Andrew's New Truck

Andrew finally got his dream truck!! (yes, the rust was included in that dream!!) He's wanted this kind of old truck for years. With all his tools for his job now he needed to get a truck and is so excited to have found what he wanted!

PRAISE GOD!!

Why is it that when times are hard and we have no idea how things are going to work out that we doubt God even though He's come through EVERY time?!!
He has yet again provided for us in a way that we didn't even imagine. As I'm sure you all know our house in Jax is still empty which is holding us up from getting our own place here. Just as we were realizing there probably wasn't a way for us to be living by ourselves before the baby came God showed us His plan!

We had someone we just met offer to let us live in their 4 bedroom house on a lake until June. It's their vacation home and they said the Lord told them to bless us with it since it sits empty all winter. Oh, did I mention all we have to pay is electric?!!!

So, when we were worrying about how we were going to come up with a deposit, lease, and other hassles of a new place, the Lord had this already in the works! That amazes me. Then it makes me feel horrible for worrying and doubting in the first place. Why is it we forget so easily when it's not going how we want?

We move in tomorrow! Visits are welcome!! There's plenty of room- we have a 3 acre fenced in beautiful backyard with a big deck! Oh, and let's not forget the view from our bedroom of the lake!!

I can't even grasp that the Lord wants to bless us this much. This is the only way we can be in our own place until our townhome rents and once it does we will be able to save a lot of money!
Lord help us NEVER take your blessings for granted!

Still Growing!

Well, I'm told I don't look it, but I am just about 34 weeks!!! We had an ultra sound this week to make sure that our boy was not to small and praise God he's 4 lbs. 7oz. and measuring exactly where he should be!

It was so much fun to see him moving around in there. We got to see his little lips and nose really well and him moving his fingers! At one point he had his pointer finger up... saying "Tomlinson's are #1"!!


He's definitely getting cramped in there-he's always pushing and kicking around. Even when I'm out and about he's slamming into me!

A Night at the Lake

Andrew surprised me with a night away at a cottage on Kauka Lake Sat. night. We just relaxed by the water and also had a great dinner out. It was a much needed time of rest!
