November

Early November was business as usual, at least for us...JPs parents moved into their new house with granny. We moved in with mom the week before thanksgiving. 

Let's recap our first week at moms. 

Saturday - moving day...enough said except thank you all who helped us we are so blessed 

Sunday - church and wrapping day with the kids

Monday - wind storm with blackout ...poor JP

Tuesday - a new house shows up on the market

Wednesday - nothing too special

Thursday - thanksgiving and time with family

Friday - shopping and house showing 

Saturday - different house showing... Made an offer on 1st showing and offer was accepted. Crazy!

Oh what a week, what a month.

October

I feel super lame for my lack of posting but to be fair the last few months have flown by with a flash. Started my new job which week one and week two were crazy hard and at moments full of doubts. But after a few changes and support from other staff things have gotten much better. I really think it will be a good fit once I am able to learn and organize everything.

Happy Halloween

Time to announce our exciting news!

Quilt update!

I have finished the quilting part of JPs quilt now I just have to add the binding. Yea just in time before the new job starts lol

“A million emotions”

“A million emotions” that is truly the only way I can explain September. Though I am writing this post on 9/13 I will not publish it for a while…

As from the previous post you can see that I now have a new job and will be starting super soon!! Well in other super exciting news we are pregnant!! Yes I know! I have not been very open on my blog about wanting or trying for a baby. Our story is pretty simple; we have very busy lives that at times are super complicated. When we got married we decided we wanted to wait before adding kids to the mix. About a year ago (last fall) we decided that it was time to start the process of trying. For anyone male or female that is trying to have a baby I pray for you and your sanity each day. I understand the frustration around the process. Even knowing that God is in control and will bless you it is still super hard at times. We have had so many people along the way ask about when we were planning for kids or tell us we better not wait. With each comment my inside would tighten and then you have everyone you know getting pregnant. (it was like when you buy a car and then you notice it is the same one your neighbor has drove for the last year and then you see two more at work…they are everywhere) Through this process JP has been awesome, supportive and ok with my emotional breakdowns. (there are times I just needed to cry and there were times where I needed to not)

Confirmed, 9/18/14, after taking 1 pregnancy test and it being very faint I have taken my follow up test and yes there are two bold lines. Right now it does not feel very real. I feel like I am in a dream. We are super excited but almost nervous. After trying for a year it seemed to happen without us even realizing it. God is funny like that.
