B-to-the-L-O

My very dear friend, Brandi, came out to visit us this weekend. We had so much fun having her here and I enjoyed some much needed girl time! I also needed a little taste of home and she brought a little California with her which was nice.

Brandi and I met in the teaching credential program at Cal State Fullerton when we were 22 and have only grown closer over the years. She was the one who convinced me to get my master's degree and I am forever grateful to her for that. She has seen me through very high highs and very low lows. I love her with all of my heart and miss her terribly everyday! Thank goodness for text messaging or I'd be lost! Thanks for coming out, Brandi! I miss you already!

B and I at the Abby. Yummo! We ordered SO much food!


Jackson wanted to sit by Brandi at lunch. So sweet! He was calling her Gramma because she was staying in the room Grandma stays in when she comes to visit.


Me, Jack, and the goggles at lunch.


Jack and his new turtle goggles and lunch box. He walked through McAllister's like this. Good thing he's only 2 and people thought it was funny. Crazy kid!


Me and my B-Lo outside the candy store where we once again gorged ourselves.


I am so blessed to have such an amazing friend (and friends) in my life! I am forever grateful for how this woman has impacted my life!!!

Our Miracle

"He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted." Job 9:10 "You are the God who performs miracles; You will display Your power among the peoples." Psalm 77:14 Meet our miracle...and our secret. Yes, it is true. I am pregnant; about twelve weeks and a few days to be exact. We wanted to make sure this baby was healthy before announcing how great God has been to us! We have known about this precious little blessing for a little over two months and have eagerly awaited numerous sonogram and test results. We have witnessed God's mighty, yet gentle, hand every Tuesday for the past five weeks. This baby is a fighter. However, the road is not "clear" quite yet. We met with the pareanatoligist today to do a sonogram and blood test to determine if there are any chromosomal abnormalities; specifically Downs, and Trisomy 13 and 18. Although the sonogram looked great and the doctor said we were in the "safe zone," we are stil

Don't Lose You

When Jackson was a baby, I would hop into my car on my lunch break and rush to his day care to see him. I had thirty minutes with my baby and I needed every last second. I was a mess of a new mom and had a really hard time leaving him everyday. I was caught in the conundrum of loving teaching with all that I was and loving being a mom desperately wanting to stay home. I established a neat relationship with Jack's care-takers. They were a little older than me and much wiser. They will never fully know how appreciative I am for their advice and comfort during those beginning moments as a mama. When I decided to leave my teaching career and move halfway across the country to do so, they gave me a piece of advice that I didn't take seriously initially but now hold dear. They told me I had to find something for me. They watched me finish my master's that year and knew I was the type that needed to be doing. They recognized that I was about to enter a season where I had to hold

Monday Musings~You have been called...

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139:13-14 ...to pray. Meet our newest addition; baby Fish. I am officially 8 weeks four days pregnant! PRAISE GOD!!!! We saw our precious miracle today for the second time; heart flickering away on the monitor with little arm and leg buds beginning to form. The doctor gave us a great report telling us that everything looks perfect...can't get any better than that. God is so good to us. We are blessed beyond belief to experience the miracle of life once again. Please pray for our growing family and our precious growing angel. We feel the presence of God daily and welcome and need your prayers.
