View BECKAMARIE's food & exercise for this day
...That he was not properly represented yesterday and he felt bad that he looked a little insensitive to my chubbiness... lol. He is writing an appeal that I will publish when he has time...
So last night we were going to go find him a new jacket for the wedding this weekend but he changed the plans... saying that he would get by with his current wardrobe choices and he spent money on supplies to re-do the upstairs for the baby!!

I am so excited!!!! We got a wallpaper steamer and patching mud and some storage crates... dropcloths, a pan for the patching mud, sandpaper blocks, a 'tiger' to perforate the wallpaper...
I love re-doing rooms! I just drooled all over the paint colors and picked up roughly 3,000 color chips to choose from.
It will be so beautiful when we are finished... I just know it will!
I talked to my Mom about the wedding trip... She and Dad have a busy couple of days coming up... Tonight after work they are driving up to see their grandsons about 2 hours away... and then they are flying to FL tomorrow mid-morning. They are leaving the 4 youngest brothers under the supervision of my 28 yr old brother.
Matt and I are flying out Sat early so only Mom & Dad, Matt & I are going. I think it will be a good time to hang out together, just the 4 of us... and to tell them about the baby!!

My Mom will go nuts. She will be pretty excited. I am just so happy that our children will have both, loving Grandma's around a lot. I had neither as a child and I didn't know what I was missing then, but now I see it....
I need to start packing tonight... We are going to see Matt's boss and his wife tomorrow night so tonight is the best time to get it done. Have you started unpacking yet Callie??
I know this is short... gotta run..
Oh yeah... here are the verses I have been reading lately that really mean a lot at the moment..
Matthew 11:28-30 ... Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light...
Revelation 21:4 ... He will wipe every tear from thier eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain...

I'm excited about the baby's room, too! I love redoing rooms. You'll have to give us details later about colors, themes, etc. that you have chosen.
