Nursery Progress

Painting is done! We spent a good chunk of our weekend painting the nursery while listening to the Mariah Carey Christmas station on Pandora. I have to say, it was a pretty enjoyable way to spend our weekend and the hubs and I both agree working on the nursery has made us even more excited to meet our little nugget. 

Painting like a pro

With painting complete, Ray felt motivated to tackle another project for baby girl -- assembling the crib! We went with the Olivia crib from Baby Mod and love it even more in person than we did online!

After some cleaning and organizing around the house, I got ready to meet some girlfriends in DC to check out our uber talented friend Preeti's winning design on display at the Corcoran Gallery. Preeti was part of a team participating in the International Interior Design Association's Cosmo Couture competition.  Cosmo Couture fosters a direct collaboration between local Architecture and Interior Design firms and their manufacturing partners in the Washington DC area, to create garments reflecting a given theme.  The garments are judged during a runway show and awards are given to design teams in different categories.  Out of twenty-six teams, Preeti and her team won Most Creative!

On Sunday, we had plans to join our friends Evan and Taylor for the Redskins - Chiefs football game. If I had to describe this game in one word, it would be TORTURE! Not only did the Redskins play horribly, but it was 30 degrees with a steady mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain. We were all freezing and decided to jet outta there at the end of the third quarter when the Chiefs went up 38-10. Despite the weather and bad football, we had a fun time with our friends and enjoyed some good laughs...mostly at the Redskins expense!

Don't let the smiles fool you, we were freezing and sorta miserable

Another weekend gone in a flash!
