He Finished It!

I've talked to a lot of people about how talented Travis is. Well, here is the proof. Travis has finished making the crib for our little baby boy. It is beautiful. Even more beautiful in person. It is also sturdy with both sides having the option to lower.The main parts of the crib are made out of cherry wood. (Travis wanted a very specific stain so the color would be perfect). The inlaid, darker wood is called Paduk, it is from Africa. It really adds a nice accent. And it only has a natural stain on it so it is naturally that red.Isn't he handsome next to his beautiful work of art?I finally broke down and took a picture of myselft. Here is my little basketball. My brother and sister-in-law said I really look like I just stuck a ball under my shirt. That makes me feel better and not so fat. This is exactly two weeks to my due date.

Three Years!

This past Monday, May 24th, was Trav and my third anniversary. I can't believe it's been that long. I still kind of feel like we are newlyweds. Fortunately, Travis got the whole day off and we spent it together. Unfortunately, he was really sick and that is why he got the day off. He had a horrible cold/cough. Even more unfortunate, we didn't really do anything special for dinner because he couldn't taste anything. It gets better. Most unfortunately, he gave me the cold and now I'm sick too. So our anniversary wasn't spectacular but we were able to spend it together and we got some of the last minute baby needs taken care of too.

Even though our anniversary wasn't as celebrated as we've done in years past, I still want to take the opportunity to brag about my sweet hubby. I can't imagine anyone better. I'm a silly, overreacting, worried, perfectionist but Trav still loves me. He's always there to calm me down and hold me when I'm stressed. He is always the steady voice of reason. He is the hardest working person I know and yet he still comes home to take care of me on those particularly sickly pregnant days. He works two jobs to support us. He loves the gospel and is always willing to help anyone in need. I'm so grateful that he wanted to marry me. He loved me before I loved myself. If I hadn't met him over 8 years ago, I would not be the person I am today. So thank you, Travis. I love you to eternity and back!
