Random Thoughts

First...for anyone that gave suggestions on baby products, thanks so much! Now I just need to decide and find some good deals!

Second...nursery is coming along slowly but surely. I found a pattern for a cute owl pillow and it started the creative juices flowing. See below for a sneak peak of the finished pillow and fabrics I am using for room colors. I am currently working on bumpers, sheet, and crib blanket. My mom has been painting an adorable mural on the wall as well. Hopefully before the baby arrives the room will be done but it is coming so fast! With the holidays coming, time is flying by.



Third... I am extremely grateful for all our wonderful family and friends. Dan's school has been a big trial this semester. It's not worth going into all the details but so many things have happened that have been extremely difficult and even often unfair. Long story short, I am so grateful for all the wonderful support we have been given. So many people have helped out with a service project he had to complete this semester which has just shown us how much Heavenly Father is aware of us by sending family and friends our way to help with even just the small things. Once again, we feel so blessed for the support system we have.

Fourth... My brother is engaged!!!!!!!!!! He has been dating Kamille, a cute girl, who grew up in the same ward as us. We have known the family for a LONG time and I am really good friends with their older daughter. Anyways, we are very excited for him and love Kamille. She is a perfect fit for him. It seems weird that my younger (and only) sibling is getting married. Part of me thinks it is so crazy how quick it all happened and that he is so young...but then I remember I was younger and got engaged quicker than he did:) All I can say, is that it doesn't take the Black's long to fall in love! Dan and I are both extremely excited for the two of them.

I think that is about it for now....until next time!
