Amazing Friends

I have been feeling really blessed recently because of the girls I know. I have been learning so much and I have met a lot of amazing people (too many to mention so I'm just picking 3 of the most recent to blog about).

So, my new friend, Susannah, accomplished 2 things by hosing a mini-class last week. 1- she helped me remember I like beading. I made a bracelet last night and these are the earrings she showed me how to make. and 2 - I haven't worn earrings since senior prom I think. Nope, not even for our wedding. I wore earrings to church on Sunday. I meant to have Tyler take a picture of me actually wearing them, but we sort of fell apart after a long stake conference and forgot all about pictures. (and isn't it nice to have something new to make you feel cute when you are really just feeling fatter and more swollen by the day?)

Next thought is about my friend Jill. She spent the entire afternoon on Friday teaching me how to make bagels. Its something that I always thought would be good to make, but sounded like too much work to try. She also cooks in metric so it was really interesting to see that. I'm now no longer scared of making bagels (although I learned it def takes less time to just run to the bagel shop!)

Lastly, and the inspiration for this post- When I got home from bagel making Friday night I had gotten this in the mail. Is it not the cutest? What made me even happier was Tyler even loved it, and I don't think he has taken a second look at baby clothes yet. So, the last shout-out goes to my friend Diana for always being creative and having great ideas. Her blog shows the evidence. She is always making something cute, and I love being the recipient.
PS ... our due date is 2 weeks from today. (I keep telling people I think he will come later than that, but I still can't wait!)
