My sweet little nephew :)



 On Monday, February 28th, 7 lbs 12oz and 20 1/2 inches of precious was born!!! My little baby nephew, Coda is the most beautiful little person I have ever seen...and I am *NOT* being bias. It's the truth! I was telling Micah how crazy it is how much love I feel for that little boy already.

 I was getting all emotional thinking about how this baby is going to be grown before I know it and will be graduating high school and getting married and there's nothing I can do to prolong his childhood...As though he were my kid!! I am suffering from baby fever I think.

 I am just so in awe of God in all of this...He knit that precious little boy in Amber's womb! And knows all about his little personality already! I'm praying great things for that little boy and his parents who I love and consider family. They are so dear to my heart and I'm so excited about the wonderful things God has in store for them and their beautiful little family :)

 I'm sure you're done listening to me be all "Ooshy-goo!!!! It's a baby!!!" So I'll move on...

                                                             *sighs deeply*

 My friends, it's time for mind-boggling messes, endless to-do lists and the smell of cardboard boxes...that's right, I'm MOVING!!! And I'm very excited about it. We have a FIREPLACE!!! I think that's what I'm most excited about if we're going to be completely honest here. :) 

 But for serious, God is blessing my family and I am so thankful for His provision and faithfulness. 

 *tangent* I love love love jello!!! It has to be one of my most favorite things in the world...and every time I eat it I can't help but exclaim, "You're never gonna be jello!" And feel a little bit more like the lovely Julia Roberts. *end of tangent*

 ALSO! My lovely friend, Ashlea is getting married in sixteen days! I'm so excited for her and her love, Scott...they are absolutely adorable! Here we are at her Bridal Shower :)

 And my aunt Lisa rocks.

 I apparently have a guest blogger...

 And my best friend is going away to college...sadness of the heart. My best friend is the most beautiful, most encouraging person. I can't imagine life without her and the thought of her being hours away makes me want to throw a fit. But for the sake of her future, I'm coping. I know that she's coming back...in fact, we have plans to go on medical missions, get an apartment, and raise our babies as best friends!!! I know this isn't permanent and that's the only thing that makes it better. I love you Becca! And am working on the post that I am dedicating entirely to you. Tehe :)

Here is my lovely!

 I'm sitting here pondering all the change that's coming...and how scared I am of change. On top of all the change that's happening in the lives of the people I love, I've been offered a job and I'll be starting college this fall...Scary stuff! Especially considering I'm still seeking God and His will in all of this. I don't know how I feel about growing up...it's nerve wrecking. I'm having to make decisions and hope and pray they're the right ones. However,  God is my constant and I know He's always with me. I'm so thankful that He is.

 Well, I have a photography blog to create so I hope you lovelies are experiencing the great love of God this week as much as I am :)
