Nursery Shopping

In Feb after finding out we
were having TWINS I bought
the nursery bedding.
It's adorable with neutral colors,
beige, sage green, and brown.
I found a pretty blue color for
the walls and have slowly
collected small items for the room.

Yesterday though was a BIG Day.
Justin rented a U-Haul trailer
and Justin, Mom and I drove up to
Ikea in Tempe, AZ to shop.
It was literally just a trip for
that because we came straight home.

I have been planning this trip for a
while and even had a list of items
printed out of what we would have
to get while there.
So many things, but I wanted to
make sure we have enough storage.
And wanted to make sure what I get will
work with the room size and for us later
down the road as the babies grow.



We got their cribs, changing table,
shelves, high chairs, storage boxes
and a cute light fixture.
There was other odds and ends like
the teethers for the rails of the
cribs, bib cloths and more.
It was pricey, but to be honest it was
a better deal than going to Babies R US
to get a nursery set (meaning one crib
and the matching furniture) that more than
likely wouldn't fit into the room right.

It was nice little trip
and Justin was so helpful.
When he returned the trailer this morning
he even picked up the paint for the room.
He's one proud daddy!

He hopes to paint the room later this week.
And from there assemble the furniture.
I can then start my end of
making it all even prettier.

I'll be sure to post photos once it's done.

Vegas Baby!

Justin and I took a nice weekend trip
to Vegas for our 7th anniversary.
Oh my goodness 7 years of being married
and I still adore this handsome man.
We celebrated it Sunday, May 29th 2011.
Yes we drive each other crazy,
but we love each other even more.

I was wanting to go somewhere
anywhere and just have US time
before the babies come.
So we finally agreed on
Las Vegas for four days.
Justin did all the planning.
He's awesome!

We stayed at the Renaissance hotel next
to the convention center and were able
to take the Monorail to the strip.
We got caught the first night and were
talked into doing a walk through for a
time share the next morning.
We got show tickets for Legends in
Concert, Buffet Vouchers and $75 in
free play, a nice little bribe ;0).


Justin bought us passes that we were
able to use Saturday and Sunday.
With the passes we were able to go
to the top of the Eiffel tower in
the Paris Casino.
Act as mobsters (he was "the Cigar"
and I was "Doves") for the day.
That was an amazing interactive exhibit.
We saw the Atomic Testing Museum.
And did plenty more.


Justin wanted to see at least one
Cirque Du Soleil show while we were
there so we choose Mystere at Treasure
Island Hotel and Casino.
It was a beautiful show and the
artist are amazing and the music was
much too soothing. Haha.
I admit the music was beautiful and had
me sleepy, but the show was truly fantastic.


The weekend was full of walking and
seeing and being amazed with the city.
But the best thing was sharing the
time with Justin and being a couple.
Our last little trip alone
before a new chapter begins.
