Final Decisions . . .

So in the past couple of weeks I have been looking at strollers, car seats, furniture, diaper bags, pack-n-plays and more. These are hard decisions to make! We chose the furniture and to my luck one of the peices is discontinued so we had to choose again! So here is our new choice in chocolate. Once again not this bedding. Who knew fruntirue was going to be so difficult.

This is it. The End. I am not picking anymore furniture out. Hopefully will get this ordered in the next 2 weeks. I am so very ready to have it.

Next. I found the greatest diaper bag ever! I did not want anything that screamed "Hey look at me, I am a diaper bag!!" and I found it at Trends & Traditions: Shopping for a Cause - Spring Market in Shreveport. While I think the lady had her prices confused I got it for a great deal!

It is a Born Out Of Necessity calf-skin leather bag! It has a cold/hot compartment which is handy. This way when he is older it will still work as a bag for him and a purse for me. YAY!!

Last decision I have made is for his seat and stroller. I also wanted something basic, no designs and nothing to bold. I found this simple Chicco gray and black car seat, stroller and pack-n-play that I love. Very simple and the pack-n-play will be great for a #2 and so will the stroller.

Well that is it for now - life is just busy with work. But the weather is BEAUTIFUL!

American Idol ~ really??

So I swore thsi year I was not going to watch American Idol - I am pretty sure the last season I watched was the one that Carrie Underwood won. So needless to say it has been a while.

Well I am completely addicted. Sort of. I love DVR, one of the greatest inventions ever! I think this has a lot to do on why I am watching it this season, and the fact that Lance has class on Tuesday nights so this gives me something to watch while cooking. So with my handy dandy DVR I can skip all those commercials and fast forward through the people I never really cared for anyway! YAY.

My ultimate favorite (drum roll) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ADAM LAMBERT!

He ROCKS! Although I did not love what he did last night, liked it . . . but not my favorite last night.

Another Idol I also like is Danny. He did great last night! I also like Matt, well at least last night I did. I like Scott too but don't think he is good enough to win. We shall see. Go ADAM!

Simply Obsessed!

My new obsession with the Twilight series has taken over. I completed Twilight and am now halfway through New Moon. I normally read for a few hours in bed but had to take a break because I could not sleep. Yes! This book is taking over my brain, emotions and more. I think about it all through the night and any spare time I have I am wanting to read it. There have been parts when I no longer wanted to read it but I still continue! It just makes me so mad sometimes!!

I love to read - well when I can find a good book and a book with a series, well does not get any better than that!

Now the big decision is should I watch the first movie? I have heard so many mixed feelings about it so I just don't know what to do. Books are ALWAYS better than the movie so I just don't want the movie to ruin my mental images I already have in my mind. We shall see . . .

Hope you all have a great weekend.

As of lately. . .

So the past few weeks have been a little crazy with work, Lance's school and traveling. Lance and I went to New Orleans for the weekend (about 2 weeks ago) and had a great time! He had a meeting on Thursday morning so I slept in and read my addicting book Twilight. Which I might add I finished reading that weekend and now on to book 2. Thursday we went shopping in the quarter and on Magazine Street. Barnes racked up and got some really cute outfits!! That evening we went to Metarie and did a little shopping for Lance and then at dinner at P.F. Chengs! One of my all time favorite's! Friday we went back to Metarie, had some beignets, went to Maternity shops and no luck. We also went to another children's shop and got a few more things for Barnes! I have formed a sick obsession with buying clothes for him! Friday we ate Acme Oyster House for lunch and then went to the Riverwalk. After that it was time to rest. I never knew walking would make me so tired! That night we went and had a great dinner followed by the best slice of $10 cheesecake ever!! Every meal requires dessert now! Saturday morning we had more beignets and hit the road - headed home to see my babies!!

Since then work has been really busy and Lance has been busy too! Barnes' room is ready for furniture which we hope to order next week! Here is a picture of the bed, of course it is the wrong bedding! Lance's parents are so sweet to purchase the crib for us! My parents are having all the bedding made!! His bedding is something I never thought I would pick out but I love it!! It is 2 shades of blue, 2 shades of green and a taupe. That is where the stripes come in!

Below are the two matching pieces that we are going to puchase as well!

I cannot wait to have it all here and the bedding to be complete! Just to see it all together!

In the mean time, I think Lance needs a little uplifting! He is in school this semester and chose to take 2 classes. He leaves the house every morning by 4 ish and on Monday's does not return home until 8:30 and Tuesday and Thursday he returns home at 8:00. He is running thin and just needs to slow down but there is no time to just stop and take a break. With prayers and some sleep I think he will make it through this semester!

Hope everyone is having a great week!
