I haven't posted lately and there's so much to write about.
Back in early December I made my first trip to our corporate office in Richmond VA. I FINALLY got to meet my work-besties and it was a blast! I enjoyed the connections we made, the beers we drank, and being able to put a face with a name. I also took alot from our meeting. I found out all of the things I need to start doing, things I need to go back and change, and some things I shouldn't be doing. All of this has made my daily tasks soar which has kept me incredibly busy!
So now, Christmas and New Years have passed. My parents flew Timmy in as a suprise; Chris and I were thrilled! He's here until this Sunday. We will get him back around mid June and I've already planned our family summer trip. We're going to Myrtle Beach from July 3rd until July 10th and I'm stoked!
Christmas was great - Chris got me a pretty pink lap top, a wireless printer/fax/scanner and an ipod/radio/cd player for my bathroom. Mom got me a really nice pair of fuzzy tan boots and an ipod and some really cute ear rings and a bracelet. We spent Christmas Eve at mom's for dinner, then woke up early Christmas day and went to my step-mom's mom's house for breakfast, then Grandma & papa's for lunch. It was a busy, yet fun day.
New Years was fun too - we took the boy bowling for the night. Mom and David met us at the bowling alley and we were there from 9-1 a.m. I'm hoping the new year will bring lots of luck and joy to those who seek answers to lifes questions.
I've also been slightly discouraged lately about our baby situation - or lack there of. I don't know many couples who have had to "try" to get pregnant. I mean c'mon - we're a responsible, young, healthy, loving couple. I look at these women in the world who report their kids missing, abandoning them and even killing them. Who am I to judge, but it really makes me bitter.
My heat hurts right now for my friends. Two of them searching high and low for means of making ends meet. These are two of the nicest, most responsible, caring and giving people I've met in my entire life. I guess that goes to show that we all need to trust in God and His answers. And it's OK to ask "why" and "what now". I know the three of us put together have probably filled His ears with enough questions to last 2009, but I know we're all trying to patiently wait for answers.
That's all I have for now, it's bed time!

This was such an awesome post, Kell! I love how real you are. I love how much you care about people. I hate that I can't call you anytime for a girls night anymore, but I'm encouraged in knowing that whenever we do see eachother again, we'll be able to just pick up right where we left off!! So glad to be going through the ups and downs of life right along with you...even 3000 miles away. I love you.
Like you said, rather we like it or not, we all just have to have patients. God does have a reason for our job hunt struggles and lag of baby news...but he does things in his own time, not ours and that's what we have to remember. We just have to know that God will take care of it and until then we need to use the uh-hmmm "tools" God gave us to help make those happen(that was a joke for Kelly in-case you didn't get it..hehe)
