Last night it finally sunk in...we have 12 weeks til Brynne will be here! (By the way that means about 14 weeks til Christmas!) That put me into overdrive mode. I knew in my head it was only 12 weeks but when I started thinking about everything that needs to be done between now & then I got a little worried. Thank you Mom, Abby, Holly, & Cari for calming me down just a little bit but the main thing for me was that I hadn't even decided on a fabric. So of course nothing else could be decided. Well, this morning I went to finally order the fabric online and guess what...it was backordered. That did not help the anxiety level at all. So I checked another web site...sold out, the third web site had it but it was WAY overpriced. I went straight to Holly and told her we needed to go looking for it here in Lubbock during lunch (since I knew she didn't have anything better to do). Well long story short, we didn't find the one we were looking for but we did find this one that Holly & I both liked instantly. (Abby didn't answer quickly enough so I didn't have her opinion...which I need on practically everything!) After a quick call to Christy to confirm what type of fabric to get, we even got a striped material that matches. YEAHH!!!! Thank you Lord for answering my prayers so quickly. Thank you Holly for being a master packer, heavy lifter/loader, and putting up with me as I go from one idea to the next and even adding to the idea (better yet, taking away from the idea!). I'm so excited about it and now Cari (& Kathy) has some sewing to do, Abby - furniture redoing, Holly - painting, and Mom & I have lots and lots of cleaning out to finish. I am so thankful for everyone that has offered their talents & advice...it's greatly appreciated and definitely needed. (If anyone else NEEDS something to do...applications are now being accepted...we still have to refinish some floors, paint the rest of the house, fix a ceiling, and the list goes on & on & on!) We are truly blessed to have so many awesome family & friends. We definitely don't say it enough...THANK YOU! & WE LOVE YOU!

Fabric...Finally!
