Meet My Friend, Jessica

Welcome viewers from Kelly's Korner!  Today she is hosting Singles Friday.  I haven't been updating my blog much (okay this is my first post in a year!), but I wanted to take the opportunity to post about one of my best friends, Jessica.

 Well, first things first.  Jessica was my "random roommate" in college at Marshall University in Huntington, WV.  We were assigned to each other and never met each other till our first day during freshmen year.  I honestly could not have asked for a better first roommate!  She is one of the kindest people I know!

Jessica grew up in a small town in West Virginia near Pittsburgh.  She is 28 years old and currently lives in Pittsburg, PA.  She is in management for a retail store.  Along with being a kind person, Jessica is also a very hard worker.  She believes in what she does and works hard to get the job done.

Even though we have not been roommates since 2004, Jessica and I have stayed in great touch, a lot of times with weekly phone calls.  She is even helped me in a bind when she has had a few days off and drove over 4 and a half hours to watch my daughter for a few days!  Speaking of kids, she is wonderful with them!  She has 2 nieces and 2 nephews and then an adopted niece which would be my daughter as we call her "Aunt Jess" in my house!

Jessica is such a good person inside and out.  She is a family person and will do whatever to help someone.  She is very outgoing and loves sports, especially watching the Pittsburgh Steelers.

I wasn’t going to tell Jessica about this post.  However, to have a clear conscious I decided to go ahead and ask her if it would be okay.  Lucky for me she was all for it and  probably just secretly praying that I said nice things (of course I would as there is nothing unkind to say)!  I (well we) would love to hear from you.  You can also reach me at jennahoward08@gmail.com.

Time for the Holidays!

A week ago Jeff and I had maternity pictures taken!  One thing I wanted to do with the pictures is to use one of them for a Christmas card since our little girl won't be here until right before Christmas.  When looking at places to order cards, Shutterfuly is a natural choice.  I have always had good luck with Shutterfly and you can't beat the prices and promotions either!

I love their Christmas cards!  Their flat stationery cards are my favorite.  I am considering one of the three following for my Chirstmas cards this year.



After our little one gets here I know I will be ordering a lot more things.  I am already looking into having some of her newborn pictures done on canvas.  I am also planning on ordering birth annoucements from Shutterfly.  And I am already thinking ahead to next year and thinking that calendars will be perfect gifts for the grandparents.

In the past I have done memory books and calendars with our wedding pictures and also ordered many prints.  The quality and service is always excellent.  Now I am just waiting for my proofs for my maternity pictures to come back so I can order my Christmas cards!

And if you are a blogger you can also get in on this awesome deal and get 50 photo Chirstmas cards for free! 

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Quick Hi

Justing popping in to say hi!  I have been a HORRIBLE blogger!!  I do have pictures of my weekly bump that I do need to post and will do hopefully soon.  Things have just been crazy busy my way at home and work.  And when I do have a chance to do something when I am home the last thing I usually want to do is open up a computer! 

But the newest news this ways is that we will find out of the sex of the little one on THURSDAY morning!!  I am so excited!  I am hoping they are not modest and will show everything that God gave them!  I still think it is a boy while my husband is positive it is a girl!  We shall see who is right!  What do you think?

I will be back to updating soon, hopefully!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!  Ours has been great.  Jeff and I had dinner with some friends on Friday.  We went to Olive Garden and I don't think I have laughed so hard in a long time!  We had such a great time.  We also went to get ice cream at my favorite local place!

Saturday Jeff and I decided that we would replace some doors in our house.  We decided to put a solid door to replace the hollow door that leads from the house to the garage.  This was Jeff's first experience hanging a door with the frame and he did a great job!  We also replaced the bi-fold doors that lead to our laundry area and I painted them white.  These little updates look great!  Now we just have to paint the new door and replace a few more doors in our downstairs area and it will be complete!

We slept in a little today and the hubby made pancakes for breakfast and then we have been busy doing more around the house.  I touched up the doors I painted yesterday and have straightened up around the house and did several loads of laundry.  Jeff has worked in the garage cleaning it up and organizing stuff for a yard sale we are having in a couple of weeks.  Yay for me finally having energy to do something again!!

We have tried to get a good bit done this weekend because we will be gone two of the next three weekends, however, the one we will be here we have a lot on the schedule.  We are slowing checking things off the list that I would like to finish before the baby arrives because I know time will be limited after that.

Speaking of the baby I think I have finalized baby bedding choices for both a boy and girl.  This was a hard task for me because I am so indecisive with stuff like that sometimes, but  I guess I could still change my mind!  But I am pretty happy with my two choices!  We also measured the baby's room this weekend trying to layout where all the furniture would go and talked about the things we want to change in the room.   I am getting more and more excited each day!  I am also growing by the day and starting to look pregnant instead of looking like I just ate one or twenty too many desserts!

I will have a baby post up soon with this weeks and last weeks pictures since I didn't post last week.

Hope everyone enjoys the remaining of their weekend!

Nursery Furniture

So I have looked and looked for nursery furniture that I liked.  I will be the first to admit I struggled to find something and this is probably due to the fact that I am picky.  I wanted something that was durable, good quality, would last a long time, will grow with the child and at the same time was affordable.  Of course I wanted all these criteria met while at a price I could afford!  It also didn't help that I had a picture in my mind for what I was looking for so I have been on the hunt to find something similar. 

Well I think I found it!  The brand is called Baby's Dream and the collection is Legendary.  I plan to order it in the espresso finish.

Crib that will convert to a toddler bed and full size bed

The next 2 pictures are really small!  This is the only pictures I could find that were individual and they get distorted if I make them bigger!

5 drawer dresser that will allow room as the child gets bigger (in espresso)

Single dresser that will be used as a changing table in the beginning (in espresso)

Here is a picture of everything together.  The single dresser will just not have the extra wooden piece on it.  We also plan to order the conversion kit and rails so we have them on hand as the child gets bigger and we have to convert the bed.

So what do you think?  I am going to continue looking but I am really leaning towards this set and if everything goes as planned we are going to make a trip (the store that found with the best price is about 2 hours from where we live) to order it at the end of July!
