything will work out, don't worry about it." Lately though I've been stressing over everything. There is so much to think about when you're pregnant. So many things that have to get done. Here's my list of stresses:

Work-Will they allow me to come back part time or I'm I going to have to come back full time and start looking for another job?
Daycare-What are we going to do with our little girl while we're at work? If I have to work full time can we afford day care?
Money- To many worries in this category to even list.
Nursery- I've cleaned out the room we're using for the nursery but we haven't painted or done anything.
Furniture-We haven't bought any furniture for her yet meaning, the crib, dresser, glider, etc is not bought nor have we even picked one out yet.
Odds & Ends- There is so many things that I need to do before she gets here, It's all starting to pile up. I am however accomplishing this list little by little.
Name- If you couldn't tell by the way I keep referring to our baby as "her" or "little girl" we haven't picked out a name for "her" yet. I know we have time and to be honest this is the least of my worries.

I know that, even though some of these things are out of my control, the Lord knows my heart, wants, and desires. I know I'm not the first one to feel this way and I'm definitely not alone. I'm trying my best to put all my trust in him and I know everything is going to work out. Its just stressful waiting for everything to fall into place.

Happy 30th!

Okay, So Jason's 30th Birthday was last Saturday, I'm a little late writing this post.

Jason had a pretty good 30th birthday. He went flying in the morning with his dad and that's pretty much all he wanted to do. We did go to outback steakhouse for dinner, Jason's choice. It was so good, I hadn't been there in a long time. Jason received a lot of nice presents, but didn't get the one thing he wanted, an airplane...good luck with that J.

I cant believe my husband is 30... wow! Anyway I'm so grateful for Jason and I'm glad that we had last Saturday to celebrate his life. I love you Jason!!! :)
