Stars, Fresh Air, and Great Company

3 day weekends...what's not to love?! We spent our long (yet, not long enough) weekend in Mammoth Lakes, California. Ever since getting engaged there it has become one of our favorite places to be and try to make it there a couple times each year. AHHH, such fond memories! :)

This weekend we went camping at Sherwin Creek with my dear friend Whitney and her friend Erik. We all had a wonderful time; hiking, eating camp food (it always tastes better cooked in mountain air), laughing, swimming in chilly mountain lakes (not me...didn't want to freeze out baby), beating Richard at cards (which NEVER happens), reading, gasping for air (only me), and eating at a 4 star restaurant which is located in a gas station...yep, you heard that right! It was very relaxing weekend...one I won't soon forget!

P.S.--I am in the first picture; it just is very dark...guess we should have used a flash. Eventhough you can't really see me, the scenery is amazing! The last picture in my BSU garb is solely on this page so you can see my GIGANTIC belly and chubby face...can you believe what's happening to me?! Just don't look too closely at me, I have some strange face going on. Not a picture I will send in when I enter my first beauty pageant that's for certain. Lisa keeps telling me to take pictures for posterity. She wishes she had more; I will take her advice and hope that in 10 years, or even 2 days I don't regret posting it for you all to see! :)

The Nursery--Not as Hard As Names, But Close

Well, here it is...the fabric for Snap's room decor. I found the ABC material on a bumper pad and found some other fabric to compliment it...I hope it does! I really love all the fabrics. My only concern is that the ABC fabric is on a beigeish fabric and the rest is white. White goes with everything doesn't it?! Too late if it doesn't!

(Back story) I already had a complete crib set and then one day, (with the help of Lisa) I decided I couldn't do it for a neutral nursery. It just felt too girly with the mint green and yellow fabric. I thought bolder and brighter would be better, so, I went back to the drawing board and do feel much better about my current choice.

My husband was/is beginning to think I am going crazy over a silly room, as evidenced by questions posed to me similar to the following (no babe, they are probably not exactly what you said, but close): "How often do you think you will actual be in there?" "How many hours do you intend to spend in Snap's room?" "Do you really think Snap will care what colors you place he/she on to go to bed?" "Do you think if Snap is a boy he will hate us for using mint green and yellow?

Here's the jist of is...I just want to sit in the nursery before the baby's arrival and feel so happy with my creation! :) That's not too much for a new mommy to be to ask is it?!

Here are the curtains that Aunt Elizabeth already whipped up using the 2 main fabrics. She also made a dust rufle for the crib in the striped fabric. She even purchased all of the curtain rods and fixtures. All we need now are walls painted the correct color. They turned out VERY CUTE and Snap and I already feel so lucky to have her! Thanks Aunty! :)
