A peek into our home in Hendrix Village for the next few weeks. Derek's bosses are so generous to let us stay there while we wait to move into our downtown home. Hello Panera visits every single day!!

too much not to share

there is so much going on in our lives these days, i just had to share. tonight, derek and i are having a "packing date night". we will be moving from our home of just one year, to a temporary home/with my parents until march. in march we will be moving to one of my most favorite houses in conway. i mean, i just love it! it was built in 1929, is in the downtown area, and has a white picket fence. to make it even better, my parents are purchasing the other half of the lot from us(it's a double lot) and are building next door to us (as long as all goes as planned with the historic district committee and the planning commission). we are thrilled with the idea of them living next door. it will be fun for the boys to grow up next to their nana and papa. now if we could just get derek's parents to move here, we'd be all set! in other news, i have been off of work during my first year of teaching for 13 days total. that is 13 days that sam has had a fever or an earache since august. poor baby boy. we are attempting to use and be consistent with essential oils starting this week, so we will see how that goes. i was off yesterday with him, but he is now on meds, and is at school today. praying he stays well the rest of the year. speaking of praying, never have i ever learned so much about jesus, and grace, and mercy, and prayer, and peace than i have this year. as soon as i got this teaching job, i was scared out of my mind about being away from my babies, but there has been miracle after miracle that have taken place to make this a fantastic year. one of those miracles being that i learned to actually trust in god's promises after 28 years of life. and boy does it feel good! goodness i have so much more to learn, but i've come a long way in just 5 months. more to come. i just have a feeling i'll be writing here more often.
