August 2011

I know August isn't over yet but here is a bit of what has been going on the last couple days and the end of July.

So last week I went looking for cribs and the one I thought I wanted ended up being a cherry color so I kept looking to find a brown one. I then found the crib online for a crazy good deal. I told my mom and she didn't believe me that it was a new crib. It was going to take a few weeks to get here but figured it wasn't a big deal because we haven't got our house yet. Well we got an email 2 days ago saying it is being sent already so it should be here by the end of the week or Monday. I am actually really excited because I want to find a rocking chair and dresser that match. I decided against a changing table that matched because I have changed babies lots of times and have seen many changed and I know you don't hardly use them. I would rather use the money to get something else. So here is the crib I got:
I am so excited because it is a convertible one that is nice but nothing too fancy. Good heavens the baby is going to have a nicer room than us. Also at the price I got it, I couldn't pass it up. I asked Jake if we could put it up already but he said no. I was just joking but in a month or two we will be getting there. I am less than 3 months away from this baby coming. I also got the awesome pack n play that I wanted for crazy cheap too. It is a brand new style with the napper and changer on it which is usually 170 but I got it for 109 then I got a free umbrella stroller (19.99) and a $10 gift card back. I was pretty excited and it is super cute. No big pink flowers. We are trying to keep it all gender neutral (except the adorable clothes :)

Also, yesterday we went to the temple for my brother Jared's endowments. He is leaving for his mission the beginning of October to Washington D.C. South. I will be honest I am going to miss him so much. Jared is my little pal that I always laugh at and joke with and it will be really sad to see him go. Also he is going to miss the baby by 3 or 4 weeks. I know he will do an amazing job though. It was really nice to go with all the family last night. Afterwards, we went back and had ice cream at my in-laws.



Next weekend, I am taking a trip with the girls down to St. George and I couldn't be more excited. Jake decided he would try his guys weekend again at Millsite in Ferrin (it is a golf course and it got cancelled my last girls weekend because they had a scramble to show off their new 9 holes). Well he sent them an email yesterday and guess what?! They are having another scramble! Poor guy can't catch a break. It is this gold course in the middle of nowhere and he picks the two days that they have days he can't go. They are going to see what else they can do instead. We will see.

Well I think that is about it for right now. Hope everyone is having a fun summer!

I love the crib! I actually didn't use a changing table for my first, got given one for my second and LOVE it! I thought I would never use it but I use it all the time!!

I love the cherry color actually, and I would totally set it up as soon as her room gets settled with the new house. The less last minute stuff the better, and you never know. Continues to stay busy, have fun in St. George! :)

I am sure I would use a changer but we have on on the pack n play and I don't want to spend money on that. There are plenty of other things I have to buy besides that. Also we are not putting up the crib yet just because we are waiting on a home first. If it gets to crunch time and we are still here then we will.
