28 today....

I'm not too depressed about my age however I do wish I would stay 25. It's just really hard to be away from my close friends and my parents. I'm really needing to feel God's presence right now because this journey is hard. I hope to grow as a Christian woman this year and come into a more mature relationship with God. I hope to start a Bible study just like the one I had at home and gather with strong believers to pray and support each other. And I hope that my marriage would strengthen and renew as we only really have each other as family. That would be my prayer for this year.

Update:: Devin and a friend named Mandy threw me a surprise party. I was completly fooled and everyone came. It was so much fun and I felt very loved. As I was spending some time with God today he put on my heart chapter 3 of Ecclesiastes. There is a time for everything. This is my time. To be uncomfortable. To be stretched. To branch out to the unknown. What would life be like if we never took chances. Thank you Lord for these trying times that will grow me and help me to be used in the future to further your Kingdom.

The house is finally ours

Escrow closed on Friday afternoon and we can finally start moving stuff over! My parents came over this past week to visit. My mom and I did many shopping trips to get this house furnished and stuff to decorate. We need to hire a handy man to get all the drapes and blinds up. Not to mention new homes don't come with mailboxes! There is a lot to be done and I'm thankful we don't have to be in right away. Our plan is to be in the new home by June.

It snowed today. April 13th and it's snowing! This weather is really bizarre and hard to get use to. I had to drop off my mom and dad today and afterwards Kai asked if he could go to the airport and go on a plane with Papa and Gigi. He just doesn't understand that I wish I could go on a plane with them too! We'll be in Cali in July but that seems forever away.

Here are a few pictures from this week:
