Things I'm Excited For

There are a lot of things coming up that I am super duper excited for!

1. Thanksgiving!

Zach and I are going home on Tuesday and we cannot wait to escape the cold and see our families.

2. Baby Shower!

While we're home I'm having a baby shower at my house on Saturday at 10:00 am if you want to join us. I can't wait to start getting baby stuff and rearranging my house so that it will all fit somewhere. I'm still on the lookout for the perfect white crib. I really like these ones from babies R us.

Which one would you vote for?

3. The end of the semester.

While this semester has been really great I'm excited for it to be over. I've had amazing classes that have really pushed me and helped me grow and my professors have been awesome. But with the end of the semester comes christmas break, and a little later baby brough!

4. Christmas

6. And the last one that won't be here till next year is...

Homecoming

We had a bunch of fun this weekend at the Homecoming game. It was pretty chilly but we are true cougars now so we stayed and cheered on our team!! woo hoo!!

And we've been meaning to put up a belly picture for a while

so here ya go! Right now I feel like I just look kind of chubby

and not so pregnant, but give it a few weeks and hopefully

I'll stop making people feel awkward when they can't

tell if I'm prego or not.

Have a great week!

It's a Boy!!

Thought I should finally put up our babies first pictures.

We had soooo much fun at the ultrasound!

My favorite part was seeing the baby move and feeling it at the same time.

The picture above is the original and the picture below has

my drawings all over it to help explain.

And we are so excited that he's a HE!!!!

Our baby boy is already so cute. Can't wait to meet him in February.

Getting ready to Get Ready for Baby Brough

I love the look of this nursery I found on ohdeedoh.com through Pinterest. I think I'm going to try and go for light yellows and grey for the baby's room with accents of either blue or pink (to be decided in about a month, yay!).

But I wanted to show you the sweet rug in this room! The owner said it was a super special gift from an aunt or something and it's from, of course, Anthropologie. Which means it's gonna be way too expensive to put in a baby room, or any room of mine for that matter. Then I came across this other inspirational blog with the coolest project ever!!

Vintage Revivals has some seriously awesome stuff! And can you believe that she created this rug herself from two separate rugs?! I couldn't believe how great this rug turned out. So I'm hoping that maybe someday I can make my own rug patterned after the one above with the rug creating genius of the one below. Time will tell... Actually I guess D.I. will have to tell because that's probably where I'm going to get my rugs from.

So dang awesome.

Organized Clutter

Zach and I have recently decided that we're going to stay in this apartment for at least another semester sooooo I've decided to spruce some things up before school starts. Sometimes it can be really hard to make a boring, yellowy walled, student apartment look cute and feel like home, but here's one way that's super easy!! I've been seeing a lot of awesomely (?) organized bookshelves and wanted to try my own hand at it, and this is what I got. I actually Love it:)

I added the mirror and frame and flowers recently.

And we always had a clutter of books on top because

those are the ones we are currently reading so I just stacked them...

I know, I'm a genius to think that one up.

Then I gathered together the book that

had similar coloring and stacked those ones too.

I was surprised to see that I had any

that went together at all. I have to say that it

was way more fun than

putting similar heights together.

Then I found some fun nick knacks that I'm always

trying to stuff in some corner or side table

and placed them on top of my stacks.

(The wooden flowers we got on our honey moon to Costa Rica.

So glad to finally have a place for it:)

oh! And this little cup had my ring

in it when Zach proposed. :) Such a cutie.

Any way, thats my latest! And I didn't even have to go

out and buy ANYTHING! But I love how it turned out.

Hope others like it too.

Headbands and Pony Tails

So Zach and I don't really care what the baby is, but... we would looooooooove a little girl!! I really don't want to miss out on headbands and ponytails :( These headbands are so cute especially the bottom left. You can find these and more on Etsy.

This is Pretty Funny

Check out this Colbert Report. No matter how many times I watch it I always laugh. But if you don't like Mormon jokes then fair warning.
