As I reflect back on my life so far I have realized that I'm really just an average girl, with an average life, living with an average disease. But what I do have is an AMAZING God who continues to blow me away with His love and His grace in my life. This is my attempt at putting into writing my journey so far.

Hello everyone! Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. How did the thanksgiving run go? I wish I would have fun 3 miles before eating all that good food last weekend. Tis the season! We had a good time last weekend. It was fun shopping with ya Em! I bought a tv for our bedroom so now our old one can go into the guest room. I'm excited to decorate our guest room. It's going to be a the best room in the house I think. Well other than the nursery. We found some cool furniture at Meijer. It looks kind of IKEAish. And the IKEA end table that I bought We love guests so anyone can come and stay with us anytime!

As Ryan's blog mentioned we are closing on our house this Friday and moving in on Sunday! I still can't believe that this time next week, I could be blogging at my desk in our loft! We got a lot of packing done last night. God gave me some great revelation yesterday which was much needed. I was just getting really stressed with everything that needed to get done and I was getting headaches and not sleeping well. So I was praying for peace yesterday when God opened my eyes to what I was stressed about. I was stressed about packing to move into a beautiful home that He has blessed us with. I was stressed about getting my work done with an awesome job that I am able to stay home with Hannah. I felt so freed, yet so selfish! So no more complaining from me! I Praise God that we have a ton of stuff to do to get ready for our house and I Praise God that I have a lot of work to do with this great job and I Praise God that I have a beautiful little baby that takes up alot of my time that would otherwise be spent on something so much less unfulfilling. I hate when I get stuck in those selfish ruts.

Hannah is doing great. On her 2nd month birthday in Cincinnati last weekend she put herself back to sleep! I was such a proud mama! And now she's been napping great. She's so much more active and happy now too when she's awake. She's been discovering her voice this week and has been cooing and squealing. You would be proud Trace...I think she'll be an early talker...of course she could just continue to babble until she's 5 too. :) She got her first shots yesterday. :( It was the saddest cry I have ever heard. I tried not to, but I teared up myself. But she's happy as a lark now. (by the way, what is a lark and why are they happy, no one's been able to tell me?)

I was watching the Today show last week and heard about a family in Bowling Green, OH that has 29 kids. Have you guys heard of them? I think they are the Newsons or something like that. I figured they would be pretty known up there. Their new house is like the size of a warehouse with elevators and everything.

so anyhoo guess i should work now. have a great week everyone!
