Today, we got in our bedding and our frames for above the changer. These were the two things we were waiting on to complete the room. I am so excited.
Arthur is out now having some last little manly time before the baby arrives. For Father's day, I got him a custom made gun chest from a local man, Dan Matthews. I met Dan's wife here in Tupelo right after our move. She is such a caring, beautiful lady on the inside and out. She really puts a lot into the community, and has been an amazing role-model to me. She has all kinds of advice on how to cope, care for, and deal with an adventurous husband. And I've never seen her not wearing a glowing smile.
On our trip to Peru this past February, Arthur got to meet Dan. Dan had driven his motorcycle from the Arctic Circle, all the way to Peru, and plans to finish the journey all the way to the tip of South America. He is one adventurous man, so naturally Arthur took a quick liking to Mr. Dan. Dan has an unbelievable talent to take natural and funky pieces of wood and make them into AMAZING works. If you have ever been on pickwick lake and seen the twisted, funky treehouse, that is Dan's work for his grandchildren. It is unreal amazing what he can do with wood and his hands. And Dan has all kinds of stories. So to make the gift even better, Dan is letting Arthur help out with the construction of his gun chest. I went to the dust shop to see Dan Tuesday, and he had all types of wood and ideas he was excited about working with. I can't wait to see what these two come up with. We have been so blessed to meet the Matthew's family here in Tupelo. Kay and Dan both mean a lot to me and Arthur. As we were driving off from Dan's house Tuesday, we both agreed that we would love to be just like them when we "grow up."

So today, while Dan and Arthur are building, I'm doing a little nesting and putting the finishing touches on the nursery!
