Thank goodness for father-in-laws!!!

Well I LOVE craigslist and I am a sucker for a "Sceamin' deal" so as I was "just checking" what they had for sale I saw this.......


an elliptical machine, hardly ever used for like nothing and then after a little haggling she sold it for a steal of a deal as long as we could pick it up tonight well that was the tricky part, it was in Finlay Washington (about 20 min from Darren's parents house) and well we are here in Moscow. So Darren called his Dad who was able to zip over and pick it up. Thanks Clint! You made me a very happy girl tonight. Im looking forward to getting on that as soon as I can after the baby is born.

Some things on mind...

Well I've been struggling to come up with something to post about for a while now, I had a baby shower at home that was AMAZING, thanks so much for all those involved with it I truly feel blessed that I have all of you....anyway Ive been waiting to post about it until I get some pictures which I forgot to get from my sister. So until another day Ill have to blog about something else. 

As I am approaching (4 Weeks!), having this baby I have SOOO many mixed emotions Im excited yet nervous, scared but oddly confident and sad but extremely happy. Its incredible! The nine months fly by so fast...at the beginning I was really wondering what the heck I was thinking even wanting to even have a baby. Im not really even a kid person and I have a lot to learn when it comes down to taking care of one, but after a lot of prayer and encouragement from my wonderful husband I have become okay with the fact I dont have to have all the answers now and my loving Heavenly Father wanted this for me right now. Im a firm believer that he does not give us trials that we can not handle. I am VERY excited to meet this little girl to see her, hold her and love her.  The nerves come in when I think about the world she has to come into and the challenges and heartache she will have to endure, but I am confident as long as I can follow the spirit and teach her well she is strong enough to overcome this world and all of it's imperfections. I am going to miss her movements inside me I feel so selfish because I feel her all the time and although it is getting VERY uncomfortable I dont want that feeling to go away.

I just think that Heavenly Father really knew what he was doing when he made our bodies and our emotions and I am so thankful he is trusting me with one of his daughters especially because he DOES know me and my shortcomings. Just a few more weeks and I'll have my little baby. Kloee will be here to meet the world and my life more then I can even dream will be changed forever.

Sorry this is all you get...my mind is just spinning and I needed to let some of it out!

It might be a sign of nesting....

Well lately we haven't been up to much so I've had a hard time figuring out something to post but this last weekend I got Darren to put my shelves up for me and it gave me a BRAND NEW craft room.  About the last week or so I've been having this big urge to organize, I've been dreaming up new and cost efficient ways to make our living space more functional. I'm not sure how much Darren has enjoyed this because it usually means a project for him to do. But he does an amazing job each time and I am a VERY happy girl.
