    Shannon, that 2nd pic is super cute! 

    Jaymi, good luck to your DH!

    This week I found out that my hire at TCC is official. I'm an on-call, so essentially I'm a substitute librarian, lol. I'm going to try to put most, if not all, of the money I earn there in my savings so that, if I haven't found anything new by the time my UNT job ends in December, I'll have enough to get through Feb. or March.

    Congrats Anna!  When you have been looking for librarian jobs at universities, do you look on the staff side or the faculty side? 

    Thanks! It depends on the institution, some are staff and some are faculty. Like, UNT has them as faculty but SMU has them as staff.

  • That San Fran deal is amazing... I wish I had time to go!

    Shannon -- ADORABLE sono pic. I'm so excited for you! And I love the idea of a gender neutral nursery. I'd totally copy that picture if I was you... it's pretty perfect!

    Congrats, Anna!

    My AW is that this morning I hurt SO bad, but I still rocked out an 8 a.m. family shoot. With two children. Who weren't feelin' it. My new goal for this boot camp is not to lose weight, but just to keep doing it for the entire month without having to slack off in everything ELSE I do. That point of pride will be totally worth it.

    You have your bases covered, which I figured.  I remember seeing them under staff a long time ago at UNT but yesterday I noticed they were faculty and wondered if you knew.

    I just got an email that airfare from DFW to San Francisco is $49 each way for travel before the end of October.   I may hyperventilate. Seriously.

     

    Travelzoo just sent out an email for $50 each way, LOL.

    Oh wow... can someone email the 2 deals to me purty please?  amanda dot davis_7 at yahoo.com.  I was just talking to DH about either going to Vegas or San Fran literally last night.  San Fran might work out better, but I'm pretty stuck on Vegas still.  :)

    TIA.

    Yeah, I noticed that too. I applied for two of the five that are open.

    Everyone: Congrats on your aw's.

    Shannon: Your blobs are so cute hanging out side-by-side! My bro and I are Irish twins (11mos apart) and we're super BFFs. We were even roommates in college and still talk daily. Baby stores are overwhelming, for sure. I went to Babies R Us a couple of times just to look around and ask questions before I ever registered. I also read lots of Amazon reviews before choosing things for the registry. I did PBK for bedding, though, because I don't like monkeys and practically EVERYTHING gender-neutral at BRU has stupid monkeys. (Henry was a surprise)

    My AW: I signed up for a crochet class at my local community college yesterday. It starts next Thursday. I'm going to attempt to make most Christmas gifts this year!

    crocheting is super fun.  I made scarves and hats for Christmas one year.

    I'm doing gender neutral for the nursery even though we will find out the genders. I found this one that I LOVE and I may just straight up copy it.

    I love bird/owl/nature themed nurseries! I wanted a book theme, so I chose Peter Rabbit bedding, but I've been thinking about treeing up one wall. I was just sitting in Henry's room yesterday wishing I'd gone gray unstead of tan in there.

    I originaly wanted a book theme too, I looked at a lot of pictures of Dr. Seuss nurseries that I loved, but I decided I wanted something more modern, then when they're kids I'll try to sell them on the Dr. Seuss stuff :-)

  • I'm right there with you! I looked at the Dr. Seuss stuff and really liked it, but didn't want the whole room to be pigeon-holed and super themey.
  • Tiffany- I saw that deal too! I'm thinking of surprising Matt for his birthday!

     

    I started buying nursery stuff and we are not even TTC yet. I just couldn't pass it up! I just have an obsession with anything vintage! I told Matt about it and he just laughed.

    What did you buy?? Can you show please?

    OMGosh Shannon, I am not a huge baby person but that ultrasound of both of them is adorable.

    I think I may get tickets to the Houston/ Carolina game and make it a bday trip for Matt.  The game falls on his actual bday and his fave team (panters) is playing within a few hours of us, it just seems too perfect to not go.

    My H is from N. Carolina and a panthers fan, too! where and when is the game?

    Thanks. Maybe I can find tickets, too. Our anniversary is close (12/22) that could be my gift to him.
