Settled in

Josh and Macy hanging out on the floor together. We are finally settled into our new home. All of the boxes have been unpacked and taken to the dump. It feels soooooooooo good to have a clean house. I will post more pictures of the house once our living room furniture comes in. I am PATIENTLY waiting for it. Hopefully, it will be in very soon. We are enjoying our new house and thank God everyday for it. God is so good.

Moving Day has arrived

Each room is full of many boxes.

Macy has been no idea what is going on. She has been really sad lately b/c her house has been a mess.


For the past week Josh and I have been busy packing up our house. We are so excited about moving into our new house. We have been so busy that we really haven't comprehended exactly what is going on. We are moving out this weekend and into our new house. Therefore, we will not be able to go to Greensboro with everyone else. The good thing is we get to celebrate with Josh's mom. Josh's birthday is tomorrow and his dad's birthday is Saturday. So lots to be celebrated this weekend.

Our New House!!!

The living room ceiling. Very tall!

Josh and I went under contract for our new house in Wilson. After many hours of praying and searching last night we walked into our destiny. This was the last house on our agenda to see and was worth waiting for. We put our offer in today and they accepted today. Just for your information this was the third offer Josh and I have put on a house. We are pros at filling out the paper work. But God knew way before we did the perfect house for us. Looking back we can see how God ordered our footsteps. It is amazing. We are moving to Wilson as of May 19th. We are so excited about what God has in store for us in Wilson.

Beach Trip


Last weekend Josh and I went to Atlantic Beach. We needed to get away before moving. We enjoyed going to the beach and eating. The weather was really nice.

Sorry it has been a while!!

Josh and I have been on the go since we returned from Colorado. Last weekend we cleaned up the yard and Josh fixed the vent for our bathroom. Josh is so handy! We had some friends over Saturday night. This weekend Josh went to Washington DC with the youth. I was supposed to go but came down with the stomach virus Thursday night. I am doing much better today. Josh will be home later on today. I can't wait for his return!!! Macy and I are lonely.

About the house. Things are still on go. We are deciding between two houses on the outskirts of Wilson. We have plenty of time. God is good!!

Denver, Colorado

Pastor Rachel, Josh, and myself ventured out to Denver this weekend. We were invited by Pastor Bagwell from Word of Life Ministries to fill-in for their worship leader. What a great honor and experience it was. We had a great time and were treated like royalty. Josh played and Pastor Rachel led worship. It was awesome. God really moved in both services. We enjoyed shopping, eating, and exploring the town. We had a great visit with Ben Fernandez. It was so good to see him. It started snowing on Sunday night. By the time we left there were several inches on the ground. Therefore, we had a long wait at the airport. It was fun though. I really enjoyed getting used to the climate and altitude there. Which was very different than North Carolina!!! We are glad to be home. It was a great trip. This is just the beginning of many trips!! Going over the songlist for Sunday morning and Sunday night service.

Hanging around the house

This weekend Josh and I hung out around the house. Friday night we ate dinner with my mom. It was nice to see everyone. I also got to see my dad. I have felt like I haven't seen either in a while. Josh and I have been busy. Anna and Kara are getting so big. On Saturday, we cleaned and showed the house to two families. Then we had a time of worship and bible study with Relevant the college ministry Josh and I help lead. Tomorrow, we have a photography trade show in Durham after church...busy. I am going to miss my Sunday afternoon nap!!!!

Baby sitting

On Saturday, we babysat the Blackburn children while Jeff and Tonya enjoyed a night out with their church. We had a great time. Shannon came over to help. They ate pizza, ice cream, chicken and rice, and animal crackers. Wow those kids like to eat!! We watched Lady and the Trap II. We had a good time playing and singing.

Eating ice cream....mmmmmmmm


Ashlyn, Shannon, and Ethan posing for a picture. Ashlyn and Ethan enjoyed hanging out on our new king size bed we purchased on Friday. We are getting ready for our new house.

Our Trip to D.C.



We went to Washington DC this weekend. We had the best time. On Friday we enjoyed Chinese massages and lots of shopping in Potomac Mills. We ate at a great Thai restaurant on Friday night and enjoyed the night life of Alexandria. Saturday morning we got up early and headed to DC. Can I say that it was sooooooo COLD!! It actual snowed. It was so much fun. We went to the Smithsonian, the Washington monument, and to the Holocaust museum. The Holocaust museum was very eye opening but I really enjoyed it. We ended up leaving early because it was snowing so much.

It was snowing so hard.

Busy

Josh and I have been really busy!!! Where do I begin. We have had several people interested in our house. We stand firm that our house is SOLD in Jesus name. We have found the most adorable yet big house in Wilson that Josh and I are going to place a offer on, once ours goes under contract. Which should be soon. We have been super busy with church. I am participating in "I Lost it at Church" we are having aerobic classes twice a week. I have also been working out at the Regancy with my dear friend Charity. So to answer everyone's question....I am still dieting. Yeah for me. This weekend we are off to Washington D.C. which is going to be so much fun!! I can't wait. God is doing amazing things in our life and at church. Well, I am off to "I lost it at church"
