So...let me tell you about our weekend.
I just finished reading my sister's blog about all the projects and crafts she's been doing on top of going to school AND being a mom AND expecting her second little girl very soon...and it made me think about all the projects I want to do and have started and haven't started.
Well, things have been put on hold for a bit, sadly. (like Caleb's quiet book, any sort of blanket for our little baby girl, these flash cards for Caleb, pictures, a video for my parents...and the list goes on)
Much of my time gets spent doing research and looking for either an apartment, a car, insurance, logistics about moving...etc, etc. So, this weekend it was exciting when we actually went to look at a car and liked it enough that we're in the process of having it inspected and buying it! It's nothing glamorous: a 2002 Ford Taurus. But it's in our budget. If we get it, I'll post some pictures...
Anyway, yesterdays was also Justin's birthday!!! We celebrated Friday (he got work off), Saturday, and Sunday. It was great. Friday we looked at the car and went to a boat/RV show that night with coupons. It was AWESOME!! WE looked at two boats...but went into EVERY RV. lol we're big fans and are excited for the "some day" when we can make that purchase! So much fun!
Saturday we kind of just chilled; I cooked breakfast, and we had planned to take pictures at TArget with a coupon, but were late so missed our appointment. It was nice to just relax and get things done around the house. Oh, we even opened the in-laws tent trailer in preparation for our trip to New York in a couple of weeks.
Sunday we had dinner and cake/pie with presents. I made a strawberry banana pie, mom made a chocolate bunt cake, and Justin's home teaching companion's family made a carrot cake for him! It was very yummy.
The BEST present of the weekend was Justin found his wedding band!!!! He lost it before Christmas when he threw a snowball at me during the first snow...and finally as the snow started to melt he could find it!! I cried. I was so excited! It was a huge blessing, and what a great day for him to find it!
On another side note, my husband sure knows how to make me feel special; make my life special. I have an unexplained affinity for St. Patrick's day; well, he bought me some beautiful, bright tulips and he and Caleb made me a card. So little, but so thoughtful. I loved it. :)
So, as you can see, my craft and other projects are not getting finished as quickly as I would like. *sigh* oh well. As long as I'm busy and can see progress...

What a great weekend! I'm so so glad. And aren't logistics time-sucking?? Very necessary but take so much time. You are good to have such a great attitude. Excited about all your upcoming adventures!!
LOL, chica, I think you are AMAZING! Don't worry about all those projects, the important things will get done. Hey, btw, we got your blocks! Gwen LOVES them! She calls them her "jingle blocks" and loves to dance around singing and shaking them, stack them up, point out all their colors, and set them up in Daddy-Mommy-Baby families. I think she thinks they are hers. She's going to have a shock when she has to share with her sister! :) Thank you sooooo much!!!! You should post THAT as a project successfully completed!!!
I'm feeling the same way lately. I want to make all these burp rags and a car seat canopy, but just haven't gotten it done yet. However, I'm trying to just have fun with Finn while I can give him my full attention. Can you believe you're going to have 2 kids? It sounds like you had an awesome weekend. Finding the ring is the coolest!
