Counting my blessings

In all the craziness of the past few weeks, there has been some amazing blessings happening. We had someone come and want to rent the house we've been renting a month before we had originally planned. So we packed and moved out in 2 days along with some invaluable help from my in-laws. My parents welcomed us to stay in their super nice finished basement till we move to Columbia, AND let us use their gigantic car hauler trailer to load all our stuff. My sister and brother-in-law are letting us store it at their house. Did I mention we have a great family?

We also found out we will be able to have the baby here in Georgia! I love my doctor AND we'll be near family. Booyah! That blessing got me right in the heart. Thanks God!

My niece and her husband are home from Cambodia. We haven't seen them in a year! Welcome home Abby and Jim! This is gonna be a great Christmas!

Nauseous feelings are dwindling! Hallelujah! This time around has been the most difficult.

My mom and step-dad are back after a month in Florida. We had homemade biscuits and gravy for breakfast then fried salmon patties, homemade mashed potatoes and beans for dinner. Straight out of a Paula Deen show y'all! It was so good I didn't even get heartburn, that's how thankful my body was! O.k. back to eating my well balanced diet. I love my mama!

I love the picture above. I mean look at those sweet faces. I am blessed. We thought it would be the worst picture of us all ever. The way we had to pose was humorous to say the least. It involved angled bales of hay and stacking the girls on top of Jamie, but miraculously we were all smiling.

God just keeps reminding me that He has all this under control and He still loves me ginormous. (as my girls like to tell me)

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
