I am that mom...

WELL....He's finally here!  :)

It was definitely long awaited and now that he's here...we aren't sure what we did before him.

The labor and delivery was long and probably the hardest and scariest thing I have ever done in my life.  But I made it and no expletives nor harsh words were said towards Kraig or anyone else for that matter.    Kraig and I made it through the 22 hours and now have a healthy, beautiful baby boy.  And NOW, we are THOSE parents.  You know who I am talking about...

 We just sit and watch him.
 We talk about him.
 I have already called the doctor asking about concerns I had.
 We don't really leave him out of our sight.
 We make sure he's breathing at all times.
 We take tons of pictures and post them to facebook...yep, we do....don't judge.

I never thought I would turn into THAT mom, but I have.  I can't get enough of him...

I'm not sure about this whole motherhood thing yet.  I have in no way have it down...I mean, we are only a week in so I feel like I should have lots of room to grow.  I just know that right now, I am thankful for a healthy baby boy and the rest is trying to survive and get a shower when I can. :)

 We also moved into our new house this weekend.  I am overwhelmed by the fact that I have to decorate it now and have it organized but the thing is, I used to be a pretty organized person.  Kraig once said he admired that about me.  However, I have slacked on my ability to keep things organized so I have to connect to that old organization skill and bring it back to life to get our house in ORDER because it is so NOT right now and I have no idea where to begin.  Good thing Kraig is off for another month and a half and I have don't have to work next year either ~ Right!?  O well, I will for sure keep you updated on how the organization goes because I have a few projects via Pinterest up my sleeve.  :) Pics to come.

And of course, pics of Rett to come too.  We did have newborn pics today so those will be shown to everyone who will look at him.  I mean, he's handsome so everyone should get to have there facebook feed taken up by him.  :)  Again, I have become that mom.

Sorry, folks.  I will though try to limit the pics to every few days and not every hour, how about that?

goodness...will it ever stop?!

Without further adieu.... Kraig and I have been called to a little church out in the valley to serve as youth pastor (and wifey). What a drastic change this will be!?! But a blessing that I never saw coming :) Kraig has been struggling off and on for about a year now about youth ministry and his (our) role with youth. He knew he loved teaching at OCA and we both loved serving the youth at Oakwood. Kraig just wasn't sure if there was more to his struggle than just teaching and just serving at the capacity that we were in. So, with lots of prayer and searching the scripture, Kraig knew that we were supposed to do something more. Well, that was that. We didn't pursue anything, we had a lot going on at our church and we were just getting into the swing of things and really enjoying our youth. About January...I guess... L O N G S T O R Y short ....Kraig got a call from a pastor that I have known probably as long as I have been in the Chickamauga area...and Kraig met thr...

Well - in DUE time all news will come out

I don't even know where to begin... I guess the most recent news would be that we are going to have a surprise visit from the stork in June and it's a BOY! I am sure I will update more later because it being a surprise has come many other surprises that we have had to work through so that is all DUE time. :) Also, I think last I wrote, my dad was being shipped off to Kuwait. Well, he's back and working in Nashville as the Senior Enlisted Leader for the state of Tennessee. He's pretty important. We are so very proud of him. He does his job well. We are trying to buy a house. That's another big thing going on in our lives. Mainly because we have a new addition and we need to be more stablized. Maybe so, maybe not...but we feel like this is the next move that we should make. Now, if only we could find a house :) In DUE time again, I'm sure the Lord will place the perfect house in front of us. So, PLEASE, PLEASE pray we can find something suitable for u...

Funeral, house, and thoughts

Now that I have had a few days to re coop and process the last few weeks and months...I can share some of the thoughts that have crossed my mind in the midst of it all and some of the lessons that I learned from family and Gran the past few weeks. I love my family.  All of them.  My Gran had 8 kids, they had 21 grand kids and now we are working on 20 great grand kids (I hope my numbers are right).  We have a huge family.  We are all different, come from different walks of life now but as my Aunt Dodie said at the funeral, Gran has taught us to love each other and not let strife come between us.  I think we do a pretty good job of loving each other.  I loved getting to sit with my aunts and uncles many nights that we were at Gran's and listen to stories of their childhoods and about their parents.  It was a great time.  We had a very unique few weeks especially leading up to my Gran's death.  Not many people can say that they got to say goo...
