The New Crib

I have such wonderful inlaws. Blake's mom has already gone out and bought us some cute girly stuff, and she has such wonderful taste in clothes! I'm excited to see what she bought. Blake's dad and stepmom have offered to buy us the baby room furniture! Wow! Thankfully (for them!) we don't need too much. Just the one piece. It's a crib/changin table combo. I've been looking for this online, however, nobody will send such a large item overseas. This was very dissapointing. We went into the furniture store on base yesterday, and to my GREAT surprise, there was my crib! The store on base never has anything in the way of cribs. We were just going to grab a catalog and see what they do for special ordering and what not. I could not believe how blessed we were at finding exactly what we were looking for, and for a hundred dollars cheaper! I went and picked it up today, and spent the afternoon putting it together. My thumb hurts now from the allen wrench, but oh how satisfying it is to do it! I am so thankful we found the crib, that Blake was okay buying it right then, for my inlaws who are so generous, for the energy to put the crib together today..just for everything!!

On a sad note...

Marcia's, Blake's stepmom, dad died this past Thursday. He had been suffering from Parkensons for the last few years, and a couple of weeks ago, he deteriorated quite rapidly. He was such a kind and loving man. Blake and I are sad to see him go, but know he is with God now. His suffering is over. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Marcia and her family.
