Hello dearest family! How are all of you? Has life changed at all since last week? Haha, probably not that much! We SO enjoyed seeing all of you last weekend and the week before that! It is always good to spend time with you and we're getting so excited for June meet all of you! I confess that I am super tired right now so this may not be the greatest post ever...but whatever! You can't win 'em all, right?
Ok, so March. March was a pretty crazy month in which Wes just seemed to work WAY TO MUCH! Not sure what happened there but I feel like March practically came and went without me seeing Wes at all! Of course, I am being super over dramatic but I know we both felt disappointed about the amount of time we had to spend apart last month! Not to mention how tired Wesley felt after working all those shifts! April is turning out to be better although his craziest week is coming up (say a little prayer for him, please)! We have a fun trip to Atlanta planned at the end of April so that's exciting. Haha, of course Wes has to attend a medical conference all day but we get the evenings together and the hotel paid for :)
So like I said, Wes worked like every other weekend in March so I really only have two "things" that we did that month. First was the resident retreat. We went to a lovely little place in Hendersonville, NC for some fun time with the residents. I confess that I actually just wanted to spend all of the time with Wes since I hadn't seen him very much the week before so we hid away for part of the weekend! Or I should say that we tried to do that...there were residents everywhere so we ended up seeing a lot of people no matter where we went! Here are some pictures from the weekend:
 |
| We went for a walk after breakfast and found this cute little lake. It was great to sit in the sun and talk for a while! Again, so great to catch up with one another since it had been a while. |
 |
| This is a BBQ place that Wes and I wanted to try (can't remember the name!) but unfortunately they only took cash (which bugs me A LOT in this day and age) and it was going to take just a long to go get cash as it would to go downtown and find another restaurant. So maybe someday we'll get to try this place! |
 |
| We ended up going to an old fashioned diner/soda shop place! Not the healthiest of choices but it was certainly delicious! I hate this picture of me but y'all are allowed to see it because you're family and you've all seen me look like that in the mornings anyway :) |
 |
| Me with some of the girls! |
 |
| Wes and me :) |
 |
| Playing "Catch Phrase" later that evening in the lodge. I did not play because I was not feeling well and because I just get so freaking tired of playing Catch Phrase....is anyone else burnt out on this game? Maybe it's just me... |
After that it was back to work as usual! The only other exciting thing that we did in March was make some progress toward a nursery! Wes and I painted the walls pink one weekend and then Libby helped Wes move furniture out and set up our new furniture! Check out the pictures:
 |
| Us before getting started on our painting job! We primed the walls first and then painted them! |
 |
| We're seriously ready to get this room painted!! |
 |
| Wes did all the trimming this time because I couldn't get up on the ladder! Nice job Wesley! |
 |
| Painting the walls pink! Yay! I can always use more pink in my life :) |
 |
| Finished product! We were really happy with the color! |
 |
| Libby, Me, and Wes getting ready to unpack and put together our nursery furniture! Wes had to borrow a truck from one of our friends and drive to Greenville to pick up the furniture! I was so happy to finally have it in our possession. |
 |
| First the crib! |
 |
| It was so wonderful having Libby there to help us! I was pretty useless...in fact I sat a chair, read the directions out loud, and handed them the necessary screws. So it was great that Libby was able to help Wes with the more "manual labor!" Thanks again Libs! |
 |
| It's coming along! |
 |
| Me modeling the new crib! What do y'all think? We were really happy when we found this crib as it is one that converts into a toddler bed and a full size bed but it's also fairly simple and doesn't have a huge headboard piece...I'm not a big fan of those! Simple is better... |
 |
| Wes giving our new stroller a whirl! We had just received it in the mail from Dad & Lynn two days prior! We were so excited! Thanks again Dad & Lynn! |
 |
| Getting the dresser out of the box was a bit more complicated! We had to actually cut the box open to move it out! Again, thank goodness we had Libby here to help us...it was super heavy! Funny moment was when Wes tried to walk around the dresser to leave the room but tripped on the box and fell over...haha, once the box was cut open it did literally take up the whole floor space so it was hard to find a place to walk! |
It felt REALLY GOOD to make some progress on the nursery because it had just been sitting there for months as a guest bedroom and I kept thinking that we need to get a move on it but the month was so busy that we hardly had a chance! Things are definitely coming along now though!
Most of you saw this picture already but in case you didn't this was my costume for our school's reading celebration. It was a circus theme so I went as a fortune teller and used my belly as my crystal ball! It was a very big hit and I enjoyed all the teacher's and kid's comments about it. I even had several kids try and pay me to get their fortune told. Haha, obviously I didn't take their money! Or maybe I did?
Ok, that's about it and Wesley just got home so I'm signing off! Love you and talk to y'all soon!
