Friday turned out to be awesome for many reasons. I didn't work and it was wonderful. My left foot didn't swell up to my Barbie shoe foot and I felt great by 5pm that night. I got some stuff done around the house and wasn't exhausted. Although I was bored and quickly realized that working gives me a feeling of accomplishment each day. I know that once our baby is here I will be busy with him, but there is something about engaging in society that helps me feel like I'm pulling my weight in the world. I don't know any different yet so that is currently my feelings on not working.
Preston came home from work on Friday and had a beautiful arrangement of flowers for me! I wish I would have taken a picture now. They are red, yellow, and orange roses with fall leaves mixed in. They are still blooming and I will take a picture, just don't want to get up, take the picture then upload to my computer at this moment, etc. #lazyproblems He also wrote me a 2 page letter that brought tears to my eyes. Awww, it will go in the safe along with other mementos of our lives we keep safe. (birth certificates, savings bonds, wedding stuff, etc)
Oh' I almost forgot! We got the cutest backpack for our son from our friends in California. It is a perfect gift as when they had their first son in 2007 I got them a backpack. They still have it and their now youngest daughter still uses it. We got the backpack and Ashe was very interested in it so we slipped it on him. He didn't struggle or anything and then sat there as we took a picture. It was actually hard to get it off as he won't raise his arms!
Ashe in general has been so helpful and pleasant lately. Its like he knows that things are about to change. He even sat and helped me get Garth Brooks tickets on Friday. We saw Garth in Vegas so we feel like we have gotten our dose, but to see him in Tulsa would just be cool. I finally had to call Ticketmaster as I couldn't get anything online. I was able to get tickets, but only 2 vs the 4 which is what we were aiming for so we could go with friends. It's in January so we are hoping to make it a weekend with Granny and Gramps!
We also have gone by the house one more time as I'm not sure when we will get by there again in the next couple of weeks. They are now saying January for a close date which makes us sad. We really wanted to get this wrapped up in 2014. They have poured our driveway, painted the trim and installed the granite/tiles.

| This sink was a back and forth thing. Double or single...or double. We went with a big single and I'm pleased. |
 |
| Our backsplash. We got to design the tile behind the stovetop. We didn't like any of their staple options. The vent hood will go in the space above and of course the hole below is the stove top. |
 |
| Stone around the fire place. |
 |
| We forgot we picked out slate for the master bathroom so this was a surprise and a laugh. Luckily we like it! |
 |
| The floor is covered in paper, but it's the same slate as the shower tile. |
 |
| As if we don't have enough kitchen pictures.

Finally we got in our canvas pictures that I ordered of our maternity pictures in this weekend. They are 16x20. Right now they are above our mantel in the apartment, but will go in the hallway or baby's room at the new house. Another thing I was please with.
Well....this might be it! Next post might be of me showing a picture of our son and his long awaited name.
