Life is getting tricky again...please keep us in your prayers.

So I tried and failed at documenting a whole day. I started out good and then just got lazy and/or forgot. But I will post what I did get soon....so stay tuned.

On another note, Jude has been driving me crazy.

Thunder and lightening are awesome. I love this weather!

The roommates are out of town for two weeks and the house is rather quiet right now, it's kinda strange. I think I am going to go full force potty training with Jude next week. I am excited about it and nervous. Hopefully it only takes the three days I was told it will.

Jude, Jesse and I have a Saturday free to spend together doing whatever we want. I think I am going to bring my camera with us and document the day. It's been a long time since I have done recreational photography and I am really missing it. I was telling Jesse lastnight during our game of Uno that I just want to go out and take pictures of flowers, with film, like we used to do in our dating years. Sometimes it's just nice to take a photo without an expected outcome.

Weddings are really picking up this year, we have 11 already booked and more inquiries coming in. We are so excited! Life is such a blessing right now, and I really thought I wouldn't be able to say this for a long time, but God is so good. Jesse and I started a Wednesday (formerly Tuesday) night home group, and even though no one comes but our roommates it has been pretty good. I feel that God is building Jesse and I back up and we are really learning a lot, I am getting a completely new perspective of who God is.

Jude is growing like a weed. I can't believe that he has already become his own person. He will be 2 in May and we have already started the very beginning stages of potty training. He thinks it's really fun to sit on the potty with his pants around his ankles.

If you want to come to our home group it's Wednesday nights at 7pm at our home in SLO, 614 Rancho Oaks Drive...we would LOVE to see you there.

Ok...this is just crazy that I never write on here anymore. I am sure you are all waiting in anticipation about what is going on in our lives, or you have been keeping updated thanks to Facebook. But I really like blogging, so I am going to try and keep this alive.

Things have been great! Life really has a new outlook when you are poor and can only rely on God and your family/friends. We are lucky to have both on our side. People might think I am crazy when I say I am actually happy not knowing my future and living on the brink of being completely penniless. There is something very comforting knowing that God is in control of my life, not me. Odd right? Who thinks like this? I never thought I would, that's for sure. But when you have been through what we have and seen that your decisions don't work out but God's always do, your mind is changed about the way things work. Jesse and I have been going to church regularly again and are actually wanting to go, it doesn't feel like an obligation. We have responsibilities, but are excited to be doing it. I have taken myself out of my comfort area and I just want to glorify God and do His will. I am not ashamed to fail, I just have to at least try. This is so new to me, I am usually the one that doesn't take chances. So with that, our wedding season this year is tremendous and Jesse got a job. I am a little wary, I don't want to get comfortable and loose focus again. I just want to get out of the debt we are in, put money into the business and bless our friends and family who have helped us through these past 5 years.

On a new note, Jude is awesome...as always. He is growing up fast for sure, I am enjoying this age. For those of you that have kids and have gone through this faze, you know what I am talking about; the "talking", the hand holding, the kisses and hugs, the cuddling, it's all great. Jude has a great sense of humor and a love for music, people and fruit.
