One of the best moments in my life...so far

So lately God has totally been working in my life through Presley...sounds kinda weird but it's been amazing! Presley will tell me to read my Bible and ask me to read the Bible to her, she will tell me to say prayers, she will just randomly start talking about Jesus--exactly what I need right now. One morning I was reading Psalm 139 (I read that A LOT) and Pres climbed on my lap and told me to read it to her. As I was reading aloud she would repeat everything I said, and when I got to verse 14 and she repeated it after me, my eyes filled with tears. As I heard her say "I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well..." I prayed that she would always keep that as the driving force behind her self image. So, I decided to make it her first ever memory verse...I figured if I am teaching her to commit Bible verses to memory, I will be doing it right alongside her (another way God is using her to encourage me). After just a few days of having her repeat it after me, she got it down! So...here is a video of one of the best moments in my life, my 2 year old reciting a Bible verse from memory. God is so good!

Why do I even have a blog?

So it has been almost 2 months since my last blog post...wow. The funny thing is, it's not like I am too busy to do it (that is not it at all), I am just too lazy I guess. I go to the site, I read all of your blogs, and then I think about posting and I think "Ugh, I don't want to try to be clever and deal with HTML and all that crap." LOL. Plus, so much is happening I don't even really know where to begin. Let's start with baby stuff...5 more weeks until my due date! I am really hoping that this little gal comes 2 weeks early like her big sissy did, but we'll see. :) Oh, and we got a dog! A few weeks ago we got a super cute beagle puppy, his name is Wally (as in Wally the Green Monster...look it up). He is quite a little pest, but he is so cute it almost makes me forget how much he actually craps in my house. Um--what else? We took a trip up to Seattle to visit my sis and her fiance and my most precious nephew, but that was like a month and a half ago (man I suck at blogging). Also, Greg's bro and his girlfriend had their baby so we have a beautiful new niece, but that has also been almost 2 months. So basically I don't have much new to say, apparently this is just a fill in of the last 2 months. We did get some not so great news recently though, my Grandma's cancer seems to be back. It is just a little spot, so they are going to do chemo on it and hopefully it will just zap it into oblivion like it did the last few spots. My Grandma was planning on moving up to Seattle to live with Courtney for awhile, but in light of this new hurdle she is staying here to complete her chemo treatments. But one good thing has come out of this...Courtney and Brian are moving back! I am so excited, they are here visiting right now and I can't stand the thought of not seeing my precious porkchop of a nephew all the time. Well, that is about it I guess. Things are going pretty well for us, we are considering moving when our lease is up, but that is right around baby d-day, so we will probably stay put a few months if our landlord will let us stay on a month to month basis for a few. I am trying not to count the days until I get to meet my little Scarlett, but I totally am. Sigh. Pics!!!
