Last week was a whirlwind of baby shower fun, literally planned the whole thing in one week! Of course, my genius friend Ashley over at House of Lovelock helped me and she's insanely gifted when it comes to decorating (which I am not!). I can execute someone else's idea easily enough, but to come up with the "vision" myself, happens to me only once in a blue moon. It turned out beautiful for my sweet friend, she's having her first baby and it's a boy. We went with a rustic, whimsical theme and most of the decor came from our houses or yard (cheap!). Seriously in love with this theme for any type of shower, you can do so much with it!
That gives you a little bit of an idea how cute it was. Aren't the logs incredible?? I found these pictures online earlier in the week and died.
Like I said, I'm seriously in love... STUMPS... Who knew?!?!
Backtracking to a couple days before the shower happened, I got a phone call from Sky Mountain Charter and Josiah got in!!!! SO excited (and relieved)! It's a bit overwhelming at this point, figuring out what curriculum to use and all that, but I know it's also going to be a bit of trial and error at the beginning. Plus, I have a plethora of resources in all my lovely friends and neighbors who have all been doing this for awhile & it's just going to be finding out what works for us. The Lord has led me this far and I trust He's not going to stop now. :) Josiah's in his last week and half of school and I can't believe after that I'll officially have a second grader and a kindergartner! It's crazy how much time is flying by and I'm thankful that for at least this year I'll be able to enjoy having all my boys at home and watching every minute of their brains develop. Yes. That sounded weird to me too..
The Bible College had their graduation on Thursday and my sweet friend, who is much like my little sister (I used to babysit her, her brother and cousins ever since I was 12 and she was 5) graduated & got engaged!! It was beautiful and sweet and she is marrying a terrific guy! Check out her STUNNER of a ring
She asked me to help coordinate her wedding and I couldn't be more thrilled! I love weddings, I love planning, and I love her. Spectacular combo.
So today I will be driving up to my hometown of Paradise with her and a couple other friends to see my wonderful family and do some wedding planning/dress shopping (Eeek! LOVE wedding dress shopping!). I apologize for the girly squeal, but it's the truth. I'm a total girl when it comes to this sort of thing...
Two of my nieces are graduating, one from high school, one from the 8th grade. Like I said before, time is flying by! It's strange, clearly remembering and being at the birth of someone and then seeing them graduate high school. Like, really strange. And I'll be seeing my sister Michelle, whom many of you have been praying for, after her accident last March. She is recovering well, but please continue to keep her and her girls in your prayers. There is a lot of emotional trauma that comes along with what happened and while it's hard to see her go through it and not be closer in distance, I have to trust the Lord is working and is going to comfort and heal her in every way. He is good.
P.S. You should check out my friend Ashley's blog, whom I linked earlier in this post. She's one of those wonderful people who blogs multiple times a week, and has really delightful taste in pretty much everything. Plus it's just fun and she has really cute kids.
