We want to start by saying a BIG thank you to some very special friends who went over and above the duty of friends to help us out last week with Baby Spears room. Our friend Page, on his way through town, helped move some heavy furniture from the babies room to the new office/guest room. Then the Crawford crew come over on Friday and within an 1 1/2 hours had the entire bedroom painted green! It looks amazing. Finally, Saturday, our friends Brandi and Kevin came over to help us put the furniture back into the babies room! (so they thought) We began the day by going to IHOP for a little breakfast (Brent and Kevin meet with two other guys every other Saturday for an accountability group. Brandi and I just went along and sat at our own table, so not to bother the men!) We had a blast. We came home and began the 30 minutes of moving furniture! (according to Brent we would only need Kevin and Brandi for 30 minutes.... more like 12 hours!...) Brandi and Kevin were amazing! Brandi was able to look in our master bedroom and move furniture around to make the space look better! I love our "new master bedroom so much!" My best friend Jen Jordan in Texas gave me the design idea of how to design the babies room! Without these key people, Brent and I would still be "discussing where the changing table should go!" (you think I'm kidding!)
After our fun adventure of moving everything in our house, we ate an awesome lunch and then headed to our first visit to IKEA!! WHAT.... HOW HAVE WE NEVER BEEN TO THAT INCREDIBLE PLACE!!! We went to look for a stand to hold our printer and found a great deal. We will be going back soon to get a whole lot of other stuff too!!
After we left IKEA we went to return our comforter set at Bed Bath and Beyond! Seriously, our plan was not to take all day! Sitting in an hour of traffic did not help at all. We ended up going to Linens and Things to buy our new bedding (which again, like the rest of our day, took forever and had to be ordered from another store in CA!!) While we waited we talk about where we would be eating dinner! MEAL three with Brandi and Kevin! Kevin was really hungry for Japanese food (well Sushi, but since I am pregnant that was out of the question!) I said that I had never had Japanese. Brandi screams "What in the world, are you not an AMERICAN?" I had to think about that one for a second. Does eating Japanese make you an American??? We could not stop laughing at her in LNT!!!! What a day of first it was for us. Setting up our first child's bedroom, going to IKEA and then Japanese steakhouse! COuld this day be any better? WE HAD A BLAST!! The guy who fixed our food was so much fun. We told him it was my first time, which helped a lot. We will be back again for sure. Thanks Brandi and Kevin for such a special day! We love you guys! Also a big thanks to Jen, who in our family is our family doctor, our decorator, blog expert, ebay pal, house cleaning encourager, parenting advice giver, baby advice giver, prayer encourager, major supporter, counseling supervisor and seriously my list could go on and on!! We love us some JEN JORDAN!! (well we happen to be big Jordan family fans!!) But I love you and cherish you more than you know Jen! We need to live next door one day!!
