UPDATE!!

I'm back and I will be in action, I promise from here on out! There will be many more blogs full of exciting details about our lives here in Baton Rouge!! (Did you believe that exciting part?!) j/k! We do have some very exciting moments!

Update #1 - I am so very sad but filled with joy for our friends Jen and Grant as they are MOVING TO HOUSTON! Jen is from Houston, her family is there, and I know she has missed this place tremedously! What an exciting opportunity the Lord has presented to them and I fully trust in Him that he will continue to provide and show His glory to them! We will just be picking up kleenex all over our house for the first few weeks as we will miss them tremendously! ;) However, I know there will be many visits between us and about a billion phone calls thanks to Sprint to Sprint!

Update #2 - I know it was only about 4 months ago that I was writing very enthusiastically about my job at the LSU Childcare Center, but seasons change, and while I will miss many of the children I have grown close to at the center, Mo and I feel like it is time for me to move on as I've been offered a very exciting opportunity/position in my field. As of May 1, I will a Case Manager/Family Service Coordinator for Louisiana Early Steps. This is a state-funded program that provides services/resources to children ages 0-3 yrs. who are experiencing developmental delays. So basically I will be responsible for coordinating services between the families and the service providers (Occupational Therapists, Speech and Hearing Clinics, etc.) While I am SO VERY excited about this opportunity and thrilled to learn and grown in my field, I would be lying if I said I wasn't terrified. Ultimately I will have a caseload of 50 families for whom I will be responsible for. Please please pray in the comings months that I will have peace with my new position and that I won't experience too much anxiety!

Other than that exciting news, the hubby and I have just been enjoying our weekends together! Mo has been getting plenty of kayaking, fishing, and golfing in while I have been cleaning, shopping, and preparing for the spring! For those who don't know the wierd side of me, I LOVE to clean - it is very relaxing to me. There is nothing like a clean, organized house. It makes my day. However, I know it drives my husband CRAZYYYY!

Oh! AND we just ordered the TomTom ONE. With my new job, I will be driving all over town meeting with my families, and we've been wanting one anyway, so here it is! I can't wait until UPS arrives at my door!



Well my precious friends and family, that's about it for today! I hope everyone is having a great weekend! Love you all!
