hubby's look-a-likes

i have myself a fine husband.

  {my opinion is liam hemsworth is pretty dang close}

regardless, i prefer my bryan to any of these other studs :)

a 13.5 week bump

the bump has emerged. 

and i'm starting to feel a bit better. 

hooray!

more about baby j

here's our little bug at 8 weeks, for all who want to see :)

so yes, it's true. we shared our pregnancy news on april fools day and caused quite the excitement. believers, skeptics, all the like. it was so fun to know others were going to do an "i'm pregnant" post but we were actually telling the truth! so here's the scoop...

almost 11 weeks

due date: october 29

it wasn't planned but it also wasn't a surprise

not feeling terrible, some days are better than others

yes, we're finding out the sex. don't try to convince us otherwise :)
{we're not hoping for either or, just a happy healthy baby}

yes, we have names picked out! but we're not telling!

God's timing, man.. He knows what's best for us

...oh and there's no bump yet {just flab from eating a lot}... but hopefully in the next few weeks!

in awe

while i could sit here all day and chat about my pregnancy {which i will write a post to update all of you soonish}... today, i am in awe. i'm in awe of many things...

> how powerful the Lord is

> how much of a sacrifice Jesus made for taking on the sins of the world so he could one day live in heaven with us {i can't even really wrap my mind around this}

> how he keeps his promises to us always. 

i am moved and eternally grateful for his death on the cross. he is worthy of so much praise for just the little things he's doing in our lives. and we're just two people.

God is so good. and he deserves our very best. even though he loves us unconditionally when we're at our worst. 

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead"

1 peter 1:3

no april fooling here...

he has worked so hard for this and he's finally got his big break.

proud wife over here.

and i don't mind the free loot :)

we are so thankful to the Lord for all he has done for us. bry's career is something we've been praying about for quite a while. God is so good!
