So Proud

Gary is an amazing man of God, he is so willing to do anything for us. He especially likes to see me happy and I love this about him. We have big God dreams of moving to the mountains and living happily ever after with snow in the winter and wildflowers in the summer. Since Gary has been incredibly supportive of me chasing my dreams at Radiant it was beyond time I support him in a slight career change. Gary spent 16 years with Relius Medical Engineering and realized our mountain dreams my not come true if we don’t change our income. God has always provided for us above and beyond. We want to give way more than we have ever given this year and the majority of what we plan to give is a good majority of my salary. We believe that God makes a way where we are blind to the way. Giving is so important to us and our walk with God. Gary felt a strong calling this past summer to start looking for a new position. He had several job offers that were amazing opportunities but all were located on the east coast and then we believe our own personal miracle happened! Gary was offered a position with Keysight Engineering Technology. This is going to allow us to live on a single income!! Yahoo!! So we can give how God excepts is to give! Also.. The location of his new job is on the west side!! Just a short drive to our future mountain! So thankful for how God makes a way! 2019 is going to be a massive change for us!

Eclipse

Our whole family is obsessed with space and the universe. There is just so much we don’t know. There is so much more that God has created that we may never see. I’m praying that Lilly and Owen get to travel and see and explore and experience LIFE!! We stood in our driveway freezing watching the Wolf Blood Moon. One day I am going to own a good camera so I can capture these moments more clearly. 

Servant Hearts

Our kids are two of the most given people. They don’t ask for much and they love to serve. Lilly and Owen both do a lot at church. Right now they are leading small groups in kids ministry and they are always willing to do any odd little jobs that come up. Lilly spend Thursday evenings babysitting for our worship baby and Owen down his snow day digging our neighborhood out. 

Working at a Cafe

Sometimes we sneak out and work offsite. This is one of the most amazing women I know! Melissa loves Jesus and has truly become one in my very best friends.

My Job is Amazing

Day Date

Gary has today out of his office so we went to breakfast and walked through a snow globe. 

Working On It

Our selfie game is improving. 

This Really Happened

Monday night our kids were wound tighter than a two dollar watch! While having dinner they were loud and crazy and I wanted to wring their little necks! So while the kids did dishes and cleaned the kitchen from their being home all day shenanigans , Gary and I decompressed in the car at Starbucks 😂

They Build Things

Owen and Gary built a little engine to go along with the big one. I love that Owen is learning to play out in the shop. 

Basketball Mode

Owen’s Favorite week of the year, the start to basketball season. I do love the relationship that he and his friend Lincoln have together. It’s really sweet and it has become so fun to watch them play.

Hiking With God

I don’t do New Years resolutions but I do want to do somethings differently this year. I got up early as I typically do and let my family enjoy their morning sleep lol. I decided to just get outside on this perfect sixty degree day and do a quick hike. I was alone with my prayers and God. It was a beautiful time to organize my thoughts and commune with the Lord. I’m incredibly thankful for the lifeline of prayer and the stillness to Hear. Im excited for what lies ahead, the God opportunities for my family, church and friends. 

Bath Bombs

Between Lilly and I, we may have an endless supply of bath bombs! We love these things! 

My Not So Babies

I really love Lilly and Owen. They are kind and caring. The past couple of weeks has been a little rough, it’s been very busy with a lot of sickness. These two have stepped up and God has given them both beautiful compassion. It’s kind of sad that everyone is well, just in time to go back to work and school. I’m already planning our Spring Break getaway! 

Weekend Adventures

Gary randomly took Friday off so we had an all day adventure. We went to breakfast, visited all three church campuses, squeezed in a super easy hike and had ice cream. It was a long day but so much fun. The weather was nearly sixty degrees! 

My Birthday

My birthday is not until the second of January but Gary always asks me what I want to do on the first. We typically have to go back to school and work on the second so the first it is! Everybody is typically partied and gived out so I try to lay low and let the day pass. So in typical Gary style he asked what I wanted to do and I told him I just wanted to go into my office to pray and get some things done. So as my little family was snug asleep I went and finished out the year and prayed through my office. I feel and hear God at church, I do honestly love being there. There is no better place for me to start the new year or celebrate my birthday than at church. Even better tomorrow is Fusion :) 

New Year

Don’t let these happy pictures fool you...I wanted to be in bed by 9 and was pretty grumpy my family insisted on me staying awake to ring in the new year. We played games and watched The Greatest Showman. It was sweet and simple!
