Baby Mine

God's power and grace is amazing. Trey and I have been blessed beyond belief. God has given us the most precious gift, the gift of life. We are expecting our first child on July 4, 2011. Trey and I did plan this pregnancy, but it is ultimately Gods plan that rules. We can only pray for a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby boy or girl. We have had one ultrasound and have gotten to see our little one. The most amazing part of the ultrasound was seeing our babies heart beating! Babies grow so fast and this week (week 11) he or she is the size of a lime. I continue to stay healthy thus far and thank God everyday. My belly is starting to look like a prego belly and that makes me happy! Please keep me and my family in your thoughts and prayers!

Amazing

God is AMAZING! I am so blessed to be healthy and to have a healthy family! Life is such a precious gift and I realize that more and more each day. Looking forward to lots of happy times to come!

Journey

If you would have told me 5 years ago that I would be married, a home owner, a dietitian with a professional career and a real "grown up", I would have not believed you. I always knew I wanted to peruse a career that would mean something; somehow I could make a difference in my community. Happy does not even come close to describing my feeling of accomplishing that goal. Helping people in my community through nutrition counseling and health education is so fulfilling.

Having a family at such a young age is also amazing. God has blessed me beyond belief. Finding my soul mate so early on in life is incredible. It is crazy to think that I could actually celebrate 60 years of marriage. Trey is an incredible husband and I don’t know what I would do without him. I thank God everyday for bringing us together.

My life has turned out even better then I could have ever imagined. God is in control and always knows what is best for each of us. I have enjoyed every stage of my life and do not think for one moment that I am too young to have come so far in life. It feels great to have made so many accomplishments in love, relationships and professionally.

Children may come next, if that is God's plan for us. Trey and I feel as if we have things in order now, financially, professionally, spiritually and personally. We are in a great place a cannot wait to see what God blesses us with next.

LOVING LIFE and the journey that has gotten me there.

Striving

It seems as if I am not a very good blogger. Life can be very busy lately, but this is no excuse! Many of my friends, who are also VERY busy, blog religiously. I strive to be a better blogger in the next few months… lets see how this goes shall we.

Speaking of striving to be better… I would love to become a more devoted Christian and strengthen my relationship with God. If anyone knows of a good bible study... please pass the info along! Trey and I are still searching for a church in Jackson County, but not as hard as we should be. Maybe I can talk Trey into going to a church this Sunday... wish me luck, and send up some prayers!

On another note, Trey and I are now homeowners. We purchased our “starter home” on November 24, 2009. We are very happy with our purchase and look forward to improving our house and making it a great home. We are going to tackle a kitchen and bathroom remodel when tax money comes. Wish us luck and please keep us in your thoughts throughout this process. We hope to finish the project by the end of April. I will post some before and after pics when I can.

My dietetic internship is going well. I just started my second rotation with the Cherokee Central Schools. I am working along side the Child Nutrition Coordinator. Working with her excites me to become a great professional. I am so anxious to finish this internship and find a job. Let’s hope that there are some positions available in May!
