Move, Toss or Garage Sale

In the midst of all of our packing, I have been asking myself this question alot.
Do I want to move it? Should I just throw it away? Or should we garage sale it this weekend?
It's amazing that EVERYTHING can fit in one of these categories. It is also so fun to find things that each of us swear we didn't put in the attic, so its like going through all kinds of memories again.
This was the house that I bought when I was single (Just me and my Sebastian), wasn't dating anyone and nothing like that was on the horizon. Now I am married, with 3 dogs, about to celebrate my 2 year anniversary with a baby on the way. Life has just changed so much in the past few years and all of these changes have happened in my wonderful home. I know that I get to pass on this great home to someone else, I just hope that they will have as many great memories in that house as I did. From one stage onto the next... Ready or not here we come!

Corpus Shower

This past weekend our little Tidbit, Jocelyn, was celebrated by friends and family, near and far. My best friend from childhood, Katie Peters, flew in to surprise me and wow was I surprised. I had no idea she was coming in or that Jonathan had been planning to have her with us the entire weekend it was great!

So early Saturday morning, my mother in law and I ran off to squeeze in a quick pedicure and manicure and then off we went to the shower.

I was amazed at how much the girls did for my little girl. The house looked gorgeous, friends were smiling, food smelled amazing and the decorations were outstanding. I could not stop smiling, literally. I was just in awe in how much our little girl is already loved, prayed for and doted on before she has even made her arrival into the world. It was so great to be able to just hang out with my friends and just enjoy a great day! So thank you so much for all of you guys that were able to make it, I appreciate you so much and we are so excited, we can't believe that we are already 75 days away from her arrival :)

Baby Shower!!

This past week has been a whirlwind but oh so worth it. A while back my sweet friend Regan asked if she could come down the week before my Houston baby shower to spend some time with me. Perfect I thought, I haven't used my personal days, sick days or vaca, I had some time that I could take off. Then our auditors called and wanted to close books that week.... okay not a problem, Regan was okay with seeing me when she could! As luck would have it, the auditors left at Tues at 2pm, and Regan arrived at 5pm on Tuesday, My awesome boss gave me Weds and Thurs off so we had tons of time to spend together.... just being together. Her son Jack is the cutest little boy in the world and I learned about how scary and fun the roomba can be and that squash makes good hair conditioner :) We also went to a house that we are looking to purchase, did some measurements, counting of cabnits, pics etc. Friday rolled around and off we went to roadtrip it to Houston (Jonathan flew in after work on Friday). The ride was flawless, with a little 15 minute detour for a McDonalds that was "just off the highway" but thanks to the TomTom we met up perfectly with Regan's mom and I made it to my inlaws without getting lost. The weekend was a blur. but the shower was great. We had a little storm roll in but that didn't keep the guests away. Melanie and Kristin showed up early for a quick hello with Caden. Then my cousin who I haven't seen in who knows how long came as well, along with family and family friends. Then Regan and Stefanie (who I haven't seen in 6 years) came. So it was a mix of old and new friends, laughing, telling funny stories and having a great time. We were blessed with many great gifts, that I am sure Jocelyn will love and she will be well dressed for sure! So a big thanks to everyone, it was great seeing you this weekend and we had a blast!! Now I can't wait for next weekend!
