I'd like you to meet my best friend Meghan. I've known her for 13 years. She's almost 26 and lives in New Mexico though she's a Texan at heart and was born in Lubbock. She is one of the sweetest and kindest people I know. She has such a heart for others and has lots of friends because everyone just loves being around her. If you're ever her friend it's for life. She's a Christian and has been through many things in her life that have made her the strong courageous woman she is today. She has a BA in Broadcast Journalism and in her free time she likes working out at the gym and snowboarding. She is also a very gifted and talented writer. She has a blog too!I know God has the perfect guy picked out for her already and I can't wait until she finds him!

Kyle's Room

It's Show us your Life Friday over on Kelly's Korner. Today it is nurseries. So here's a picture of Kyle's.

View from the door...Verse on his wall, I LOVE.

Lamp I made him...Our beautiful $700 Bonivita crib I found on craigslist for $200.
The bedding is Lambs and Ivy...We love the music theme. I'm going to be selling it if anyone is interested.

Letters we bought unfinished online and my mom painted...so cute.

Now we have the task of figuring out what to do for his big boy room. We will probably have the kiddos share a room so we can keep an office. Kyle current room will become the office and the office is larger so it will be the kids room. If it's a girl I will have to do something that will work for both. We want to move Kyle to a big boy bed before #2 so we don't have to buy another crib.

I don't do the SUYL much but this week it was all about names. I don't know If I have ever explained on this blog about how we named Kyle but it is a pretty special God-given name so I thought I would share today.

When we first found out we were pregnant I asked Ben if he wanted a Ben Jr. but he's wasn't thrilled...LOL so we had to think up a name and this is what we chose.

Kyle Thomas
Kyle-I have always like this name and so has Ben. It has a special place for both our families.

Ben's parents named him Kyle before he was born...his mom even had a little teddy bear with a t-shirt on that says Kyle. Well that is obviously not his name. When he was born his parents looked at his sweet little face and realized he was not a Kyle...he looked like a Ben.

My parents chose not to find out the sex of their second child who turned out to be a girl, my sister Leslie. But they had a boy name picked out...you guess it...Kyle.

Thomas is my dad's first name and since he doesn't have any sons and he's just such an awesome dad we wanted to honor him in this way.

I won't share our girls names we were thinking of because I want to save those in case we have a girl next.

Show us your life- wedding dresses
