Can I just say how excited I am right now? I have no idea where God is taking us on this journey of Dave's unemployment right now but I am seeing His hand everywhere! I wish I could really go into detail and maybe one day I can, but for now all I can really say is that He is such a wonderful God that only He could take this "mess" and make something beautiful from it. I am not a change-welcoming kind of person, but I am excited to live day by day, waiting for the next curve in the road. I can't think of a time that I have been this excited about my future without being engaged or pregnant! God is just so good, loving, providing and sovereign!!!!!

I have to say that I am also very proud of Davey and how well he has dealth with the situation. He is happier than he has been for a long time! He is rolling with the punches (and there have been many!!!) and keeps going each day, trying to grow and learn in several ways. He is looking forward to a career change and I am happy to have him make the transition. He is a wonderful husband and I am so very thankful that he and I are on this journey together.

Well, you all should be proud that I have written three times in like 3 or 4 days! Maybe over the weekend I can fill in some of the details. Just please keep us in prayer as Satan tries to attack and we stay focused on God's purpose and plan. (Also pray that the unemployment goes through soon, his boss is fighting it).

Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the beautiful weather!

The Drama of a One Year old

You might never guess that my dear sweet Belle is a tad bit dramatic, so I thought I would share a story from this morning with you as it made me laugh quite hard while I got to watch the live version. Belle hates to have her diaper changed and always cries, yells and kicks her feet during the process. (She probably only does this for me and Dave and behaves for everyone else, that is her usual M.O.) Well, this morning I laid her down and she started with the usual fake tears and as I pull her pajama pants off, she covers each eye with one hand and kept them there the whole time. It was quite funny to see her lay there with this look of "oh, this is just so terrible" while the eyes stayed covered and the fake tears kept flowing. The best part was as soon as I stood her up and said "all done!" she ran off laughing. Sometimes (actually, quite often) she will lay down on the floor and bury her face into the carpet when she doesn't get her way. Many days I open the bathroom door to exit and there she is, laying there and crying with a face full of floor. Silly Drama Queen!

Didn't think you'd see one today, did you?

An update? Ha, not really! But I realized it's been so long since I last updated I figured an update to say that I will update was merited :)

We are all good, busy, growing, learning and waiting on God's perfect plan for us. I will update soon, I have some exciting and neat things to share. life is certainly different for us now but I am excited and looking forward to the next ( and still unknown to us ) step in this adventure we call Life. Hopefully I will have time and energy to share details with you soon!
