Exciting Weekend!

What a busy weekend! So fun though, and we got a lot accomplished!
Friday night we went to a wine & cheese party. No worries, no drinking for this preggo, instead I feel asleep on AJ & Sarah's couch, so in reality I probably looked like a drunk. Why is it that when you're pregnant you always crave the things you can't have? I have been absolutely craving red wine and beer my entire pregnancy and have been caught on several occasions smelling Steve's alcoholic beverages. For now, just smelling them is good enough!

Saturday was girl's day....yea! Sarah S and I went to Milwaukee and did a bit of shopping. We walked around at Bayshore and had lunch at Bravo - it was so good to get away! While we were having a good time Steve and Nich stayed home and painted the baby's room and put the crib together. It looks really good and seriously filled my love tank to have this project taken care of.
Here's Steve prepping the room for paint:

And here's the finished product:

Sorry for the poor quality of the pics, I took them with my blackberry. I'm really happy with how the green turned out and now I can't wait to get to really decorating! Since the baby's room is kind of our storage room while Jessica is living in the basement, we're not really able to decorate or put to much away since there's a definite lack of space. Come June when she moves out though we'll be moving a lot of stuff back down to the basement and then the baby's room can really be a baby's room!

Sunday was another day full of accomplishment! I spent the entire afternoon working in our kitchen because pretty soon we're gonna have a new dishwasher! Yea! I am so excited! We never had a dishwasher in our last house, so having a dishwasher was a prerequisite with this house. Well, between buying a house while I didn't have a job and my husband was stuck in St. Louis and the stresses of life at the time we decided the dishwasher wasn't all that important after all. A year and a half later though I am finally getting my wish granted. Seriously, it sounds silly, but this ranks up there as almost as exciting as having a baby to me as I absolutely hate doing dishes! So, to make room for the dishwasher we're gonna have to get rid of a couple of drawers and lose some cupboard space, so that was my project for yesterday. I got rid of a lot of stuff and somehow found a home in other random places for the stuff in the cupboards and drawers that will soon be destroyed. I am overjoyed to give up this space though just to have an opportunity to be a little lazier with doing dishes in the long run. Jeff's coming over tomorrow to decide what he's going to need to do to get it installed (currently the dishwasher is sitting in its box in our living room) and then hopefully soon after that our dishes will be clean and my hands will be lazy! Yee haw!

Back to yesterday though, as exhausting as moving everything around was in the kitchen, I was so overjoyed to do it because I knew that eventually it would bring a lot of happiness into my life. Between the dishwasher and painted baby's room, I strangely feel so loved! We even got to top the evening off by having dinner with friends.
The weekend, although exhausting, couldn't have been more perfect!

PS...If you're still reading (which is doubtful, unless your my mom), sorry this is so long. Obviously, I'm a little bit overly excited about the dishwasher. I know the rest of you could probably care less about me cleaning out our kitchen drawers, but it's the little things like this in life that make me happy!
