These Times They Are Changing

Our Princess is Turning Two

Our princess is turning two in less then 5 days. I’m looking at her and I see this beautiful little girl with personality, thoughtfulness, silliness, lovingness all rolled into one and I keep saying to myself, “God made this little girl especially for me.” I am so humbled to know that I have a healthy little girl who I love more then anything. I just can’t believe she’s turning another year older.

Eden has definitely grown into mommy and daddy’s little helper. She is minding more. (I’m crossing my fingers hoping she continues to keep listening) She is becoming more of a cuddlier, which I don’t mind, at all! She still keeps us on our toes and is on the go constantly. (Her nickname at church is the energizer bunny.) Very fitting! She loves to read and we love reading to her. Eden’s vocabulary is definitely increasing and we are starting to carry on conversations with her more plainly. One of her most favorite things to do is dance and she’s not afraid to do it in public. She also loves to sing and constantly repeats twinkle twinkle little start and baa baa black sheep. She is obsessed with farm animals and she feels like she can never have enough to play with. She loves jewelry and is always asking to wear her heart locket. Her most favorite snack is a pa-sicle (aka popsicle)

We are in the process of moving her into a toddler bed and trying to be an encouragement to her as she gains more confidence to pee pee in the potty.

Our princess is growing way too fast for our eyes, so I keep reminding myself to cherish each moment, even the tough ones.

Internship This Summer

I am finally doing my internship this summer. I will be interning at the Child Safety Center in our area and I can’t wait. My internship if y'all don’t already know, is to help me complete my degree in Social Work. Lets just say it’s been a long time coming but I’m really glad it’s almost here. Once my internship is up this July, I will graduate from Harding. Can I get an amen!

Surprise!


You got it! I’m pregnant (officially 8 weeks) and we will be welcoming our sweet little blessing sometime October 26, or whenever he or she decides to get here. We are so excited and giddy. It’s been so hard to keep those feelings back, but now they are in the open and we are jumping for joy! We know for a fact that Eden is going to be a wonderful big sister and a great helper to Andrew and I.

We can’t wait to share with you our newest journey as we prepare to make our family four.

Not to busy to pray

Things are getting a little busy this month. The big news is our sweet little princess is turning two! Can ya’ll believe it? Me neither!

I have truly enjoyed watching her grow from her speech to her personality and everything in between. She reminds me everyday how precious life really is and I feel very blessed to have her in my life.

In other news, I have some trunk shows coming up, which I am very excited about! A little nervous, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t. You know those butterflies you get when you do something for the first time. But, I’ve been praying about it and I know everything will go great! I am very passionate about this and know that once I start something I’m going to finish strong. I also want to say that I adore my husband for supporting me, as well as my mom. They have been a great encouragement to me.

With the month of March slipping through my fingers April is fast approaching, which means that my internship for this summer starts soon. I’m really looking forward to putting my time into working with the Child Advocacy Center. My days are going to be long and I’m going to miss my time with Eden during the day, but at least I will have successfully completed my long awaited degree.

We are also in contemplation about selling our house and moving into what I guess you would call the city. We keep going back and forth. This is a big decision and we will be in great thought and prayer about it as I know God has a plan for us.

Tonight I’m childless…what to do…what to do? Oh, I know rest, because we will see our little ball of energy in Springdale tomorrow and then I will have wished I had got some shuteye.

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend, just like I’m fixing to enjoy some Hershey Chocolate Eggs. YUMMY!

A breath of fresh air

What a beautiful day it was yesterday! God sure knows how to turn a cloudy sky to pure sunshine!

It was such a beautiful day in fact; we went to the park to play. Andrew was off yesterday morning and Papa Lowe was coming through town and stopped by to play and eat lunch.

Our time outside was a good breath of fresh air. I just love watching Eden’s carefree spirit run around climbing and sliding down the slides. She has so much energy. I wish I had half as much as she did.

You know I think this is a great time to add that family is also a breath of fresh air too.

Andrew and Eden are my rock, my best friends. I feel so blessed to have them in my life. When I’m having a not so good day, I know I have at least two people who can cheer me up in no time.

I mean I can’t think of a reason not to smile.

With that said. I hope everyone enjoys their family this weekend. I know I will
