Catch Up

I know I promised to finish up the last few days of the grief project but I feel like it's complete. I felt like I shared what I needed to share and it felt really good to finally share Hadley's picture. :) So I thought I would just play catch up today and show you come cute pics of our girl :) This past Sunday at church was Pack the Pew...we were asked to bring friends and wear jersey's. Here is a quick picture I snapped of Briley and I before church.

I am LOVING my job by the way. I feel so blessed. I was a part of 3 children's baptism's and it was awesome. I can't tell you how grateful I feel to work for our church and watch children grow in their relationship with Christ. It's simply AMAZING. After church we went to celebrate my Grandaddy's (my Mom's Dad) birthday. I loved these pictures I caught of him and Briley!!

On Monday, Briley's preschool had a field trip to the Zoo so we had a Mommy/Daughter day. I enjoyed this time with her so much and she had a blast!!

Briley and some of her classmates :)

Isn't this baby rhino precious???

We are also in the process of doing a lot of redecorating and the first thing was to paint our living room and kitchen. Well...I LOVED how the kitchen color turned out but I'm not thrilled with the living room. Daniel said it will grow on me. I hope so :/ I'll post pictures when we have more decor up. Right now it's a mess...more on that later!!
Tomorrow night is craft night for the women at church. I hope to make something that looks like this...

I will make sure and post the result!! A week from today I'll be in the middle of a 12 hour long marathon of Twilight movies leading up to the last one. Yes I'm REALLY excited. Not necessarily about seeing the last one but I love spending that time with my sister-in-law and cousins (we did this when the 3rd one came out)!! There is also a group of good friends that will be there too so it should be a blast :) It's the last one so we gotta go out big with the marathon!!
Hope everyone has a fantastic Friday!! ~Melissa

Spring Break Randoms

This week has been so wonderful!! I have so enjoyed this time at home with Daniel and Briley...it was much needed!! After our zoo adventure on Monday, we have spent the week...

Giving ourselves pedicures

Doing crafts and playing dress up

Sending Daddy silly pictures

Working on our new bed...well Daniel has been working on it!!

Side note...for our five year anniversary next month, Daniel and I decided to redo our bedroom as our gift to each other. We knew that we wanted a new bed, new furniture, new mattress, paint on the walls, chair rail, etc. So we have bought the mattresses, Daniel is almost done with the bed (just needs to varnish it), then we can finish chair rail, paint, and Daniel can start building our furniture to match the bed. I also want a new bedspread, curtains, wall decor, etc. It's crazy how much time, work, money goes into redecorating ONE room. It will be worth it though!! Here is the color pallet I'm going for in the room and here is the inspiration we had for the bed.

I will keep you updated on our room progress. We are hoping to have the bed finished and the room painted by the end of the month. Then Daniel can start building the nightstands and dresser. Yes it would be a lot easier to go buy a bedroom set, but Daniel enjoys building it and I love that he built all of Briley's furniture and now ours. When we move later on he says he would like to build all the furniture for our house...we will see ;) Isn't he talented though? I think the bed looks so much like the picture!! He literally is my very own Handyman!!

While Daniel has been busy with the bed I have been organizing/cleaning. Here was one of my projects. Underneath my bathroom sink. I know you might think this would be the before picture but it's the after. We don't have a lot of storage and I wish I had taken a picture before...this looks 100 times better!! I still want to "pinterest" it up a bit with new baskets and labels but it will do for now.

I have also been working on some friends blogs...I LOVE designing headers!!

You may have noticed my new button on the side of my posts. I have decided to see if this is something I can pursue. Of course it's just in the beginning stages so I'm starting slowly by designing blogs for people I know and hopefully it will grow into something more. Their blog designs aren't completely finished but you can check out their headers here --->Sarah, Ashley. Plus you should follow them because they are amazing!! I also worked on a fellow teacher's photography blog...you can see that here. If you don't mind saying a prayer for me about this new venture I would appreciate it!!

I have also been busy researching ideas for a fabulous Minnie Mouse 3rd birthday that will take place in June for a certain little girl!! She has enjoyed "pinning" with me all week and looking at all things Minnie. Isn't this outfit adorable??

This morning we went and visited Briley's wonderful babysitter, Kristin, and got to meet sweet baby Daisy!! Briley LOVED holding her.

That is Daisy's big sister, Annabelle, and Briley's BFF!! We are so lucky to have such an amazing place for our sweet girl to go to when I am teaching.

Our sweet Briley is already a big sister in her heart but I can't wait for the day she will get to be a big sister here on earth!! She will be so good at it.

Wow...our spring break seems like it was exhausting but it really wasn't. Now I'm just waiting for Briley to wake up from her nap so we can start working on our surprises for Daniel's birthday tomorrow!!

Happy Friday!!
