We have a name :)

We are back from vacation! RELAX, RELAX and RELAX...that was my motto for the week. :)

We had a great doctor visit last week. Baby G is looking good. Have to go back next week for the Diabetes test. yay... Then we go every 2 weeks. He will be here before we know it.

We registered at Target last week. Loads of fun. :) I guess things are starting to come together.

We are starting to mark things off our to-do list. I always love that.

We started at the new church today, with a sunrise service. This is a big deal. I have never been to a sunrise service and they expect me to be there and be nice. We had to pray that I am awake and presentable because early mornings are not my thing. We are so very excited and can't wait for what awaits us with this new group of kids. :)

We put a bid in on a house and they accepted. We have had the inspection and everything looks great so we are on to the next step. We hope to be moved by the end of May but we sure would love to be in there before that, that's our hope anyways.

Well, Baby G's name as most of you know has been a sore spot (some may say :)) for Kraig and me. We could not agree on anything! If I liked something, Kraig vetoed...if he liked something...it was often times just a joke because he could not be serious about it. So, we finally made some progress and nailed down a few ideas.

And his name is....

Kraig Everett Givens III
BUT
we will call him Rett taken from the end of Everett

I got a side hustle....

I recently became a shampoo girl... I wasn't looking for anything different.  I started a new job over the summer at Lighthouse Foster Care which I absolutely love.  I love the flexibility of it.  I love the atmosphere.  I love learning the ins and outs of foster care and eventually adoption.  I love serving the families and helping the agency grow because I truly believe it is the best in the area.  I love it. BUT.... As much as I love it and love serving in that capacity....THE LORD kept tugging at my heart... "Ashleigh, you need to get out more...Ashleigh, you have a gift....Ashleigh, are you loving people the best way you know how?" While none of these things have to do with shampoo or foster care, it does have to do with getting outside of my bubble.  I really struggle with being around people and a lot of people for that matter.  I have to do it in spurts and I have to prepare myself for it.  But THE LORD kept saying..."Ashlei...

New additions....new life....

I'm going to get this another shot.  It is such a great outlet to let our family see pics of my kids and share our lives.  So...here goes. Here is just a snapshot of what you can expect as I kick this back up.... I don't think I have posted since 2015....so we had another kid.  My parent's bought a family farm so we are all out living on the Holland Homestead that I have so named it.  We have chickens!  The Lord has worked so many things out so I look forward to sharing with you those answered prayers.  I got a new job which I love.  Kraig's job has shifted.  We love our youth group and church.  Ya know....God is just so good and He provides beyond our wildest dreams. Life can still be messy and I look forward to sharing those stories with you too but here we are...just a family of 4 living life and loving Jesus through it. I look forward to sharing our lives with you and all the bumps and bruises along the way.

Live Love

Over Valentine's weekend, Kraig and I took a group of our youth along with our friends at First Baptist Lakeview down to Atlanta to the International Village for a mission trip/retreat. I have to confess....I was beyond stressed out.  I was imagining anything and everything to go wrong. This was the first trip that we completely did ourselves.  Usually, we go along with others and go to some big retreat where we have to plan NOTHING!  But with this, we had to plan EVERYTHING.  So, I was scared of forgetting things, how everything would work out, and what things could go wrong. Well, GOD IS GOOD...ALL THE TIME, GOD IS GOOD!  We arrived late Friday night and had a great start off to the weekend.  Mitchell and Kraig did a great job all weekend with the main talks.  And the music was wonderful.  But the main part of the days were doing the missions. Both Saturday and Sunday we went to different apartment complexes and played with kids and shared...
