I married my best friend.
I had no clue then how much I’d love him even more today.
It seems like an eternity ago.
So much has changed.
So much to look forward to.
I’m so blessed, so thankful, and very much aware of the treasure that he is.
for Jaxson to arrive. I can’t wait.
In the meantime, here’s the evolution of his room, starting with the planning process.
Nick can do anything!
I gave him this picture and drawing:
And he came up with this:
I love it!
Tanner got an early birthday present from Mommy & Daddy today: her very own reading chair! I’d wanted to buy her one for a long time, and I caught them on sale…so I just did it. Then the box came and I’d planned to put it up for her birthday, but why wait?!? She’d enjoy it NOW! 
She was so excited.
It’s very pink, and looks great in her very purple room.
She’s already broken it in! Homegirl LOVES to read. Pre-literacy skills…you know. 
It fits nicely with our collection of things that are apparently all hot pink and embroidered. (a reoccuring theme?)
It’s always fun to see what they think…
These are my favorite kinds of gifts.
Check out the petals to Katelynn’s flower she made me for Mother’s Day:
“My mom is crazy! Especially when she tries to impress my friends. (It never works.)” [Impress your friends? What?]
“She is best at technical activities.” [Haha translation: My mom is a nerd.] 
“She loves taking photos, cooking, rain, and watching Oprah and the Food Network.” [Accurate.]
Here’s a picture of me!
And Tanner made me a picture, too! I love anything with her hands and feet…soon they’ll be too big to fit on one page.
