Being a Godmother
I am going to be a Godmother! I am so excited and was so shocked when my cousin asked me. She and her husband got married about 2 years ago and they are both older than me (in their late 20's) but they have always been really close to me because we are around the same age and they live close to us. I have never really thought about being a Godmother before but it was such an honor to be asked.
I get to do so much cool stuff too. The baby is due (it's a girl!!) a few weeks after I get home from school in May and I went home a few weeks ago to help them with the nursery decoration process. And when I say process, I seriously mean process. We looked for days at nursery décor and so many different stores and magazines. Finally she decided on pink and white and a little bit of brown accent. I think she wanted it to be classic and girly with the pink and white but also more modern by adding the brown. The nursery wallpaper is white and pink boxes sort of and the top of the wall above it is pink and the bottom is brown. It looks so amazing and after her shower we hung up the entire little baby clothes on tiny hangers!
I never really thought about having kids or wanting them (I'm only 21) but after doing this I can't wait (well I can ha but I'm excited for when it happens in the future) to decorate and get ready for a baby. All of the gifts she got and registered for were delivered to her house and I helped her put everything away and set it up. There is a little rocking chair in the corner and also a sofa and a foot stool as well as a tiny crib and a basinet. Everything is so small and looks so cute and innocent and I really like the end result of the pink and brown together. I think she was nervous at first but it turned out so great.
I just can't wait to actually see and hold her and get to see her in the room we spent so much time working on. Let's just hope that I am as great of a Godmother as I am a decorator.
