Gifts Already!!!! :)

I have already received some wonderful gifts for Abrisa and I thought I'd share them with you. The black baseball dress is from her grandmother, Debbie, and I'm sure she'll be wearing this all the time. The extremely cute halloween tidbits are from Karla!! a dear friend from Ada. She sent this gift a couple days before Halloween. Karla is the sweetest!! The group of all the different little items is from my mama....Abrisa's grandmother. All gorgeous pieces...but who would doubt that, my mom has great taste!! And the yellow Nike outfit is what Shaff and I bought the day we found out it was a girl...you'd think it would be pink, but no!! not pink...we went with a yellow NIKE shirt! pretty typical of us.

alive

I am still alive...I just haven't written anything in a while. I have some pictures I am going to put up soon, so be watching for those and I go to the dr. today after work so I'll let you know how that goes!! I'm so glad Thanksgiving is this week!! I love Thanksgiving almost as much as I love Christmas ! :)

Her name!!!

I've told some of you, but haven't got to mention it to ALL of you!! We have picked out her name! Well, actually, we weren't sure what we were naming the baby if it was a boy, but we were SURE on the girl name, so we didn't really pick it out, we have had it for a long time. So that really worked out well, we didn't have to think at all about that!! Since Shaff and I are both Lebanese!!! :) we really wanted to use a Lebanese name somewhere and when one of the parent's name is SHAFF you've gotta have some odd names for your children (or at least DIFFERENT). Not that Shaff's name is odd, it's just different. No one else in the whole universe is named Shaff!! And Shaff likes it that way. And I do too. It's perfect for him :)
When Shaff and I first met, ....well maybe on our 2nd, 3rd, or 4th date (we moved quite quickly in our relationship ....i mean we started dating in August and got engaged the following October, so talking about baby names wasn't odd for a couple like us) we talked about baby names...or he did. He was so sure about his names for his kids, which is quite cute (of course it's cute, he's the cutest). He told me the girl's name and I wasn't quite sure about it, but as the years went by I have fallen in love with the name. it is music to my ears!! So her name (officially) will be ...no, is...
Abrisa Elizabeth Elkouri ....oh I love it!!
Abrisa was the name of Shaff's great grandmother. If you can't figure out how to say it, here you go Abrisa (Uh-bree-suh)!! Gorgeous!!
