Busier than ever!

So I am not driving the 120+ miles everyday, but life hasn't slowed down for us one bit.



I am loving my new job and still learning all the ins and outs....a little harder since my pregnant trainer is on bedrest and has been since day #4, but we are managing and she has been great help even from the comforts of her home or hospital bed..depending on what day it is. ;-) I also love having the boys with me on my drives to and from Farmersville everyday. Jackson still asks everyday to go with me....one day he will catch on, bless his heart!



I am speaking for Brett, but I think he still loves being a full-time pastor. He is busy all the time, whether visiting folks in the hospital or counseling couples or helping to prepare food baskets for those in need. This is truly God's calling for him and am so thankful that he is where he is at today....it has made him a better husband and father for our family.



Just a quick update on the boys....I have tons of pictures, but will have to post later....as always, when I have more time. ;-)


  • Kelton has 6 teeth now....cut 3 within days of each other, so he looks funny with his top teeth staggered.

  • Jackson wants every single toy that he sees on TV or in an advertisement....whether it is a boy or girl toy. He tells whomever is there "Nana, I want that for Christmas" or " Momma, I need that from Santa". We just laugh as he watches TV to see what's next on his ever growing wish list.

  • Kelton has been scooting around on his butt for several weeks now and gets really angry when he ends up on his belly. Yesterday morning, he finally crawled 2-3 steps. Our life will soon be changing as he is able to get to whatever and wherever he wants now.

  • Jackson is nosey...gets it honestly...and has discovered Nana's hiding spot for Santa's gifts. He surprised Nana the other day by bringing out his present and asked "Nana, did you buy this for me?"

Our life is never dull with these two boys, but I thank God that I have more time to spend with them now. And that we have a such a wonderful support group (our families) to help us make them great kids and to teach them that goats are not really that friendly (thanks Uncle Marcus)!!

My new adventure begins...

So since my drive to the "City" now consists of the big city of Farmersville, thought I would change my heading and do a quick post to say "Thank You" to everyone for their well wishes for the start of my new job tomorrow morning.

It was bitter sweet to leave GS for the final time on Friday knowing that it wasn't like my previous times, when I was actually coming back in 4 months after having a new child, this time would be my last. I was proud of myself that I didn't cry, though there were few that almost made me break down. I know that I will see a majority of them again and I have made life long friends with a few. My previous co-workers sent me off on to my new adventure with tons of food in my belly and a nice, little surprise as well.

So, tomorrow morning starts a new chapter in my life and I hope that it is going to be just as fun as the past chapters have been!
