Exciting News!

I am SO excited!! My baby shower is in 2 weeks and guess who is coming to it?!! VERONICA!!! Can you believe it?! She is flying from CA to TX and staying 3 nights with me! WOO HOO!!!!!!

I am just overwhelmed with joy that she is going to be able to come and we will finally be able to meet! At first, I was a little anxious because y'all know I hate driving to Houston, but the Lord totally worked that out too when we discovered she could fly into the smaller Houston airport that is closer to my house, in an area that I drive often. I told Veronica that I would not let the enemy steal from me what the Lord intends to be a blessing, and this is such a blessing! Plus, poor Veronica has to drive 3 hours just to get to the airport and then another 3 hour flight, so I think the least I can do is drive 45 minutes to pick her up! Haha! That weekend is going to be so special, with all of my favorite people. Even my Dad, Stepmom, Stepsister, and her 2 little girls are coming in to spend the weekend with us!

It's going to be so much fun! And then my friend Julie is planning such a special day for my baby shower. I just feel so blessed! That weekend will be the 7 year anniversary of my mom's death and I am amazed at how much the Lord has changed my life since then. So many unexpected blessings.......a wonderful family, amazing friends, and a new baby on the way. It's so much more than I ever could have imagined or dreamed possible! If there's one thing my life represents, it's that there is always hope to be found in the Lord!

Morgan's cousin is expecting her first baby boy a week before Matthew is due, so I made her this shirt today. :) I'm making one soon for Matthew too, but his is going to be a black shirt and will say "Rock Me". Ha! I love baby stuff!!
I know I should quit buying stuff for Matthew, but I can't help myself! I found this little set today. It's hard to see because it's wrapped up in this gauze-like fabric, but it's a brown little onesie with a hat, socks, and pants. So sweet! I had to get it since it says "little brother"......I had to! Look how tiny the little socks are! Awwwwww!!!!!!!


So, that's my exciting news! We have so much going on these next few weeks, plus in October the girls have a weekend dance workshop thing that we're going to in Houston. Then, there's our annual Fall Festival and Halloween......and before we know it, Matthew's due date will be here! (Nov. 9th)

P.S. I'm pretty sure meeting Veronica was on my bucket list, so check! :)

Reading this post makes me so much more excited! I am so happy that I get to do this and that the Lord worked out every detail for both of us. I love your ideas of us doing a fun vid and for sure calling Momma! Today was seriously the best day ever after booking it "for real" and knowing that it's not just something we're talking about anymore, but something for real!

Can't wait to hug you in person and rub your sweet belly!

P.S. I love the little onesie and also the Rock Me idea!
