Birthday!

This past week we celebrated my birthday!  I had such a fun birthday!  For a few weeks now I have been mentioning that I wanted to put up a Christmas tree.  Last year we borrowed a mini tree from one of our friends, but I wanted a bigger one and one of our own.  A few days before my birthday Adam went out and bought a tree and set it up while I was at work.  I came home to a beautiful tree and two beautiful ornaments that I had said I liked.  It's a little early for Christmas, but I love seeing the tree every day!


Also for my birthday he framed a copy of my Grandma's funeral program.  I'd had it sitting on the shelf so I could see it, but he bought a nice frame and put it up on the wall.  A very sweet gift!

At school they had a party for me as well!  They got me this nice cake and sang happy birthday to me. We had a fun time!


Also, on my birthday, the girls in Adam's program threw us a surprise baby shower!  They wanted it to be a surprise for both of us, but finally decided to let me in on the planning.  They just happened to plan it for the night of my birthday.  Using my birthday as a decoy worked out well!  I told Adam I just wanted to go out to eat, but when we showed up at the restaurant nearly everyone in his program was there.  He was pretty surprised!  They were very sweet and bought our dinner and got us some very nice gifts.


Also, this was my last week of work!  No pictures to prove it, but now all I have to do is get ready for this baby to make its big debut!

Just waiting on the baby...

I have a very hard working husband who was chosen as a student ambassador for the college of health.  This week Adam went to one of the local high schools for a college fair and talked to high school students about the college of health and the speech pathology program.  He had a good time and looked nice too!



I stayed home, but Adam felt lonely taking a picture all by himself.

Also, this weekend was filled with all sorts of baby prep.  We attended a birth class at the hospital and some good friends threw me a baby shower!  I have some very sweet friends that did a great job of putting everything together.  The decorations were adorable, the food was delicious, and the company was wonderful!  I couldn't have asked for a better shower.



And of course, I got lots of wonderful gifts!  



But now we just need to find space for all our new goodies in our tiny little apartment!  It seems we've got everything we need except the baby.  Just 6 more weeks!
