God is SO good.

Time has really been flying by the past couple weeks.
This week was my last week of work, it was quite bitter-sweet. 
  Next week Josh finishes up his finals and then will be working full time.
  I'm excited about the up and coming changes, our life is going to COMPLETELY change.

So this morning I sat down with a nice cup of tea, and decided to check my e-mail
before Mom came to get me in 30 min ( we were going to some yard sales ).
 Well, as i reached for my cup i managed to spill it ALL OVER my brand new macbook!
The screen turned black, I hurriedly set the computer on it's side to get off the tea.
OH my goodness, i was devastated! I hadn't even had my computer for a month,
 and I managed to ruin it in a matter of 2 seconds! Josh tried to console me, but I was just plain angry at myself for being so "dumb".
 Well, pretty soon Mom was at my front door. I didn't want to go anywhere, I was a complete emotional mess. I felt like I should go anyways so I climbed up the stairs and got ready. 

  On the way to the sale I was trying to relax and just forget about that morning. 
  We were going to the sale because Mom had read that they had nursery furniture,
 and she wanted to get me something. Once we were there I felt as if I had stumbled into a thrift store treasure chest!

 Here is a list of all the goodies we found today:

Vintage blue dresser with brass knobs: $10
Rocking chair with matching stool: $15 
White wooden crib: $40
Stroller car seat combo with two seat attachments : $25
Bumo style baby chair : $2
Blue porcelain vintage lamp: $2
White wooden bench/with open seat storage: $15

And yes, we bought it ALL! 
 My aunt bought me the rocking chair as a gift, I bought the wooden bench, and my
wonderful Mother bought me the rest. 
  I couldn't believe it we practically outfitted my whole nursery for under $110.00!
Once I got to work my manager also had a gift for me...It was an old wooden bassinet type bed with rockers that she wasn't using anymore. So now I have something to put Aribella when she first comes home!

Just when I thought my day couldn't get much better, I found out that my computer isn't broken and it works perfectly( other than the slightly sticky keys )! 

So yeah, God IS SO GOOD!!!! :D

A little something they call "Life"

 Last week Josh and I decided to look through all the old letters that we had written each other over the past six years. It seemed like an easy enough task. ( in my mind at least )

  I pulled out my nice leather box that i kept my letters in, all of which were neatly organized by date.
Then we got out his "box", an old cardboard box that had a pile of mix-matched letter in it.
 We spent the next 30 min or so trying to get all of his letters organized, It was a lot of fun.
   Over the past few days we have been taking turns reading. I'll read a letter that I wrote him, and he'll read the reply that he sent me. It's really neat to read the letters that we wrote for the other person, because we understand a lot about those letters that the other person might not have ever understood.

 On a more unpleasant note:
Last week I purchased a decorative light cover online for $10.00.
I paid through my pay pal account. Well, Paypal charged my old account
instead of the new one that I put in. My old account only had $6.00 in it.
Long story short, I payed the fee, the bank said they would then close my account.
I thought that my worries were over, hah, boy was I wrong. A couple days later
I recived a letter saying I now owe them $37.00 for another fee! It's all just one big
confusing mess.
  The lesson that I learned from all this : When you get married, and change bank accounts,
just close your other one right away, don't procrastinate or you'll end up paying $60.00 for something that was only $10.00.

A new Beginning

  Lately I've been really anxious to get to work on Bella's nursery.
I will be 32 weeks this Saturday, I can't believe how fast time has gone.
It seems like just yesterday that I was anxious to work on plans for my Wedding.
And now I've been married over 10 months!
  Bella's due date is June 21st, which is just a little over a week from Josh's and my 1 year anniversary.

 I'm looking forward to the many changes that are soon to come.
