I spent the first weekend in March in Dallas with my grandmother, aunt and cousin. We had a great time catching up and visiting and my aunt got me started on this whole new health kick I've been on. My grandmother passed away at the end of March so Matt and I spent a few days in Longview and Jacksonville with family.
April was filled with lots of doctors appointments for all of us and a few trips to Little Rock. Matt was offered a job (finally) in Texarkana and we gladly accepted! We came here with the hopes of eventually moving to LR but once we were settled, the thought of moving to another new city and starting over was exhausting. I am thankful we are still here, although I would love to not be living with my mother in law still. I guess I should be glad we have a place to stay while we save.
In other news the kids are growing up like crazy. Nathan is walking and into EVERYTHING! I can't turn my head without him climbing on or getting into something. Sarabeth is growing up into such a little girl. She's just not a baby anymore. We sit together on the couch and have big girl conversations...it just kills me.
We found a church we love and moved our letter on Sunday. It was such a bittersweet moment for our family. Matt and I started our lives again at Champion Forest Baptist Church in Houston almost 5 years ago. Both of our kids started out in the nursery there and have grown to love that place just like a second home. Our hearts were torn when we knew God was moving us to a new beginning. After visiting for a few months, we knew Beech Street would be our new home. We are excited about what's in store for our church and how we will play a part. I'm anxious to get involved and watch God work through us.
Easter weekend Nathan started feeling bad so we took him in to the pedi on Monday and they admitted him to the hospital for observation. He ended up with bronchitis so he and I spent the next 2 days at St. Michaels. He was a trooper and did well...even through the tornado sirens and being moved to the hallway for an hour. That night we both just decided to stay awake until dawn! Everyone except me ended up getting sick that week. It looks like everyone is on the mend now and things are back to normal.
I am looking forward to getting my hair cut tomorrow, it's the little things. I also think I will treat myself to a pair of Yellowbox Flip Flops for Mother's Day, I think Sarabeth and Nathan would agree.
*I promise pictures to come (in case our family members were wondering)
