Long Time Coming......

So its been about 3 months since i have posted. To those of you who read this, I am sorry. I sometimes dont know what to write, but I figure I would get you caught up.

We spent Thanksgiving and Christmas in New Mexico this year with my parents, and as always the holidays went a gazzilion times faster than we wanted them to. It was Catie J's 3rd christmas already, I cant believe she is getting so big. She loved every second of it all and got lots of barbies, I am amazed that she is already at this stage.

She is no longer a baby or a toddler, she is a little girl, an amazing little girl. We have been praying for the Lord to bless our family with another little one and she is waiting very paitently. She will lay her head on my tummy often and beg Jesus for a baby brother or sister. And then I start to cry and she starts to cry and thats when James really begins praying for a boy. She loves her friends and always asks for them to come over often. She loves to play dress up and she also likes to wrestle with her daddy. She is enamored by elephants and sleep with a stuffed elephant every night. She is going to be 3 in March and she is very excited about her birthday. She says she wants to have lots of princesses. She loves to sing and asks us to record her singing. She is such a goofball. I love staying home with her, everyday is another adventure. She loves life and doesnt miss a minute of it, unless I make her or she is sick.

James is finishing seminary this sememster and we are getting excited about options about what is next for our family. God has been so faithful and has provided so much during this time. As I talked with a friend of James' at his seminary chapel, I asked if he was graduating in may as well and he told me that he was only half way through. As we drove home that night, I realized the Lord blessed us so much with james' scholorship. We have not paid a penny for this incredible education that he is recieving. So many young families are paying so much money for this and we have been so honored and blessed with his scholorship. I dont know how we would have done it. I am also this sememster able to attend a class with him called Nurturing your Family. I have loved getting to join his world for a little bit and seeing where he is and meeting all his friends. I also love the class, we are being challenged as parents and as spouces. We love getting our 3 hours together on Tuesday nights and we love processing all week until the next class. This has been a sweet time in our life.

I am still teaching moms day out at our church just one day a week. The rest of the week, I am home, I get to hang out with Catie J and play with her. I also get to do what I love, I love cooking and cleaning. I love getting ready for James to come home, I love being a mom and a wife. I know this may sound silly to some, but I really feel like God gives women this inate longing to do these things. Or maybe im just weird. I really do feel so blessed to have a husband who works so hard, so I can stay home. Its just as important to him that I am home. I am truly blessed. Now to be honest there are definatly days where I want to stay under the covers and nevere get out of bed. But as much as anyone loves their life, im sure we all have those days.

We cling on the hope and faithfulness and grace of our precious Jesus. He loves us so much and he is always protecting and providing and teaching us. He has chosen us as His children and I am so blessed to be a child of the King. We hope and pray that we seek his wisdom and his kindom as we make decisions as parents, as spouces and as friends and as employees. Thank you Jesus for all that you give and do for us.
