The Big Day

Well today is the big day, a teenager will grace our lives. I'm getting pretty excited about the prospect of having a girl in the home. I can't wait to post pictures of her room. I just finished sewing bedskirts for the 2 beds in there. This was my very first sewing project in over 20 years. I sewed minimally in high school and never became proficient in it. The lady at Walmart that was helping me get the material underestimated how much I would need so I couldn't make the skirts have ruffles on them, except for one of the beds and then just at the end. All I can say is that they looked better then they did, but I am not completely satisfied with the way they look. I am thankful that I attempted the project. The furniture I ordered won't be ready today, but should be ready by Monday. We are heading to Fla on Monday so I won't be able to get it until we get back.

We were going to start school next Tuesday or Wednesday but the Fla trip will interrupt that. It is probably for the best anyway, a vacation is a nice way for Amanda to hang out with the family and get comfortable.

So many things to say, but I really need to get moving. Thank you to all the people that commented and emailed me to encourage me on this venture. I look forward to sharing this journey with you.
