1. On Wednesday I got to hang out with my old friends from Taylorsville. I LOVE hanging out with them. As I was sitting there listening to everyone talk it occurred to me that 3 of us are no longer even in the ward there. We've all moved on, but stayed close and I love that. It's nice to know that there are people who we have been with and who have been with us through the last few years. It's been about 4 years since we moved from that ward and I still feel like we're all so close. I love friends that I can hang out with, be myself with, and not be all self-conscious about how I parent, or how I look..... anyway. I just loved it. Thanks Sherry for inviting us.... we had a good time.
2. I finally got some of my crafts that I have been wanting to do, started. I made two cute little bracelets for our baby girl. They got the "cute" stamp of approval from Charity and Kelly and We're thinking we'll make some matching ones for them. I got the wooden letters to do the baby's name, mostly for practice, and then we will be doing Charity and Kelly's names as well. I thought if I did the decoupage that they would be able to do it and still make them look presentable. I love letting them do their own crafts, but most of them could not be used as real decorations in a real bedroom. And even though we don't have our own house yet, I decided I'm not going to let that stop me from decorating or creating decorations for when we do. It's just like a craving I have lately. I found the cutest blanket it in the world at Walmart today, with silk on one side, and furry soft material on the other..... I'm going to try to make one like it for our baby. It's been funny this time to get so into the "girlie things". I don't know if I was just oblivious to all this cute girl stuff when Charity and Kelly were coming, or if it didn't exist, or if I was just too poor to even think about it, but it's really fun to get into it. It helps that Charity and Kelly are so into with me :) It's been a lot of fun bonding thinking of things to make for her. She's going to be a very spoiled little girl.... that is for sure.
3. We got some fairly good news from Nate's work. They finally finished the arbitration for the new contract and announced the exciting news of how the pay raise will go. It wasn't exactly how we had pictured, but it is exciting to look forward to. Again something I have to be patient for, but you know how I am..... IMPATIENT!!! I am grateful to know that things will be really nice financially in the next few years.
4. I have had 2 days now where I have been able to keep my emotions in tact! I'm really excited about it :) Although, just saying that makes me feel like a crazy person since it really has been a while since I felt this way. Oh well :)
and 5. We got to go to the blessing of one of our new nephews on Sunday. Samuel Raymond Taylor. He is so cute!!! It was a neat blessing and I just LOVE to hear all the things that these little ones are blessed with. It's such a reminder of how important our calling as parents is. We have such a responsibility to raise these children up to love the Lord and keep his commandments. I love the blessing, but it is definitely a huge charge. I get excited to see how all these little ones will turn out :) Congrats Meg and Chris.... he is really adorable!!!
