Where to start...

Happy New Year!!

Everytime I sit down to write about something I get distracted and before I know it, it's time for bed or I've fallen asleep on the couch! Soooo...we've had so much going on that I don't know where to start!

I can't believe it's already February! Even more shocking...I can't believe I am fixing to be 29!! We have a little get away planned next weekend to gatlinburg with my parents and then we are going to nashville the next week to see Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith at the Ryman!! So these are sorta birthday/valentines day vacays!

We have also taken a new step in trying to have a baby. We will be seeing a infertility doctor on Feb. 21st. I am exicted and scared all at the same time! I got our packet in the mail telling us what to expect and I've been doing some research on IVF. I am trying not to worry about it because God knows our needs and what is best for us. One day at work, I had an amazing realization. I know it was God-sent! I am going to be starting a small business on the side to help with the cost of all the doctor visits and whatever else we may have to do. It's going to be called "Hopeful Love Boutique". I am making table runners, placemats, napkins, ribbon blankets and whatever else ideas I come up with. I have made a couple of table runners already. I am going to put them on ETSY. I am so thankful that God is allowing me to share our story and help others through all this. It is complicated to put into words on here, but God is so amazing!!

Here is picture of one of the table runners I've made.

Matthew and I had an opportunity at church to share our testimony on stewardship. I really didn't want to do it at first because I hate talking in front of alot of people. But God calls us to step out of our comfort zone and do something we normally wouldn't do. I am so glad we did!! It's so amazing how God has used us to bless so many and they have blessed our lives as well. Like I said though, it's too complicated to put into words on here, but I will never forget it!

"Happy are the people who know the joyful shout; Lord, they walk in the light of Your presence." Psalm 89:15

Tommy, Kelly, Will and Ella came down for a short visit a couple of weeks ago. Kelly and Will went to Auburn for the campionship celebration so Matthew, Tommy, Ella, Reba and I hung out for the day...
