Where in the world have we been?!

Well we didn't go on any fabulous trips last week, no, even better we got to stay home!!! After working a week at financial aid, which was pretty funny actually, I finally could be home! Our first two days of being home (Lylia and I) were home sick. I was sick with an infection and Lylia had a weird virus. But snuggling and not having to worry about calling out sick with repercussions was wonderful! So I've been cleaning, organizing and getting ready for our new baby girl coming in just 4 1/2 weeks!
What might you ask was so funny about my last week at work, was that I was so happy that I kept getting talked to that I was too happy, and I didn't care. I just continued on being happy and thought what a depressing place to work! lol. I also helped out loads of students before I left and got to pass some on to my supervisor who complained that I was being too helpful. Pretty much I wanted to leave on a good note, and I did!
So you can look at my finishedprojects.blogspot.com for more pictures of actual projects. I am still in the process on all of my projects so final picture will come in a few days. But life is good!
Last week we had a miracle. Our car has been having issues for months, and finally after insisting that they keep our car until it was fixed resulted in them finally figuring out what was wrong. We felt our prayers had been answered when we were called and told that the $1200 repair would be covered for us by the dealership. They didn't have to for any reason, but I sincerely felt it was a direct blessing for paying our tithing this month. We wrote a nice thank you card, and picked our car up last night, and it was been perfect!!! knock on wood!
Also two weeks ago I had a gift certificate for babiesrus we got on black friday for spending $75 we got a $10 gift card (coupon found in a happy meal weeks ago). So Justin and I took advantage of Lylia being at my mom's for a week so we could save on childcare and we went and got some stuff we still needed for the baby. I've been trying to decide on a double stroller for a while, and still haven't decided, but we walked in and saw this beauty on clearance for $30 with an additional percentage off that made it like $23 plus our $10 gift card, it was only $13 brand new! The box had been damaged and it was the only reason it was on clearance. Normal retail value $90! I am so glad we got it!


Our car seat works beautifully on it!


Here are some pictures of Lylia opening presents when she got home!

Hey, what a steal you got on that stroller!! Great job! Lylia looks precious in her Christmas dress. Also, I had a good laugh over the person that commented most on your name suggestions. I bet you loved that. :)
