Thanks for the prayers!

So we've got a bite on our house hooray! We've agreed on a price and if everything goes through our closing date will be in early August! The inspection and appraisal is still to come so don't stop praying yet :) It's gone smoothly so far. We loved our house but are glad that it's selling. We have very precious memories in this house and we pray that it blesses it's new owner with equally wonderful moments! Thanks for all your prayers, they worked!

Past week

So I know I haven't been posting a whole lot lately... thats because I keep forgetting to take my camera anywhere! I'm going to try and get better about that :)

So no pictures but heres what we've been up to... Last night we had dinner with our friends Jeff and Kelli Gossmann. They were in town for the night and we had a blast with them. We had dinner then went and cruised the mall haha. It was so great to see them! Adom and their son Gabe played and laughed all evening. Dang I can't believe neither one of us had a camera :(

This past weekend we met up with some friends and watched the fireworks. It was great! Although Adom was terrified the first 5 minutes he eventually gave in and laid on my lap and watched as we all ooohed and aaahhed. Then Saturday we met my Dad and his friend Barbara (AKA Babs) in Waco and spent a wonderful day with them stuffing our faces with cajun food and napping at her house.

I think we wore Adom completely out! He unfortunately suffers from allergies like the rest of us and they really got to him over the weekend but I think hes finally recovering. And on top of all that we took the beloved pacifier (AKA mimi) away for good :( He's done really well without it, he asks about it once in a while but we just tell him it's "broken" haha!

To add to my suffering, I bought my baby boy his first potty last week! Hes getting so big so quick! He's not using the potty yet, I just wanted him to get used to seeing it around :) He is such an easy kid I'm hoping potty training will be as easy as everything else has been. But I'm not holding my breath!

We're also awaiting the arrival of our good friends, Ryan and Marissa Neal's baby girl Emery Joy. We can't wait to meet her! I guessed she would arrive TODAY so we'll see if I was right!

Oh and we were just informed that someone put an offer on our house in Kerrville! So please be praying that everything works out and we can sell our house! Wow this turned out to be a long post, sorry. Please check out our family web album for updated pictures! The link is to the right on this page :) God Bless and thanks for reading!

Whats goin on?

He's casual, hes cool... Shes into him. haha! He's a Ladies man!

A must read

"Deadline" by Randy Alcorn is one of the best books I've ever read! I love this author, he also wrote "Safely Home" which is equally as good. I love the heated political arguments that are in this book and the way that he describes heaven is overwhelming. I find myself crying with an outstanding sense of joy one minute then crying with immense sadness the next. I love it! If you like christian novels than this should definitely be on your "next to read" list!

Oh My!

I found out today how many inches I've lost over all in the last month... I'm sure your all dying to know ;)


6.5 inches!!!


I'm excited so I wanted to share that with my family and friends. Thank you for all the support! Love you guys!

Who Knew?!

A healthy diet and excercise is all you need to do to get back into shape! Psh, ya right!

That's what I thought anyways! I was like your kidding me, all I have to do is go to the gym at least 3 times a week and eat better than I was?!

The gym part has been great I LOVE going and so does Adom! The excercise makes me feel 10 times better than I did before. And as for "dieting" I really haven't been... just eating healthier and teaching myself to stop eating when I'm full (portion control).

So results? Drum roll please......... I've lost 8 lbs and I've lost 5% of my over all body fat in one month! I'll hopefully know how many inches I've lost over all by Friday. My goal is to lose another 12 lbs then i'll set a new goal after that. I'm sure you all desperately wanted to know all this information... sorry. I'm just excited that I'm seeing results!

Thanks for reading and God Bless!

A little homesick

So of course I like to torture myself once in a while and roam through all of our old pictures on the computer... these got me! I miss everyone! I miss the familiararity of Kerrville, and know that on days when I don't have anything to do that I can go down the road to Verna's and spend the day on her awesome porch!

Don't get me wrong, i like it here. It's new and exciting and theres tons of stuff to do. But I miss our friends and family back home.

So I've "Ventured into the Unknown" do I like it? Well, I do and I don't. I like that I'm able to join a gym here that provides childcare, I love all the parks and family friendly stuff to do thats available, I like that we have Dustin and Jessica next door (thats been a HUGE blessing). I really like the area that we live in as well. And we've recently found a home church! It's awesome and we truly feel blessed to have found it.

I don't like not having a whole lot to do during the day. We wake up go to the gym come home. That about sums up mine and Adom's day for ya. We both look forward to 5:45 all day long, when Greg walks through the door. I miss knowing where everything is. It took me forever just to find a bank! I had to drive 30 minutes away for a walmart with an oil change station (there was one closer but it's really dirty). Oh and I miss HEB terribly! Don't ask me why I just DO!

So here is a list of things that I hope happen in the next few months...
1. I pray that we either sell or rent out our house in Kerrville!
2. That I make friends in the area.
3. Lose weight haha (had to throw that one in)
4. That I start the feel like this IS home.
5. Become involved in our new church ( i know this will help with everything on this list).

So to sum it all up I really do like it here. I mainly miss the people! I know the Lord has brought us here to bless us. I can't wait to see what he has in store for us here in the Fort Worth area! Please keep us in your prayers as we are all still adjusting to city life :) Oh by the way Greg really likes his job it is a tremendous blessing on our lives!
