Back to God

We had Caden's Baptism today at 'The Well'
It was really great. There was this overwhelming beauty in church this morning. Many people felt it too. Thank you Holy Spirit.
Today we gave our Son back to God. I am excited to see how God uses his life for the Kingdom. I pray each day that God will set him apart and make him a true Man of God. I believe this will happen. It already has.
It was great to be surrounded by family and friends today for such a special event. My mom and sister are here and Jason's parents and brother are here too. They have all met for the first time on this trip. It's been great to have everyone together. It only took three years of marriage and a baby to get them all here.
After the service about 20 of us went to the Japanese Steakhouse for lunch. It was like the wedding reception we never had. Good times.
In less then two weeks we will be in Florida. I haven't started packing yet. I won't start until two days before. We move so much that I now have a fool-proof system. I dread the packing, but I should be able to knock it out in no time.
I'm excited about getting back into 'Lifechurch.' The pastor called on Friday to let us know that the piano will be sitting there ready and waiting for me. I'm pumped to be apart of that band. It's going to be awesome.
I love my God. I love my family. I love my life.

Back to Florida...

We're moving again. Back to Florida. Good times. An awesome answer to prayer.
Sandy beaches, purpose-driven church, warm air, quaint town, better life...here we come. Thank you Jesus.

Joy

Caden is such a source of joy and positivity in my life. The past couple of months have been very difficult and hard for me because I have been spending the majority of my days alone. Being legally unable to work and on top of that being preggo, made me less then fun to be around sometimes. Caden's arrival has brought with it so much blessing and purpose. God has chosen me to be a mother and that is an incredibly humbling calling. I can never thank God enough for this precious gift which has opened my eyes and causes me to want to be a better Christian, wife and new mother. I see God all over my son's face. I see possibility in the world. I see love in it's rawest form. New life is amazing. I am so undeserving of this precious gift, but I will hold it tightly and thank God for it everyday of my life.

Wouldn't it be great if your only stress was 'how am I going to get my pacifier back in my mouth?'

I'm so in love

Tick...tock....Tick....tock

Still waiting. Sampson has been trying to help bring comic relief. Bless his kitty heart.

Check out the overhang! Haha! I officially have an 'outie' and a new found sympathy for men with beer bellies.

Excuse the funny face. There were some timing and balance issues associated with this photograph.

Waiting...

Still pregnant. Went to the doctor today, everything looks good. He is all ready to make his entry...now it's just up to him to decide when that will be. My due date is in 28 days. Wish me luck!

Almost there....

5 Weeks left...let's go baby, let's go!

I'm an Idiot

So i'm sitting down right now for the first time today because like a fool I've been working my tail off. I always do this and then wonder why my body hurts so much. This would not be a bad day of work for me on a good day...but the whole seven months pregnant thing is really throwing off my ability to engage in physical labor. Today I have done three loads of laundry, undecorated the Christmas tree, removed the Christmas tree from the apartment, took down my beautiful Christmas village (tear*), vacuumed up the huge mess from the tree as well as the rest of the apartment, found a new place for all of the presents that we got for Christmas, rearranged the dining room, moved computer desk complete with computer and accessories to the dining room in order to move the treadmill from the babies room into our bedroom (where the computer use to be), rewired our sound system so that it now runs through the computer, organized our dvds and cds, dusted, washed the dishes, and paid the rent. Dang. I'm pooped. And my body is going to curse me in the morning. Why do I do this?

Some Random Pictures

This came out kind of blurry but I like it cause we were actually laughing. I love pictures with natural smiling.

Christmas!

Happy Holidays Everyone.

Christmas this year was fantastic! Lots of fun, lots of friends, amazing time.
On Christmas eve our cell group got together and delivered a bunch of presents and other festive things to a needy family in our community. It was a great way to spend Christmas-Eve-afternoon. This family was so amazing and grateful and beautiful. I think they touched our hearts in a way much deeper than we could ever have touched theirs. They were great. Keep the Davis family in your prayers. You can see some pictures of the afternoon at Wayne Leister's blog

Christmas Eve Jason and I went out to dinner and then to church. The service was great. We then went home where I put on new Christmas pjs and quickly fell asleep. The next morning we woke up and had a great time opening our presents. You can read all about our Christmas at

