New beginnings in March!

It's March- isn't that exciting? That means one step closer to beautiful weather, which means: one day closer to playing OUTSIDE with my baby! Hallelujah!!!!! I was about ready to book our tickets back to Cali.. ;)

Well, we have some really exciting news this month.. (No, I am NOT pregnant again! You won't be seeing that exciting news for a few years, friends.)! Jaymes got a job!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's been hired by the "AME Group" (Advanced Microelectronics) in South Bend as their network engineer! He starts on the 14th with a week long training course in Indianapolis. After all that's said and done, he'll be working out of their South Bend office. This job is such a huge blessing to our family. It's full time, with full benefits.. and that's exactly what we needed. Now, I'll be able to stay home with little Ayden until it's time for him to start school, just as planned. We are blessed, and SO thankful for God's provision in our life's! Thank you to everyone who prayed for this job to come along, we cannot explain how much we appreciate it!

Since this blogging thing doesn't happen very often anymore- I suppose I'll update on the rest too.

Ayden James will be 6 months old in T-3 days. Excuse my language, but HOLY CRAP. That's his HALF birthday. That makes him HALF of a year old. That means only 6 more months until he IS 1 year old. Really, I'm still trying to figure out where the past 6 months have gone. He is learning at the speed of lightning! He's sitting up almost perfectly, learning lots of new emotions, and within the next month he will be crawling. He is beautiful, he is healthy, and he is happy (when he isn't teething)! We really couldn't have asked for a more perfect child! Thank you, Lord, for Ayden.

I just have to add a little paragraph or so on how amazing my friends are. I have such a great group of friends that encourage me daily! Recently, a dear friend sent me SUCH a sweet message about how much she looks up to me & how she thinks I'm such a great mother/wife/woman. I think she must have sent the message to the wrong person, because I fall short SO many times (if only she knew!) I'm so happy that I, also, encourage my friends. THAT is what friendship is about.

Last but not least: we've been on the hunt for a good church in this state for the past few months. We're happy to say that we have it narrowed down to 2 churches and will have a final decision by Sunday, March 13th! God is in very the center of this decision- we're not basing it off of who wants us where, not even necessarily what we feel would be easiest for us, but by where HE can use us the most. With all of that said, this will not be an easy choice & your prayers for us as we decide would be greatly appreciated as well!

Time for bed, hope you all enjoyed :)

God bless!
