More updates on life...

There seems to be so much going on I don't even remember to update on it. Ever since I got married and started using my cookware a lot, I have realized that I hated my nonstick cookware and wished I had gotten stainless steel instead. Well mom was going to get me new cookware for Christmas, and went into Bed Bath and Beyond and she started talking to one of the girls who works there... Well to make a long story short, she told mom that it doesn't matter how long it has been, if you have a receipt or not, and you don't have to have the original boxes and they will still return stuff that you don't like. So this weekend I brought all my cookware in and they took it back. They gave me full price for it and I got all new cookware. Not only did I get that, they let me use a 20% off coupon, they gave me a $175.00 dutch oven and a 50.00 gift card as part of a promotion they were running. Because there was a price difference in the cookware I got, I had even more money to spend, so I got the rug for Benjamin's room, a rounded shower curtain bar, a new shower curtain liner, a rice cooker (I can't cook rice for the life of me), and a storage container and still had 200.00 credit left to spend. AMAZING!! It completely made my day. So Bed Bath and Beyond has the best return policy EVER!

In my process of organizing Benjamin's room etc... I took a picture of all the diapers and wipes I have been given since being pregnant. I added up all the diapers and before he is born we are starting out with 1207 diapers and 1383 wipes! I would say we are stocked up! I am so grateful for all the generosity that people have poured on us recently. I also have the one picture I was able to get on my camera from my shower of the food table before my camera died.

The cute diaper cake that Joanna made

Tonight Brad and I had dinner with our neighbors (the Gibbs) and Danielle made this amazing sausage and wild rice casserole. It was so good! Anyway when we got over there this is how Danielle was cooking while taking care of Red Marshall it was just really cute with him in the baby bjorn and her wearing the apron around it.

This is just a picture of me and Red Marshall. He just rests on my belly.

Brad is doing very well with work and he is really enjoying it. The company is on the verge of expansion which is always good. Today Brad spent the day doing things around the house, like cleaning out the gutters and installing the new rounded curtain rod in the bathroom and cleaning out his car etc.. Things that need to get done around the house. He is getting really excited about Benjamin arriving and I can't wait to see him holding his new son. Well that is all for now. I am getting too tired to write more.. It is bed time for me!
