We are having a Boy
I just thought I should say that we are having a boy in July :) I'm not sure if anyone on here doesn't already know this or not...but I will say it anyway ;) His name will be Micah Joel. We are excited, (and RELIEVED!!) to be having a boy. Now I know I can say I am completely satisified with 3 kids :)

Sunset
I was driving down the highway yesterday. I made it past a bunch of trees. The sky to my right was dark and cloudy, but the tree tops were illuminated by the setting sun. To my right, the sun was setting, the clouds broken up towards the mountain, so that the light could escape and beautify the world for one more moment before being gone for the night. It was breathtaking. I have seen this before, and it is absolutely the most beautiful thing to me. I cried. Because I miss seeing beauty like this. I miss that feeling of being completely in awe of God. Knowing that He made that. Maybe even made it just for me. It made me feel small...made all my problems seem smaller and made me less anxious about Joel coming home. Like in that moment, I knew that he would get here...I didn't have to worry, he would be home. I stepped back (well in my mind, I was technically still driving my car) and knew that I am not in control of my life, that God is. And I really felt safe in knowing that. I just feel like I let go yesterday. I wish I could have taken a picture, but then again, I know I will never forget what that looked like and how it made me feel.
*sigh* I really needed to say all that.

16 Days...how sweet it is :)
I'm sorry. I've been such a bad blogger. I've actually been trying to update every single BLOG I have...and its really annoying. But anyways....yes...16 days.
I've been currently at war with the fleas: spraying, vacuuming, bombing, borexing....not a word, i know. It's been really a hassle. I have been regretting my decision to get this kitten...I love her, but its just been a whole lot of work that I don't have time for, and my body can't handle. I have been off my RA meds for a week...the shots were out of stock...not good. Which reminds me, I have to go take some pain meds so I can start functioning without pain today.....
Ok, done. Moving on. Joel has had a bit of confusion, well, the Army was the one confused....They had paperwork for his Active Duty First program, but not for his actual, legal, binding National Guard contract. Long Story. But eventually he got in touch with the right people and everything is fine. We Hope. Just pray for him. He is really stressed, wants to make sure his flight is for coming home to CT, and that all his logistics are correct. He has this overwhelming fear that he will never make it home. I know....it's irrational, but its fear. And its making him anxious and worried. So please just pray that everything works out and I get to be hugged in 2 weeks by the love of my life
OH! And I stopped the caffeine. Not fun either. I have stopped buying soda for the house...Carol is keeping me accountable. I haven't had caffeine in a few days. So I am pretty much exhuasted and headachy...and the RA makes me tired too, so without drinking soda its been really, really rough.
Man, this was such a whiney post!! Sorry! But I am super excited Joel is coming home
My heart starts racing and I feel like I can't breath everytime I think about it for more than 2 seconds. I just can't wait. And he has his next job as manager at Morning Star lined up, everything ready to go. Things are beginning to come together.
Our home: it's getting organized slowly but surely. It's been hectic while we've been dealing with the fleas, but this week is my week to get things under control again. And I am SO incredibly BLESSED to have Joel's mom living here....with out her, I don't know what I would have done these past 6 mths, or what my house would look like as a result of it. She has supplemented all the areas that have been hurting in my home because of the RA. She's been helping with the cleaning, helping with the kids. It's been the greatest thing for me, especially since Joel has been gone. I am finally feeling like I can live a semi-normal life again.
Ok, this has been a long one. I am going to try to update more. Oh, Photos are from Ellie's first birthday on Thur!

My 48 Hour Vacation
So we lasted for exactly 48 hours. Eliana would not sleep at night, the only way she got a little sleep on Monday night was laying on a pillow while my mom was holding her. At midnight on Tuesday night, we packed everything up, and drove home. I did all the driving, because my mom couldn't possibly have stayed up that late. ( I have had a lot of practice since I usually can't sleep anyway because Joel is gone) We left for Maine at 4:40 on Monday morning, and arrived back home at 4:40 on Wednesday morning. I guess there is always next year!
We now have 46 days until Joel graduates from training. I'm getting more excited because time is going by fairly quickly. I've said it before...the days go by slowly but the weeks are flying by it seems.
Ok, that's all I the energy I have to write. I'll update soon!

About Me

My names Liz, I'm 24. I've been married 4 years now. It was the best decision I've every made, to marry my Best Friend. We have two kids, Emma and Eliana. I'm learning to trust God, over and over again. To have peace throughout everything. God is our Rock, He sustains us. He makes life work the way its supposed to. This is my Calling: "As a wife and a mother, My Mission is to counsel married couples and families that are going through rough times and crisis. My husband and I will reach out to help draw husband and wife closer to the Lord, Closer to each other and Closer to their children, In turn Helping rebuild a God centered family. Once the family unit is under proper authority, this will change the lives of this generation and those to come." I'm a Stay at Home Momma, I love it...I can't imagine having to work and leave my girls. I love reading, writing, photography, singing, and sitting and watching Jane Austen movies.
