{Happy Halloween}
Last week, my husband & I read up on some ideas to dress up as for Halloween since I'm 36 weeks pregnant & can't really fit into too many costumes. Here's what we came up with & wish you all a fun & safe Halloween! :D

Our Maternity Shoot
Here are just some of our maternity photos that I have fallen in love with!
{At Fairmount Park where we took our engagement photos in January 2010}
{At Crestmore Manor under the tree where we said "I DO"}
first comes love
then comes marriage
then comes little
LEVI
in the baby carriage
It was so much fun shooting our little family photos especially since we were able to go back to the exact same place where we said our vows a little over a year ago! :) Cortnie Dee did such an amazing job as always & I'm always impressed by her work! :) Thank you again!
I'm now 36 weeks pregnant & we are just counting down the days until our little man is here!
ADORABLE tree in nursery DONE! :D
I had this whole idea of what I wanted the nursery to look like when we found out we were going to have a little baby and it is definitely more than what I expected it to look like :)
My husband and I started with stenciling the tree on the wall, then we picked out the paint colors and my husband completed painting the tree in no time! It was then my turn to start cutting out leaves of different fabrics and using wire within them so they could be bendable and more "leaf like." Once I cut out what seemed to be hundreds of leaves, we attached them to the branches using little pieces of command strips. Then, I used a bunting that I created a while back
{here's the post where I created it---incl. DIY instructions!}
and I hung it from the tree over the crib where little Levi will dream :). I also created a little bird made of fabric to attach to the end of the bunting. I used wire inside of the bird as well so that it would "pop out" & then added a little bow tie to the baby bird. Finally, we hung up the nightlight birdhouse that Grandpa Spence made for Levi! I absolutely love it!! :)
Here is a preview to our little man's nursery!
(The entire nursery layout will also be up soon considering we only have a few more projects left to complete in his room)
Now it's time to hang up the curtains, arrange his baby books on the shelf, buy a pillow for the back of the rocking chair, and then we are about set! Only 4 weeks left until we get to see Levi's handsome little face!
{Have a beautiful day!}

Warm tea, good news, inspiration, & lovelies!
It's a beautiful Thursday morning and with a cup of warm chamomile tea by my side and some glorious motivation, I am ready to take on the day and share some news, inspiration, and lovelies!First, some good news which all happened yesterday! One, my sister in law got married!!! Yaaayyy! Congrats Kristin & Berto (who are currently on thier honeymoon).
& Two, I received my "official" acceptance letter to nursing school!
When I recieved the envelope, I was literally shaking while I was opening it! I have been praying really hard lately about what path the Lord has for me when it comes to schooling and since I applied last application process but didn't get in (due to some class units that I received at CBU and not VVC), I was very apprehensive to reading what the outcome was for this application letter. As soon as I saw CONGRATULATIONS I was relieved, excited and yet overwhelmed all at once with tears in my eyes! This must be confirmation from the Lord and I intend on making the most of it all! I start this spring with the 2 pre reqs I must complete (pharmacology :-/ & nursing assessment) before I can actually start "official" nursing school in the fall. I'm excited to be able to give our little family an even better future and although it's gonna be tough, God will find a way and this brings me much peace about it all! :)
{Now for some inspiration & lovelies I stumbled across this morning}
I absolutely love this quote :) I want to make something similar to this to add to my crafting room!
This would be my sanctuary!
