The Latest

I realized that I pretty much only put up pictures of Gavin and talk about him every posting (which I know is all people really care about!) so I thought I'd update everyone on what's going on in mine and Andrew's lives!
I am having such a blast being a mom. It's so much fun! I love having Gavin with me all the time and taking him everywhere. He's my little buddy! I'm also plugging away at Arbonne. It's going great and I'm getting more and more busy with it. It's been the perfect thing to be able to build a business and work it around my family. I love helping others and seeing the products and company make a difference in people's lives! Between that and being a wife and a mother, my days are pretty full! I'm also working out at the ymca several times a week now (there's a beautiful brand new one 2 miles down the road!). It's been nice to get back in shape!
As for Andrew, he's working hard with his dad in construction. Their business has really been growing. God's really blessing them and providing! He's still on the waiting list for the Rochester city fire department and is in the process of joining the volunteer department in our town. That will be good because they pay for him to get his emt. There are several suburb areas that have payed departments here and they higher through the county who is offering the test in June. Andrew will be taking it and getting on that list too. We'd actually much rather be in a suburb area (and they also pay more). We'd appreciate prayer about that! It's looking like the city will not have any possibilities for openings for at least another year, so hopefully something will come about sooner with the county.
We have still not settled into a church. Which has been very hard because that means we still haven't gotten and group of friends. We have a few up here and of course our families but we're still searching for something even close to what we had in Jacksonville for church/friends. Though we will never replace you guys!
The weather is finally getting warmer (in the 60's and 70's) and the buds are coming out! It was a long winter and the sunshine and blue sky are feeling good! It's great to get out for walks with Gavin!
I guess that's about it for now! We'll keep the updates coming!
