Who's the cutest kid ever?

My husband!!! He's the adorable kid on the left (as if it wasn't obvious). I hope our kids look like him because he is just so squeezable!

Prayer Requests

Kristine and I were talking yesterday about easy it is to give lip service to trusting in the Lord and in faith in general. We are both still looking for jobs here in Nashville and our confidence is starting to mirror the trend of our bank account. We know that God brought us here and has great things planned, but some days we want to scream "What the hell does that mean?!"

Please pray for jobs.
Pray for true faith.
Pray for confidence. I'm tired of singing that song from The Sound of Music and not REALLY meaning it after sunshine, rain, and seasonal variance.

We love and miss you all.

Chris

This is my favorite picture

Isn't he just so adorable??

My best friend just had her first baby... a precious little baby girl. I cannot tell you how sad I am that I am not there, obsessing over how cute she is. Laura and I have been friends for 24 years, and BEST friends for 8 years. I have never missed an important event since then... this is the first. It makes me sad. This is the one thing I don't like about being so far away from family and friends.

Congratulations Laura and Calen. I am so proud of you and know you will make wonderful parents.

We're done painting!!

We don't have to paint any more rooms!!!! This is our guest room. We painted it a bright yellow because I decided that when we do have a baby I do NOT want to paint again. So, yes, it's bright, but it will go with pink or blue.

My husband

is the most caring, gentle, thoughtful, loving, tender, pure-hearted human being I have ever met. I fall more in love with him every day. He makes me feel like I am the only one on earth at times and he truly appreciates me. I have been in love with him for nearly 8 years. Of course, the last 3 years have been a completely different kind of love than the first five.... he loves me back! When I think about the times we were apart in college and how I pined for him, I feel so blessed that God, in His great wisdom, allowed Chris to forgive me and love me too. He is the best thing in this world and I am so thankful for him.

I just thought you all should know what a great man he is and how proud I am to be his wife.
