Tidbits.

- Life is good. So good. Walking with Jesus and spending daily time with Him has changed me. It has rocked my world and I'm so thankful for the change I can see in my attitude towards life in general.


- I have never really given up anything for Lent, but this year I am determined to make it to Easter without logging on to facebook or twitter. I felt like the Lord put this on my heart, and then that same night that I was saying to myself "there's no way I could... but, but, but...", Kristal tweeted about how she was thinking about it. It was confirmation for me and I am thankful to have a partner in this. I already sent her a text her one day for support and we both relished in the idea of how much we were getting done that day, without the distraction of social networking. I am hoping to not only grow closer to God during this time, but be more intentional about spending quality time with the boys and my husband when he's home.


- I have made some really yummy new recipes lately that I am excited to share with y'all... hang tight and I'll post them in a couple days.


- 3 things I love about Waco. Our church. Our friends. and lastly, the millions of things there are to do for kids. Between library time, Pinwheel Kids, the childrens museum, the zoo, and the awesome parks... we are on 'the go' a lot on Tyler's days at work, and I'm so thankful for that. I swear it keeps me sane! We have a family pass to the childrens museum (yes, it's that awesome) so on days that we just need out of the house, even for a brief moment, we go there and I let Jax run and run and run.

- I am blown away at the ways that God has provided for us. The day before rent was due this month I was trying to figure out how we were going to make it until next payday, and that magical day is tomorrow and we're hanging in there just fine. Things always just work out, don't they?

- I am getting so excited for my sisters wedding. No, she's not engaged {yet}, but we know a wedding is in our near future and I love to see cute ideas and pass them on to her. If we haven't moved closer by the time she gets married, I may or may not be moving in with her for a while to be at her complete disposal. Haha, just kidding. But you just never know.


- No news on the job I applied for, and I am A-okay with that. :) I know it's all in God's hands, so I am just sitting back and waiting for His perfect plan for us.


- Jaxon's speech has greatly greatly improved in the last couple months. I am shocked how much better he's talking and how many more words he says, even since Christmas. I have been really intentional about working with him ever since we saw a speech therapist this past fall, but I know being around other older kids has really helped him too. For the most part, we can understand what he wants, and he's even starting to call people by name, like Gam-ma {grandma}, Kah-yi {kallie}. Yay!

- We are so so so close to selling our house I can taste it! We should be closing within the next week or so, assuming everything continues to go well. Please continue to keep that in your prayers.

Happy Grey's Anatomy day Thursday!

  1. Every time I check your blog, I start to comment and then something comes up and I never finish posting it!

    I love the What I wore Wednesday...DON'T STOP....some how convince your sister- I suggest bribes! Works for mine :)

    I actually failed at taking pictures this past week. Hopefully I'll get back on the band wagon!

    I hope your house sells. It will be such a weight lifted off your shoulders I'm sure. Bittersweet though, especially with it being your first (and a favorite house)! I'm praying!

    And I am so encouraged about your willingness and sacrifice to grow your relationship with the Lord. I'm sure you will find blessings in the "extra" time that seems to get filled up by social networking...it's amazing how much time it really does take up in a day!
