Well, I was sitting here tonight thinking about all the things I have to be thankful for! I have an amazing husband--I love him more than I can say. Tonight, I was taking a bath and he brought me in a new loofa that he picked up at Walmart today, and while I relaxed he folded laundry! Now thats a pretty amazing man--remembers that I needed a new loofa! What a guy!
I have an active baby boy growing inside of me!! I'm going to be a MAMA! I've wanted nothing more than to be a mom since I was a tiny girl.
I have awesome parents, a feisty brother, and the best in-laws. Also, I have lots of other loving family members. Family is everything!
I have the best friends anyone could ask for.
I have a warm, cozy house.
I have a job, and in this world today I couldn't be more thankful for that.
I am healthy and so are my loved ones.
Last, but certainly not least, I have a relationship with God.
Life is pretty amazing...thats A LOT to be thankful for!
I wish everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving!!
Love,
Mart

Snow, Snow, Snow
Happy Monday! :)
I'm very excited to blog about our crazy weekend! We went to Emmetsburg for a shower that my wonderful aunts and cousins were throwing for us! Unfortunately, Emmetsburg was hit with a very LARGE snow storm and we ended up getting 14 inches! The shower was scheduled for 9am but we postponed it until later in the day. It was such a nice shower...my Aunt Jan, cousin Heather and her daughters, along with my mom had decorated the basement of the bank so nicely. The sad part is we ended up having the shower in the pitch dark--the power went out! I opened gifts by the light of a book lamp my mom had in her purse. I just feel bad for all the hard work that was done. All my aunts baked muffins and my aunt Jan made four pans of egg bake! I just want them to know that I probably ate about eight muffins...and they were GOOD!
It was still such a nice day and some family made it, including Blair's mom and dad all the way from Creston. I'm just thankful that those who live far away didn't risk it! Some of us had a sleepover at Mom and Dad's and of course we had lots of yummy food to eat thanks to my dear mom! My poor dad was stuck moving snow ALL day!!
On Sunday, I was able to catch up with some close friends, Amy and Sara. We had a nice visit...it was much needed!
Later in the day Mom, my aunt Darlis, and I went to a craft show. My aunt Danita makes the most awesome homemade cards. We had to go check out her stand!
Blair and I are so thankful for all the nice gifts that people have given us for both showers. People are so generous! We truly appreciate all the kindness and hard work!
Baby Tay update:
-He's very active!! What a cool feeling...I'm falling in love with the little dude :) Can't wait to meet him!
-His room is beginning to come together. Grandma and Grandpa Taylor brought his bedroom set last Thursday and we're slowly getting organized.
-He supposedly weighs just over three lbs!! Big boy! :)
-Daddy and I are starting to call him by name and are working on a middle name! We might have to wait and finalize that when we meet him.

Busy, busy...
Ok--So I have lots to post about tonight! We've been busy starting to get ready for this little man to arrive. Tonight Blair is cleaning all the carpets on the whole main floor! On Thursday, Blair's parents are bringing the baby furniture and they are going to work on getting that put together! The baby's room is empty and all ready to go. Tonight I washed all the mop boards and washed all the walls!
My dad has been putting in numerous hours at our house! He's been finishing a spare bedroom in the basement! I took some pictures tonight but I think I'll wait and post the finished product, once it's all set up!
Here's our project from tonight:

Ok, What I'm most excited to post about is the shower that my wonderful sister-in-law hosted! It was so nice. It was the perfect size- just Blair's side of the family and some close family friends. My mom also came! We got lots and lots of great things.
