So it's been a while since I've posted anything on the blog, but there has been a lot of excitement going on in the Best family. We have been so blessed lately even if neither of us have jobs right now.

The 1st exciting thing is that I'm starting on my last class for my bachelor's degree on June 27!! My 4 years of schooling is coming to an end...finally!!

The 2nd and the more exciting thing of the two is that we are...EXPECTING!!! That's right...our first little baby will arrive around December 30, 2012. Thankfully, that's after graduation. I'll be huge at graduation, but at least I'll be at graduation!

The last little bit of news that's not so exciting is that my brother is being deployed starting in December so he will miss the birth of his niece or nephew. He'll be gone for about a year, so Facebook and e-mail will become our source of communication.

On a happier note though, I have finally started decorating our house, starting with our bedroom. We painted the walls a really nice blue/teal color called "Caribbean Blue." All of the trim is white. I'm searching for a comforter that is white and gray, but haven't found one I come close to liking, so I'm thinking of making my own. I really want to go with white curtains with a gray strip at the top/bottom. My husband has hung all of our picture frames which are black. It's coming together slowly, but nicely. I can't wait to finally get it done. We are probably going to have to have the nursery in our room unless my parents move my grandmother to their house. Then we'll have a room all for the nursery. I can't wait to find out if we're having a boy or girl so we can start decorating our bedroom/nursery or just the nursery. I will be creating just a baby blog in order to share information with family and friends that aren't local. I'll post the link once I get it done.

Well, that's all for now. I'll be back on sometime this week to update about school and hopefully post pictures of our room and baby. =)

it's been a while

Wow, I can't believe it's been 2 months since I've posted anything. So while I was gone, 2012 began; I started my last semester in college; and officially started my role as a wife. I know, I know...Josh and I have been married 8 months and I'm just becoming a wife?! Well, ever since Josh and I got married in May, I've only been home for about 2 months due to being in school 5 hours away. But now I'm home and can finally start being a wife to my wonderful husband. From this moment on, I will be documenting my journey through cooking, crafting, and decorating our home. One big inspiration for all of this is Pinterest.com. I can spend hours and hours looking and wishing on there. I can't wait to get my creative juices going, and I hope you will be a long for the ride.
