is a great day. Truly, I feel at peace today, so I wanted to sit and blog a bit. I have the day off today, so I got to start it off with my boys, a visit from a friend (and two of her kiddos), and now I'm enjoying a delightful muffin and a cup of coffee. I honestly haven't felt this content for a long time. I love how God showers us with grace when we least expect it (or perhaps he does it frequently and I'm not quiet enough to receive it).
I haven't been on here in a while because things have been a bit scattered and I didn't think I could organize my thoughts enough to post. We're settling into a routine and doing well. Work has started off wonderfully. I'm trying to be patient as I build my practice, but I'm grateful to have good, fun people to work alongside daily. Its a bit intimidating, as you can imagine, but I pray that my decisions and actions are guided by the holy spirit. Dale is an AWESOME stay at home dad. We have a great set-up here, and we have hired a nanny to come for a few hours in the afternoon to give him a break. Logan absolutely loves her and she helps me out a ton so that I'm not bombarded with household chores when I get home. I don't feel guilty when I sit down to read for pleasure in the evenings. We still have the radar on for a job for Dale, but we're not anxious because things are working wonderfully for now. Occasionally I have time to run home for lunch which is a huge perk as well.
We've been showered with blessings as we work to become part of this community. Smack dab in the middle of our chaos with all of the transition, we learned some big news as well--We are expecting another baby in August! At first we were certainly overwhelmed and nervous, as you can imagine. I can't lie; I feel plenty of anxiousness and occasionally guilt for some reason, but we have been so blessed thus far. We ask for your prayers as we venture through another pregnancy. I've felt so good, and made it through my first hormonal day yesterday. I suppose this is an answer to prayers for patience as well as the desire to surrender control. Slowly, I'm losing control, thank God!
I pray you have a great day. I'll try to keep you posted here as we journey along. I'll leave you with a photo of our little scholar (who may have been set up by his uncle).

Congratulations - woo hoo!! We will continue to pray for your growing family as you are a wonderful mom. I love the updates and excitement that comes back from Central City :) Good luck and continue to feel good. Try not to make life so exciting so this baby is not quite so anxious to get here. Best wishes!!!
Michelle and Dale - congratulations! I'm so glad to hear the transition to your new town is going well.
I am excited for you and always have an ear to bend your way (or a late night conference via facebook since that works pretty well for us). John Lennon once said, "Life is what happens when you are making other plans."