Amy and Juan spent a few days at our apartment which was really nice. It was the first time I had seen Amy since May so it was great to see them. Murray was here for Christmas night which was also great. On tuesday I went to Fayetteville with Amy and Juan. Amy and I attempted to bake a strawberry cake but her bakers secret non-stick cake pans wouldn't let go of the cakes so they came out kind of messed up. We learned the bakers secret is that they really are not non-stick at all. We managed to salvage one cake and made a funky strawberry design out of the second one. It was a funny project. To consitute this as a day of 'work', Amy served our cake to the people in the shelter. I would like to thank Mrs. Guadalope (completely spelled wrong) for giving Amy so much time off to spend with me. I had a great time. Later then we went to a Japenese steak house to celebrate Juan's birthday. It was good times. On Thursday I took the train back from Raleigh to Charlotte where my husband met me at the station with a teddy bear and godiva chocolates. Turns out I was missed. So was he. We've become one of those couples that doesn't function well without eachother.
On friday Jason went SKY DIVING! To read more about that, go to my xanga.
Tonight we are going to John and Julie's house (some friends from church) to ring in the New Year. It'll be good times. I'll post my New Years resolutions later on. This year is going to be a changing year filled with excitment and suprises. I can't wait. It's going to be our best year ever.


Here's Amy with our poor, poor cake


Here is the poor, poor cake and the utensils we used to remove it with


Here is the finished product. Not a bad save if I do say so myself!

My latest attempt to fit into my regular clothes

I know...I know...the attempt is a desperate one...



I am campaigning against Maternity clothes. I don't like them and I don't see the need to look like a giant bell during this 'beautiful time.' Who's with me?!

Merry Christmas Perforated Disc!

It was December 31, 2001. My friends and I were celebrating the New Year at Clifford Perry's house in Conception Bay South, Newfoundland. After the stroke of 12, 2001 turned into 2002, and we were all just a little rambunctious. To elliviate some of our energy, my friends and I decided to have a massive snowball fight and beating session to the death. Cliff and I have a history of violent wrestling matches and this night was no exception. After being plummitted with snowballs, thrown to the ground several times, punched and kicked repeatedly, it was clear. Cliff had won.
I stumbled inside completely drenched and caked with snow and ice. Cliff gave me some clothes to put on and all of the weary fighters gathered in the living room for hot drinks and calmness. I was sitting on the couch when I felt the sudden twinge of pain in my back. It was annoying, more like a pinch than anything else, but it kept getting progressively worse. I decided to go to the kitchen and get some pain killers but when I stood up I wasn't able to stand up straight. I was hunched over like a little old man. By the end of the evening, my body resembled the shape of an 'L'. I was completely bent at the waist and could not straighten up any more than that. I was in excrutiating pain. I tried to laugh it off, not wanting people to think I was being overly dramatic, but I seriously could not physically straighten up and the pain was horrific. Eventually Cliff brought me and my roomate Amy home to our apartment, along with a few of our friends. Of course, we lived on the 4th floor of an apartment building with no elevator, so that was a feat in and of itself. It took me an hour to lie down in bed that night and 2 hours to get out of bed in the morning. I was trying to lift myself by using my elbows and actually rubbed them raw like a carpet burn. It was sad and pathetic. I stayed in the apartment for two days like that until my parents came and got me and brought me to the doctor where I discovered that I had slipped a disc in my lower back. It took two weeks to recover to the point of proper posture but since then my lower left side has always been a little touchy. Why have I told this story?
Well now that I am pregnant this horrid condition is begining to rear it's ugly head again. My tummy has doubled in size in the last month and the weight has caused my back to scream "WHAT'S GOING ON!?!"
So pray for me, because I cannot afford to be hunched over at the waste with a large belly. This may become uncomfortable. Maybe this is why God shut the door on me working during my pregnancy. Who knows? Either way I would like to take this moment to wish my perforated disc a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I love my doggy

Dakota is an AWESOME doggy. She is the lowest maintenance dog in the world. She literally needs to go outside twice a day. Once in the morning and once right before bed. She's like a camel when it comes to that kind of stuff. She is a people lovin dog,and although she's big and hairy, she very gently gives doggy hugs to everyone she meets. She smiles too. I swear. I love my doggy-roo.
