Design on a Dime (Kaney Style)

We had to move out of our previous apartment into a short term lease because we are not sure where we'll be in 6 months. We moved from our fully furnished apartment into an unfurnished apartment, but all of our furniture is in storage in Illinois. So we set a $500 budget to furnish our new apartment until we know where we can finally settle down and move our furniture from Illinois to our new home (wherever that ends up being). It was so amazing how the Lord provided things for us. Generous friends gave us pieces of furniture they didn't need, and we found a couple extremely cheap buys on Craigslist. In the end we ended up even coming out under budget. God is good.

It's A Girl!

A baby girl is on her way into this world very soon, but sorry to break the news...it's not us that's pregnant. I know some of you were so excited there for a split second. Sorry to get your hopes up, but it's really my best friend in Virginia Beach (Joanne) that's expecting. Riley Camille will probably be making her grand appearance sometime in the next week or two, and we're so excited to meet this new member of the Whitfield family. This past weekend I helped throw a baby shower for Joanne. It was so great to pamper Joanne. She really deserves it. It was a lot of fun making her gift too. I made a diaper cake for the first time, and I must admit it turned out pretty good for a first attempt. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to make some more in the near future. It was so much fun.

"We're on an adventure..."

Aaron & I went camping with our friends Dave & Cheryl this past weekend in the Shenandoah Mountains. We hiked a trail called Old Rag in the Shenandoah Mountains, and it was a blast! We enjoyed camping, but our favorite part was the trail. It was so much fun to go through the "rock scramble" at the top of the mountain and literally climb the rocks. We can't wait to go back!
