In Two Weeks

Whew, we had a long but good weekend. Friday and most of Saturday were spent getting ready for a baby shower I hosted for a friend. I only got one picture during the shower and that was of the food...

Moving on to the title of this post - we're finishing the last room in our basement. Here's a before shot. Yikes!
Here's the basement bedroom filled with some of the stuff we had to move out of the room in preparation for painting the floor this week and the contractors to dry wall, etc. next week.
Another shot of the basement and the temporary home for the rest of the stuff...
The empty room! The wet spots are from us mopping to get ready to paint the floor. We're going to use the room as a work/craft/storage room and decided not to carpet the room for the time being. I cannot wait for it to be done, to have the house back in order, and have an awesome room to decorate and play in!

Prayer Request for a Friend

Hey guys, I have a huge prayer request. On Friday, a dear friend of mine learned that she has a brain aneurysm. This news is hard to swallow in and of itself but is made that much scarier as she is due with a precious baby girl in mid-December.

Will you all please say a special prayer for my friend, her baby girl, her family and the Doctors? THANK YOU!!!!

Dear Heavenly Father, Please place your healing hands on my friend and her baby girl. Please wrap your arms around her family and give them all peace and be with the Drs. and guide them in everything they do. Amen.

Labor Day '09

My college friends and I headed to NYC for our annual reunion. Jordan and Kelcey were amazing hosts and tour guides - they, along with Sarah G., even made "NYC Survival Kits" for all of us.

Here are a few highlights from the trip. We missed you Emily, Britt, Colleen, Katie, Sarah, Erika and Amanda!
