The Coolest Gift

I've been absent from blogging for a while, but with good reason: we spent a wonderful 2 weeks in Oregon, visiting Jeremy's family and celebrating his grandparents' 60th wedding anniversary.

I'll post about our trip another time, but I couldn't wait to get this amazing thing on my blog. The night we got back from our trip, which was late last Wednesday night, we saw this on the door of the nursery:
Hopefully you can tell what that is, but in case you can't, the entire door was "wrapped" like a gift, with a bow and all! Our dear friends Stephanie and Lou had snuck into our house while we were away in Oregon, and painted little Westin's room for us!!!!!

Stephanie was with me when I bought the paint, and she had helped me talk through the design I wanted to do, but little did I know that she would actually DO IT FOR ME! It was such an amazing blessing, and it turned out beautifully. Here are some pictures of the finished product:
















Those stripes were no small feat, and they perfectly match the bedding I bought to put in Westin's crib.

Jeremy I were really humbled and blessed by this incredible gesture. It's good to be loved.

THANK YOU STEPHANIE AND LOUANN!!!
