Looks like I have a correction for where we are going in July...Dothan, Alabama is actually where we will be going.  I printed off a visitors guide today.  I'm really excited about visiting there.  I just wish that I could take my friends & family with me.  I don't want to move away from them...

And since I have the floor...ha!...I just like to say that my husband is amazing!  I was feeling really crappy last night and he grabbed the dogs and took us for a walk around the block!  It was so sweet!!!

So I'm a day late writing about our ideas with our "after Robert graduates adventures"...

I'll go ahead and tell about the job in Alabama.  It's an extremely specialized job but it pays really well!  We would have to move to Fort Rucker, Alabama, I think it's about 8 hours from here, but only 2 hours from the coast-I mean that's totally why we are considering this! hahaha!  No not really, ok maybe...
We are actually scheduling a trip to visit the area in July.  We even researched the local photographers-I think we'll be a hit!  ha!  This job def. wouldn't be a permanent one it would just provide the opportunity for us to get out of debt and secure the needs that we have so that we would able to move freely about the world, wherever God calls, and not worry about everything that seems to plague us now! 
If your my family and your reading this, don't freak out-nothing is set in stone!!

Pregnancy...
Oh gosh...this has been a rough few days!  I am past exhausted!  I just want to wake up feeling refreshed...when is that going to happen?  I woke up this morning and my pants that fit fine on Saturday are now about an inch too small and my stomach is so HARD!  So it begins!  I'm thankful that my mom bought me a Belly Band-thats the only reason I have pants to wear to work!  ha!  Ok...well I'm honestly too tired to keep this going...

I'll be back soon!  Over and out-yeah I know it's cheesy!  But my husband thinks I'm cute!

New Beginnings...

My mom kept telling me I need to write down my thoughts...I heard her but I HATE writing...so here's my compromise...I'll blog! 

There may be nothing here worth reading but I'll give it a shot anyway...We are going through so many life changes in the next year-one of those being that we are having a baby!!  The other(s) being Robert will graduate from A&P school in march 2012 and then, oh boy!  I won't drop the whole can of worms in one evening! 

But that's the purpose of this blog, to tell about our life, what we are going through, for those of you who love and support us-now you can secretly stalk us and know what is up, and for us to be able to look back and see what ALL has happened! 

I'll start with the best news of all...the baby!  We were shocked!!  But we are extremely excited.  I don't think I've heard that much screaming in a long time!  ha!  It's been a really hard 10 weeks so far, I didn't realize how absolutely exhausted I could get, no worries, I now know!  We trust in God's timing-it's perfect!!

 

Robert's school...

I don't remember all of the gooey details but I remember waking up one day thinking "what are we doing".  We were sending Robert to an 18 month school five days a week attached to an $8,000 bill!  Like every sane woman I panicked about how we would pay our bills and eat and buy clothes ;-)  I seriously thought we had lost our minds!  But here we are 1/2 way through his 18 months and God's provided in random and incredible ways!  We haven't had to pay a single dime towards Robert's education and as far as we can tell he will graduate being fully paid for!  Praise the Lord!  Now comes the truly trying part...what do we do when he graduates?  We've thrown around so many ideas and prayed over so many things only to find ourselves exactly where we started.  If you know me at all you know that I can't stand that!  I want to know what's going to happen when and why and how!  I'm a planner!

Not to worry I will bore you with all the details of those ideas tomorrow...till then...

Over and Out - Is that cheesy?  ha!
