My life for the past 3 months has been building up to this day... this moment. The moment when I am given my fait as to if I will be cashing a pay check.. or pulling unemployment. Thats right... D-DAY. This day has been a long time coming. Many frustrated nights... times when you feel like you are going to cry, throw up and poop all at the same time. Going from feeling amazing to wondering if anyone will hire you in a fraction of a second.
Yeah... these past 3 months have been anything but peachy. But today... today is a new day. Today I have a home in the AD world... and that home is somewhere fun. I know right? I'll keep all of you posted on when I start my new team (probably next week) and I'll let you know what I'll be doing.
We love and miss ya'll and I can't wait to ya'll!!!

258 days and counting
September 15, 2009. Two hundred and fifty-eight days into the year... and what a year it has been.
1. Our beautiful baby girl is over 9 months old... and has more personality than I can shake a stick at. At 9 months she is only a whopping 16.2 pounds (in the 10th percentile for her age), she has said ba ba (for her bottle), da da (for shane). She can stand up on her own (just not for very long). She has the funniest little crawl... looks like a monkey which is very appropriate for her. She has done crazy things like choreographed her own dance routine (and let us know when we needed to clap) and the thing that tops the cake... our daughter... has done a pull up... on a table. NO LIE. She never stops amazing us.
2. Found out my mom has bone marrow cancer (early stages). Talk about a kick to the crotch. God is amazing though... her doctor caught it in time so it hasn't done anything to her organs which is great! But she does have to start chemo in Oct. Please be praying for her and my family through this. My mom is a trooper and is very strong... and she has been amazing so far.
3. The account that I was on at work... well... gave us the boot... so now my job hangs in the balance. God has been amazing through this though. Some days are harder than others. When no one is calling you for an interview... you wonder are you good enough. But God has really given me a piece about it. Really... its a win win for me. 1. I loose my job (sucky) but I get to stay at home with savannah and we can save money on gas and babysitting. or 2. I keep my job and get to work on another account.
4. We've been working on the house. That has been exciting... and a pain in the butt at the same time. But once it is all said and done... we will have a finished basement that will add to our living space and we will finally have an office. Can I just tell you how excited I am about having an office. I will now have a place for my scrapbooking and my knitting. Yes... I scrapbook... and yes I knit... and NO I'm not 80... I don't think. ha!
So that is my life up to this point in time. I have had a lot of amazing things happen... and a lot of things that I could have done without. I know that Satan tries to use some of these things against me... tries to make me angry at God. God knows my heart. He knows when I hurt... and he knows if I want to blame him before it even comes out of my mouth. But God still loves me through it. And in the bad times... I remember the Lord (Nehemiah 4:14). I remember what God has done for me in the past... the valleys he has brought me out of. I remember him in those times... and I know that he is with me even now.
