Baby belly?

Here's the first picture I have taken of my belly since being pregnant. I think I was trying to pooch it out some. :) This is it at 12 weeks. I'm now at 15 weeks. It hasn't change at all. I'm still in all my normal clothes, but I'm planning on getting some maternity clothes in Tyler next weekend at this cool maternity store they have there. I'll post another pic as soon as this baby grows a little more and there's a change to see.

Old pics from Snyder weekend in Oct.

We went to Snyder the weekend of my birthday in Oct and these are just some pics from then. I haven't been a picture uploader lately.

The weekend was awesome. We spent it resting, fishing, going for long walks, and spending time with our family. Hudson was exploring everything all the time and one morning found Tyler's boots. Haddon got many, many a kiss from his Aunt Haley. And the picture of me and Tyler...well that just shows you what we usually look like when we are in Snyder. No makeup, no shave...we enjoy going all natural when we go out to the country. :)

Tahoe

We finally know what vehicle we are getting. Our friend got us one this week and so the plan is now to fly to east Texas next weekend to pick it up and then drive it home. We hope everything works out and we think we will like it. It is a 2007 chevy tahoe with 31,000 miles. He said it is a blue color, one of the new colors they have. We weren't really wanting blue, but I looked it up on the internet and think it will be pretty. He is suppose to email us some pictures of it next week. So, that's that. I was just relieved that he got us one. The Lord is good and always provides. I think it will look like the picture above.

Hoping for a vehicle...

This week we are eagerly awaiting news that we have a vehicle to pick up in Tyler, Tx. A family friend has been trying to get us one at auctions in Dallas for the past two weeks but hasn't been able to yet. So, we're hoping and praying this is THE WEEK. We will find out either on Wed. or Thurs. If he gets us one, we will then buy airlines tickets to fly to Dallas. Brooke and Blake will pick us up and then we'll head to Tyler to get our new car! We are anticipating him getting us a tahoe or surburban. (used of course) so we're just gonna wait and see. I haven't had my own vehicle since the wreck so it will be so exciting to finally own my own again.

Great wisdom

Obama

Honestly, I have been anxious about this election. I haven't been exactly sure why though. I think I was worried because I knew there was a chance Obama could win. And in my mind I fear that he's going to let terrorists come over and bomb us all. I guess I have only heard all the negative about him and what will, or could, happen if he was to be president. And I just hate abortion so much and it breaks my heart to know he could allow so many more to take place than already have. I have always feared democrats being in control, just because of most of their views. My dad has always taught me alot about politics so have always been interested. In the past I can't remember thinking about an election this much and maybe it has to do with the fact that Tyler and I are starting our own family and we're about to have a child of our own and that we are on our own.
I turned to the Psalms last night as I watched some on tv.
"The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread?" 27:1
"The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart exults, And with my song I shall thank Him." 28:7

I have prayed and prayed about this election, trusting that the God's will would be accomplished and I know it always will. What a relief to know that. His plan is best and He is in absolute control, not Obama. We can trust the Lord and not be afraid of what's to come. We should thank Him even when things don't go as we would have hoped for and the future is unknown. He holds the future and will strengthen us for whatever is ahead.
Tyler has told me over and over this. God is soverign and has everything in His hands no matter who becomes our president.

Glad November's here

Halloween is over and now it's time to look forward to Thanksgiving and putting up Christmas decorations. There's 3 1/2 weeks till Thanksgiving and Tyler and I will be eagerly awaiting it. We are going back to Snyder this year for Thanksgiving and it was so much fun last year because it snowed. We are hoping it snows again this year. And we get to stay out there more than just two days, which gives us more time to enjoy it.

This week is busy for us. Our church has been doing this drama called "Eternity" and Tyler has a small part in it, so he will be working tonight, Tues. night, and Wed. night this week.
I have taken down all the Halloween decorations in my classroom and it's nice. I'm thankful Halloween dosen't last all year.

Also, please be praying that we will find a vehicle soon for me. A family member who is a used car salesman is looking for us and if he finds one this week we will get to go to east Tx this weekend and pick it up! I am hoping this works out because it would be so nice to see my family, especially my neice.

So that's all from Clovis.
