New Start?

Well, now that my baby is 1!!! I might have a little more time to blog...lol...I really miss the old days of getting out my thoughts to start topic conversations, updating everyone on my life, and posting prayer request.

Well first, Ali turned 1 on March 3rd. She loved all the attention and the presents. Unfortunately, we could not find our camera so we have to wait to post pics until we get them back from our fam. But I will post them;). She had a little lady bug smash cake that I made with strawberry cake and iced to look like a ladybug, she didn't like the fact that she had to get messy to eat it though...she is so prissy;).

I started directing the church choir before Christmas and it has been a wild ride. It is absolutley a dream come true for me but it has been an area where I've been under extreme attack. I know I am not qualified but God has opened this door to me and I just want to have him use me and I believe he will give me what I need to direct this choir. Btw, we are singing on Palm Sunday if you'd like to come it's a Christian Life Assembely at 11:00am. Otherwise I would love it everyone could be praying for us:).

Alex has been doing his own business since Ali joined us and God is blessing his business, and us like crazy! He is so faithful and hard working no wonder he is thriving while working from home. And of course I love having him around all the time, it's great for him to be able to see his daughter whenever he wants and it helps me to have someone to help when I need it.

We have a roommate now, She is our youth pastor's fiance. Her name is Jen and she is a sweetheart. It nice having another girl in the house to share accessories, makeup, and support;). It is so different having a roommate when your married then when your single, but just as God has used my past roommates to grow me and stretch me, I think he is using her too.

I am trying to find my nitch. I have spent the first year in Cali adjusting to being a wife(and being back in Cali) and then my second year adjusting to being a mom. I want to find my place, I know there is so much more for me, but I have a problem with taking too much on at once so I want to be careful and make sure God and my family come first.

I will post pictures soon;)

Yay, you blogged!

Thanks for the update since I haven't heard much from you in a while besides whatever I can read on FB.

Glad things are working out for you guys in Cali these days!
