I never seem to have time to blog.....

Good morning ! I hope y'all enjoy the picture of Trevor taken a couple of months ago : ) Isn't he a cutie ? I know, I'm a little prejudiced :D

James and I found out a couple of months ago that Trevor will be a big brother ! January 9th is when the little one is supposed to come !

Finally able to post once again !

I have been having trouble posting for a few months now and that is why you have not been able to see any updates !

We moved from our house in Stanwood back to Marysville : ) We are LOVING our new home and it is an 80% increase of what we were living in : ) PTL !

I now know why God had us live where He did.... { In my view, anyway ! } It was to work contentment in my life. I was not content where we were living, and made a point every month, telling my husband how much I hated living there ! How terrible was that ?! And so, in December, I came to the point of, this is where the Lord has us and I'd better just keep my big mouth shut and not say anything more ! Plus, I asked God to not change James' mind about living there, and want to move but, rather change me. And that's exactly what happened.

Then, in January, James comes to me and tells that it is time to move somewhere else !!!! Wow ! I never expected God to do that ! Thank you, Jesus ! So, on Valentines day, we moved back to Marysville. That night, after we were all moved in, We went to bed and I found a box of chocolates and a sweet note from my dear husband ! We also have wonderful landlords and live by a trail IO can walk on : )

Trevor is growing so big now !!! He started crawling last month and is now eating more solids. He continues to be such a blessing and joy to have around here ! I definatly would love an abundance of kids !! I'm so glad to have a husband who is allowing God to lead us in that area : )

Well, I hope that updates you for now, I hope to blog more often if I can !

Mmm.... It's a hot cocoa kind of day !

Yummy ! I've got my cup of hot cocoa as I sit here and type.

Our laptop acts weird sometimes, it won't let me go into blogspot and that's why I've not written since December. It's actually my husbands laptop, I just like to claim it's " Ours " :) I sold my car { The only " expensive thing I owned ! } because James had two cars thus the reason to sell mine !

So I came into the marriage with his laptop, his house, his car, etc etc, etc :D He is very sweet to remind me all the time when I ask to use like his i touch " You don't need to ask me, it's OURS " !!!! I like the feeling of sharing everything : )

So, you ask me, what have I learned the past month ? Well, I'm still learning how to be a mama, Trevor has been such a joy in our life it's hard to believe he will be five months on the 26th.

This Friday, we're going down to James' grandparents with his dad and sister where we will spend the night and get up the next morning for California ! It will be the second time in my life of going :D James' dad's family lives down there and they have yet to see Trevor so, thus the reason to go down ! And visit too, of course !

One of my New Years resolutions was to finish everything I start { Part of it is for me, and the other for my handsome husband ! }

So, I guess that's enough updating for now, I hope you all are having a great new year !

You were created to be his helpmeet....

Thinking of those who are married, or who are going to be, or wanting to be someday - This is for you ! I was reading my book called " The Excellent Wife " and, in there I was reminded that I was created for James. What does that mean ? Back in the beginning, God took a rib from Adam to make Eve. She was made from the man ! And because of their sin, one of the things a husband and wife will always struggle with is being the head over the other. Now, we know clearly from the Bible that the husband is head over the wife. But, we will still try to take the reigns from our husbands. It may be because we are fearful, that he will make a bad choice, or that he really does not know what he is doing. But, we are reminded through God's word that our husbands are accountable to Him for ALL the choice's they make in this life. How big of a relief that is to me ! I am so thankful to be lead by James !

Just a thought for today :)

So thankful for my life !

I was musing yesterday about the salvation God gave me, my wonderful husband and my very sweet son : ) Yesterday was kinda a hard day for me, something happened on Friday morning that made me want to cry but I just stuffed it down. Then, on Saturday, something else happened that, someone had said that they knew more about being a mother { This person is not married or have any kids } and that I was basically not a very good mother. Well, I finally lost it and everything came out from the day before as well and I cried on my husband.

Oh, where would I be without James ? I tend to always wear my emotions on my sleeve and I decided to deactivate my fb account for a while. I need to try to be more careful about what I put on fb from now on, and having a break will make me focus more on my relationship with Christ, James and Trevor. I am glad I'm taking a break : ) Feels so much more freeing to not have to go and check fb !!

What are your plans for December ? James and I love entertaining so we are having three families over for dinner this week { All on different nights ! } and going over to some friends.

You know, having people over for dinner is such a lost art.... Why not have some people over for dinner this month ?

God bless and have a great week !

What a day, yesterday !

So, yesterday is my family's annual going over to Yakima to set up my dad's hunting camp day and I missed last year and was really excited to go this year :D James and I got up @ 4am, got dressed, made our lunch and headed to my parents. We arrived and my dad said my mom would not be going because she had a cold : ( She was really diasppointed and I so wanted to stay and help make her feel better. Anyway, we all got loaded up in my parents suburban and headed on our way ! We got to Duvall and stopped. My dad said we had to turn around because the car was missing and that only the guys could go { Which meant my dad, James, Aaron, and a friend of his } my sisters and I were really sad and so, when we drove all the way back to the house { Which was in Arlington } I took them out to breakfast after the guys had left and we went to the library, got mom some stuff @ the store and so Trevor and I spent the day at my parents house until they came home at 9:00. Whew ! What a day !

On Friday, I went to my old workplace and got some fruits and veggies, and went to Haggens and got some food, and then to the library for some movies, and then to Dairy Queen for lunch and then came home to put dinner in the crockpot for some friends that were coming for dinner, made an apple pie : ) And then I put together some yams for my church's annual Thanksgiving dinner this afternoon ! Our friends cmae over about 7 and left at 10. What a day, again !

Life never goes as we plan, does it ?

You know, I am so thankful God is in control and that He knows what we need when we need it ! My husband got laid off two weeks ago, and we applied for two jobs. One of them we really wanted, and we waited for the phone call and we did not get it : ( Still waiting on the other one though and we are praying that one will go through.

Today, James went to work for a little bit,and then went to the chiopractor . And so about 9:30, I got up and gave Trevor his second feeding and while I was doing that, I heard the doorknob turn and someone put the key in and.... My heart started pumping and I got up really quick and locked our bedroom door. I waited and tried to call James but, there was no answer ! Then, I heard the footsteps come to our door, they turned it and waited for a long 5 seconds...... Finally, I hear James' voice asking " What's wrong " ? WHEW ! I opened the door and he held me while I explained it all to him. I guess coming home early was his plan all along : ) I just didn't know about it. And then, James has had this cough for a couple of weeks and we decided to take him to the clinic and we found out he has triceitus. Whatever that is ! We got the medecations and he is on the mend : ) All that to say, we were like " How are we going to pay for this, when we have bills up to our ears, bla bla bla. " But, we know God is sovereign and He is going to provide all we need for the moment !

James is such a hard worker and I am so thankful he has side work to keep us going :D

Well, we are know on our way to his folks for dinner, have a great evening !
