Painting Party and Our Valentine's Day

We've been spending a lot of time in our nursery lately. We've had some setbacks. But we are loving the outcome!

The ceiling is Key Pearl Pink.


We got our chandelier installed too!

The walls are White Blush. We love how the white trim stands out, but the cream is not yellow at all.

The stripes....oh the stripes. The stripes will be natural linen.

The walls are blush white. They are finished. :) Blakely likes to hang out in the nursery. That warms my heart!


We bought the crown molding and are hoping to get it up soon.

Our crib bedding also arrived! It is beautiful and matches the ceiling perfectly!


Now onto our Valentine's Night. We kept it real low key and it was perfect. We had dinner by candlelight and then watched a movie in bed. It was bliss!

When we got married we didn't have a tv in our bedroom for the first year of marriage. Our pre-marital counselor challenged us to do that and we did. Then when we moved into this house 3 years ago, we put a small, old tv in our bedroom but never watched it...so we took it out. The one real pregnancy "symptom" that I've experienced is fatigue. I get up super early and go strong all day...but when 6:00 rolls around. I am exhausted!!! And if I have a meeting or Bible Study...then I'm too tired to even watch tv in the living room when I get home...haha! We're really tv show series people..not movie people, but we both thought that that getting a tv for our bedroom sounded like a great solution for the time being. We can snuggle up and watch our shows together and when I can't fight sleep any longer...I'm alreay in bed! Perfect! :) So that was our Valentine's gift to each other. A tv. Real romantic huh? :) I also got Matty a watering can that he wanted and he got me some hair ties and some beautiful freshwater pearls (I was surprised!). I can honestly say that most days are like Valentine's Day with Matty. I'm so blessed and our little girl will be too!

Oh Nicole, great minds think alike! We got a TV for our bedroom for Christmas... for the exact same reasons!! Ha! I think every night how glad I am to have it and how glad I will be when those late night feedings strike and I can just sit up in bed and catch a show!
