Spring Fever

We have definitely taken advantage of the beautiful weather that has been around lately! I think that's why we love the gulf coast so much. It's so much fun, beautiful, and hardly ever too too cold. We even road along on Daddy's off day this Sunday to Gulf Shores (where he is working his routes right now..praying he will be in Mobile asap). We aren't allowed to go, but this was a super quick thing he had to drop by. The customer was soo sweet and Abby met her a few little friends. The couple had a similar career when moving down here, and offered some valuable school, housing, and just good advice. (That we didn't even ask for haha..all Gerald mentioned was we weren't from the coast.) People are soo sweet here!

Anyways, so it was good to see the beach, beautiful weekend. Even prettier week ahead. Here are some pictures of my sweet kiddos!! Cole is 13 months and Abby is of course 5 and one month (as she says now that she has heard me saying that for Cole;))

P.s. There is a picture below of Abby at one year, and Cole in comparison. They can't deny each other when they're older, and I love it! :)

Please keep our family in your prayers, specifically that Gerald lands a welding jobs. He has applied to many now it's the waiting game/keeping on at it at the same time. Things are looking very hopeful though. God has a plan and loves us! He is so good! I hate that we can't continue to go to Epic Church in Decatur, but let me tell yah watching online service is the highlight of my week!

Have a beautiful week/spring break for some of you :) 

Jesus Calling

I still can't believe the last few months have felt like a dream. One thing after the next. We didn't like New York, Tennessee, or New Jersey at ALL. So we feel so much at home back in south Alabama. We will officially be back in Daphne in one more week. Right now we're staying an hour out to because of Gerald's current, new, job. Long story short...never go into cable. Everyone we have met, including his boss now has had many similar circumstances that Gerald has experienced.

Anyways, God has a plan, and has made things happen this year when honestly I thought nothing was going to, and I'm learning to put ALL my trust into Him! The book Jesus Calling is amazing, and has helped me realize a lot the past week I've been reading it. Highly recommend it!


As I've talked about all of February (and maybe January too ;)) My babies turned five and one! I still can't believe it! I wish I had taken pictures of Cole's first party/cake and small gathering (that he slept through lol) and Abby's present opening/ritual candle fear haha bless her shy heart, but the party didn't go quite as planned, unfortunately, and we had a fun day. I hadn't planned to need my camera, or I would have brought one. Anyways, we'll get good pictures and be much more prepared next year. It will be super fun here at the beach, since Abby will have met her little kindergarten buddies, and Cole will have daycare buddies too! ;)

Speaking of school I can't wait to enroll her somewhere! Baldwin County schools are great so any would be a pretty much equal choice. Gerald has a welding test for one of the biggest companies in Mobile this week! If he gets it, he will start within weeks, get benefits and all the things our family needs!! The hiring boss sounds very excited so please keep this opportunity in your prayers. It would really mean a lot to our kiddos :)
