Finally!!!

Finally it’s time! We can share with the world that we are expecting!  Well we may have procrastinated a bit, because in this picture I am 14 weeks pregnant. So here it is, our announcement! Hopefully this baby page is a place where we can share with you stories and pictures of us learning how to become parents. I think you might have a few good laughs if you stick around.

Really...

To post and not publish until this is real....

I'm still in disbelief; I never thought that test would say Pregnant!

I've never been the best secret keeper, writing a secret posts will be a great coping mechanism :-) Today is September 3^rd and 10 days ago, I found out I was pregnant! Were we trying, you ask? Not really. In fact, I was so confident I wasn’t pregnant I didn’t even tell Mikie I was taking a pregnancy test, ooopps.  We thought we would really start trying this fall, but surprises are good right? Now we are expecting a little miracle the first week in May. Right now we are 2 days shy of 6 weeks, and our first doctor’s appointment is on September 10^th (our two year anniversary).

So many emotions accompany this little surprise! After pure shock, and the ‘what have we done’ feeling went away, I felt truly blessed and excited! I quickly realized I need to give every piece of fear and anxiety up to the Lord and trust this is His plan for me. I know I will continually be battling these emotions and I know this will be a time that will grow me, change me, and  push me to become more like HIM. I’m excited and want to tell everyone! I will cautiously await the second trimester, and then I will publish this posts!

{DIY Fall Wreath}

I've not been very good at posting lately, with my Job switching to part time I'm excited to have more time for new projects and more posting! Here is the latest:

 

Ohh intsagram, how you make it so much easier to share my life with the rest of the world! Wish I would have used my 'nice' camera to take pictures of the process, but my phone is so much more convenient! 

After searching Pinterest  for a few days I finally found an easy, affordable wreath idea for the fall. I used two differently tutorials to help me figure out the details of making the basic French styled burlap wreath. Then I added a fall ribbon to make it a bit more festive! The 'fall ribbon' is easy to remove, so I'm planning on using this wreath for many different seasons with different embellishments! 

I bought all of my supplies from Michaels for under $25! 

You will need:
2 rolls of Burlap Ribbon
Festive Ribbon
Scissors
Floral Wire
Wire Wreath (If you get a larger size wreath you will need more burlap)
You will also need at least 2 hours to complete the eniter project :-)

Here are the tutorials I used : 'The Sassy Momma' & 'My Crazy Good Life'

These blogs have a ton a details and measurements, I found them very helpful! Ok, now go have fun making your wreath!
