MOVING! 

We are about to embark on, what I HOPE, will be our last move for awhile! If you don't know, we move...we move ALOT! Shall I list them for fun! OK...here I go. I'll just count the number of times we have moved in less that 3 years (basically two weeks after Sarah, our 1st child, was born.) We had bought our first house in Picayune, MS then we went to Fort Walton, Fl -->Albany, Ga --> Tuscaloosa, AL (where we had Noah and when he was less than two weeks old, Mike went to Kuwait, we also moved twice while we were in AL) --> then we went to Ridgecrest, CA--> back to Tuscaloosa, AL (where I thought for sure we would be FOREVER) but no...--> then to Charleston, SC and then, SOMEHOW we came back to where we started --> Pearl River, LA (right next to Picayune, Ms)  Did you get all that? hehe!

Yes thats 8 times we have moved in LESS than 3 years....I don't know about you...but its been just about enough to drive me bananas! just FYI thats not including the 4 times we moved before we had kids....and we have been married only 5 years.... 12 moves in 5 years...see what I mean...at times I know Im going crazy!! (oh and we had two babies in between all this...who are 10 months apart....yeah..thats another blog) :)

Well now that I have vented about all my moving (I do tend to talk alot about it...because I'M SOOO OVER IT) But like any trial or challenge in life, there have been HUGE blessings along the way. There is no doubt that over the past few years, I admit I have not been as close with the Lord as I would like. I've been stressed, stressed and stressed!  I tend to forget all the blessings...focus to much on how stressed I am. Of course the two most important blessings to me are Sarah and Noah! I could not have made it thru all this without them! Blessings have come in all forms the past few years...people we met, places we have seen, Mike's job/ clearance levels, familly, just the smallest of things.

As we embark on this next move I just want to pray for guidance, peace and happiness with my little family! I have peace about it, getting "settled" I guess you would call it. I have so many important things to be doing in this life, other than moving...I mean have you seen my pinterst board! hehe!!!

I do pray that we find a church soon! That has been a HUGE missing link in my life. We try churches when we move, but have yet to stay anywhere long enough to get involved! And I do love being involved in a church! Say a pray for us!

MOVING DAY: JULY 28th!

LET THE COUNT DOWN BEGIN!

What have we been up too!?

           First let me start with Sarah! She is growing so fast! I can not believe how big she is getting. She speaks sentences now and can learn a word or words in an instant...which is SCARY! Gosh is her favorite word...or rather... OH GOSH! She is deathly scared of bugs (or any speck of...ANYTHING that might resemble a bug). When she sees something or an actual bug she yells..."momma...MOMMA!" and I have to say...."Momma get that bug!"....to calm her down. She is very funny and very much a little girl!                                                   

                                                 

OH...and she loves her picture being taken....Can you tell!?

Now to Noah...He...of course...is getting SO BIG! He is now walking and tries to talk. He will say Momma, bye-bye and ball. He likes to point to things and tries to say it. Its very cute! We never knew how many planes we would see living so close to Charleston, but we see ALOT! Whenever one flies over, Noah's eyes get really big and he points straight up! He wants to be like 'Big sis" so much. He is 15 months going on 5! He does not want any help eating, drinking or walking...nothing! Mr. Independant! He has the funniest expressions and you can tell by the way he looks at you what he is thinking!

Momma's Sweet Baby Boy!

Side Note: Hope to get Blogging alot more so I can document better this years! It has gone by so fast already! Going to be working on a recap of the past couple years!
