Our New Nest!

Its been too long!  So much has been going on in our lives that blogging has taken a backseat.....plus we didn't have internet for awhile :)

We moved into a house the beginning of October and we LOVE it.  Good friends from our church are letting us rent it from them.....such a blessing to us.  I could go on and on about all the things I love, but I'll spare you the details.  Let's just say that David and I love making this home our home.  I've loved decorating so far and will have to post pictures soon.....once I decorate for Christmas (which is always after Thanksgiving for this girl).

My health hasn't been real great this fall, but since surgery I've been feeling a whole lot better.  Still feeling some pain and discomfort, but way better than before!  Praise the LORD!  I'm trusting that he will continue to give me strength and rest as the winter continues.  I'm battling a nasty cold right now and just praying it stays a cold.....my body loves to make colds turn into bronchitis so hopefully not this year.  David has been so great in encouraging me this fall and helping me to feel joy with where I'm at right now.  I'm so blessed to have him and walk through life with him!



David meeting our friend's baby Grace Lucille Peterson!

 We just celebrated our Birthdays and its always so much fun.  Since our Birthdays are 4 days apart we get to celebrate together with family as well as just the two of us.  Every year its so much fun.....I hope that every year feels like that....even as we get older. 

Nannying for Addy gets more fun every week.....she is growing like a weed!  Her personality is starting to really emerge and its so great!!  She smiles and laughs and giggles and loves to play.  She also can sit up on her own and is getting more and more wiggly when I change her diapers.....she can't wait to stand up and play :)  I mostly just love watching her learn and teaching her how to do things.  Sometimes I come home calling myself "Nanny Casey!"  It makes me oh so excited to have my own little ones.  Addy sure makes me happy and full of joy....especially watching her face light up when Mommy and Daddy come home!  I love knowing her parents personally and seeing Addy's expressions and knowing who she gets it from.....cracks me up!  I also love praying for her little heart and that I would be able to help lead in teaching her what it looks like to love Jesus.....I love that she loves listening to me butcher bible songs....its a little pathetic at times.  Still crazy that I get the opportunity to watch her....so thankful.


This is Addy....could she get any cuter?

Pinterest has also been so much fun for me since I'm decorating a house now.  If you don't know what it is.....look it up!  It is so great at organizing ideas and my husband likes it too.....we love looking at all the funny things people post....the baby halloween costumes killed me!  So cute. 

I'll leave with this.....David and I are waiting for our favorite show to start....Amazing Race.  While we were waiting we started watching the American Music Awards.....I've never felt so old.  We knew hardly any of the artists.....mostly because we are nerdy.....also because most of the popular artists are like Bieber's age.  Let's just say.....we listen to NPR most of the time since our ghetto car doesn't have FM radio anymore and most of the popular music is hard for me to understand since they sing and talk so fast.  I saw Taylor Swift and I felt relieved that I knew someone :)
