Yeah, so. . .

Thursday was just another typical day. Woke up with a random kind of happiness that I don't always have on my way to work, but an issue that I had with a friend had dissolved, the sun was finally shining after 6 previous days of fog, and Grey's Anatomy was on that night. Yes, its true. I love Thursdays for that very reason.

Went through the day, got a lot accomplished, clocked out early. Picked up my son, saw him walk across my friends living room to greet me, took him home.

Opened the garage door, saw hubby's car. Thought it was strange since he never makes it home before I do. Removed baby from car seat, walked in the door. Saw hubby and his fancy new haircut. Asked him why he was home before me and chuckled as I asked him "you didn't quit your job did you?". He smiled, said no, took Jaxon from me to sit down.

"So why are you home early then?" {insert deafaning silence here} "Tyler? Why are you home before me?" {heart starts to race}

"I lost my job today."

{Panic races over me, but then relief as I realize he's probably playing a mean joke on me.} "No, seriously. Why are you home before me?"

"I lost my job today, Megan."

"You're serious?"

"They laid-off the entire department. No such thing as the Avionics department anymore."

*sobbing*

About 10 minutes later ...

"What are we going to do? There is no way we can survive on my salary alone. We will lose our house."

"We'll make it. We'll trust, we'll pray, and God will provide."

Wordless Wednesday.

Yes, it is indeed back. You're welcome Andy Watts. :)



{picture taken last week in Winter Park... sooc}

I think...

I should be nominated for the worlds worst blogger. Does anyone ever read this anymore anyways?

So I've been a little MIA obviously, and not just because I suck, but because we were in Colorado. My parents took my family to Winter Park for a week! We had an incredible time. The resort we stayed at had tons of free things to do and then everyone obviously did the whole skiing/snowboarding gig too. I even skiied! Haha, not really. I mean, I did - but I got to the top of the hill (cried the entire way up) and then walked down. I thought my life was over... don't worry, its not. But it's definitely a funny memory for the time being... and one that I'll probably never live down from my family. :) More pictures and a post to come on that later...

I wanted to show a picture of my baby boy, who is almost not a baby anymore by the way... he will be 1 in 22 days. That's right... that means I will have a toddler on my hands. While we were in Winter Park we got Jaxon's haircut. I didn't want to, but Tyler begged and pleaded and I told him as long as it was $10 or less we would, and sure enough - it was $10. Dang it. Here's a before and after picture...





Doesn't he look like a big boy now? Sniff... time is going way too quick.

Merry Christmas from the Keith's!

Here's an electronic version of our Christmas card we sent out this year...



Friends and Family,

I can hardly believe an entire year has passed and it’s time to sit and write about 2009. This year has been filled with true joy and love... full of God’s grace and many blessings.

Jaxon decided to grace us with his presence a couple weeks early in February, and was born perfect and healthy. He is now 10 months old and he is a true bundle of joy to us. He is the happiest and most content baby, and loves to laugh and play. He is crawling now and is into everything he’s not supposed to be… it continues to amaze me how he loves to play with everything except his toys! His dimples and his laugh make us smile… we love spending time just the 3 of us. I can’t believe in just 2 short months we’ll be celebrating his first birthday. Time flies for sure, and we’ve loved every second.

Tyler continues to work as an Avionics Technician and enjoys his job. He loves that there is always something new and enjoys keeping up with the ‘latest and greatest’ on the electronics side of things. I am still working for the Bank and I am now the Supervisor over 2 separate locations. It has been a challenge to say the least… I’m looking forward to the day I am able to stay home with Jaxon. Tyler and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary in July and to celebrate we spent the weekend as a family in Omaha. Our first family vacation – and it was a blast! We have lived in our house now for 1 ½ years. I love decorating it and turning it into our home. And of course Tyler loves the never-ending “honey to do” list. :) We love having a place to call our own.

Also this year we finally found a church home and an amazing group of friends through our small group. I am also back into the “worship scene” and help play keyboard and sing on our Worship Team. I am so thrilled to be back in ministry and we are grateful for our friends and family who have supported and prayed for us this past year.

We are thankful to serve a God who is in control and provides us with exactly what we need. He has blessed us in many ways and we can’t wait to see what’s in store for us in 2010! We pray you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Love to all,

Tyler, Megan, and Jaxon
