things are a changin'

So my best friend Lauren is moving to Oregon and yesterday was her last day at church. Before I had even left my house I was sitting in bed feeding Gabriella when I realized that we are changing seasons. Obviously for Lauren she's moving to another State and a lot of stuff is changing for her. But for me and my family I feel the same thing. We're not moving or anything, but I still feel like there is a change happening.

Since my blog a while back about making new friends, the Lord has brought so many new people into my life. I'm really excited about the friendships that are being formed because I believe I could learn a lot from these ladies.

I also feel a change that isn't exactly what one might think of when they think of change. I finally feel like our house is our home. On August 26th it will be one year since we closed on our house and September 6th will be one year that we moved in. A few weeks ago I was walking around upstairs and I had this thought/feeling that we were finally settled in our home. It's a nice feeling.

I've been a stay at home mom now for 8 months and I really feel like I'm settling into that title. I have come to the place of feeling happy about what I do and how I do it. I enjoy being home, regardless if we have a car or not. I've been working with Jayden on his colors, numbers, alphabet, words, obedience, etc. and I love having the time and ability to do that! I love being able to watch Gabriella grow before my eyes everyday, she's constantly learning something new.

I also feel like this is the first time in my marriage that there hasn't been a big event about to happen.. like moving to another State, new jobs, a baby, a house, another baby, etc.

I'm trusting that God has something great in store for us, but I'm looking forward to just being home and enjoying the time with my family.
