The beginning

I think this whole blogging thing will definitely grow on me, but right now, I feel completely at a loss as to what to write and how to begin.

My life has drastically changed over the last two years. I got married to the most perfect guy in the world for me and moved from South Carolina to Florida. We lived there for almost a year while I taught preschool at his home church and he led the youth group. It was a hectic and most definitely not your typical "first-year-of-marriage". We have joked since then that we jumped right into our 3rd or 4th year of marriage. Looking back I believe God was preparing us and accelerating our marriage since He knew that we had a surprise in store during the second year of our marriage. . .

In August of 2006 we moved back to South Carolina since we sensed the Lord leading us to to mission field and Rob believed he needed to get more training. I taught a Special Ed 2nd and 3rd grade Learning Disabled Self-contained class that year at Chandler Creek Elementary School in Greer, and Rob went to school first time.

Two days before I turned 25 I found out we were expecting, despite using contraceptives. :) We were thrilled from the very first moment of realization! We kept it a secret for almost 12 weeks and told the family on Christmas Eve. Jacob David was born on July 24, 2007 and has been the delight of our hearts ever since. I cannot conceive having more children and being able to love them as much as I love him. I guess God just grows more room in your heart or something. . .

Jake is 5 1/2 months old and he already sits alone and tomorrow we are going to start eating cereal. He loves to smile and talk and desperately wants to be able to crawl, but hasn't quite figured that out yet. He loves his Baby Einstein Exersaucer he got for Christmas from Granmommy and Grandaddy and enjoys bouncing in it and playing with all the different gadgets on it.

Well. I think that's a start. . . we'll see if I get better at this. :)
