Big News and Big Changes

We have had quite a few changes and lots of good news in the Thomas household. First of all, my brother-in-law is getting married! Justin proposed to Brooke in August and they are planning on getting married in the Nauvoo Temple in December! I'm so happy for them and I can't wait to have a new sister-in-law!

Cam started school a few weeks ago on August 31st and he is loving it so far! He is studying Business with a focus on finance and administration. He loves his classes and he has such a great schedule, he's finished by noon M/W/F, except for one class that gets out at 3:30 on Mondays, and he's done by 1:30 on T/Th. He his so happy to be in school, and there's only 13 weeks left in the semester!

The biggest news lately...I'M PREGNANT!!!!

We found out about 10 days ago, and if I counted right, I'll be 6 weeks this Thursday. Since I'm not very far along, there isn't much else to tell, except that I haven't been able to sleep at night and morning sickness is AWFUL! Hopefully it doesn't last very long! I have my first doctor's appointment on Oct. 22, so hopefully I will have more news by then! We are so excited!

This is our new "office". We haven't been able to do much with the spare bedroom since we moved here...it took us FOREVER to go through all of our stuff that we pretty much dumped in here when we moved in. I wish I had a picture of it, it was pretty bad, you couldn't even walk through the room without having to step over something. But we finally cleaned it out, organized everything, got rid of stuff, and we were able to store everything that was left in the closet! For a while, Justin was living with us and he was using this room, but, we finally were able to do something with it. We bought a desk, a chair, a bookcase, a rug, and a table for the printer, and the room looks great! It is so nice to have the computer in one spot instead of moving it from the kitchen table, to the living room, and back to the table. Cameron and I are so happy to have a place to study and do homework so we're not distracted by anything else that's going on.

I've already started decorating for Halloween! I made some "toilet paper pumpkins", an idea that I got from a friend. You take a roll of toilet paper, wrap orange fabric around it, and use felt and pipe cleaners for the stem and vines. There are other ways to make them, but that was how I did it.

They are so easy to make! And I got those jack-o-lantern candle holders at the dollar store! (Cam really likes them!)

I made this from a wooden wreath and leaves from the dollar store, and it actually turned out to be pretty cute!





Can't forget these! My mom collected Pooh and Tigger beanies and she gave me her Tiggers, so I brought out my Halloween ones to decorate the apartment. I couldn't wait to start decorating, I am so excited for fall!
