Behind.

Would you believe that I haven’t picked up my camera in a couple weeks? I really really need to – even if it’s just a few snapshots of our day. I’m enjoying and making as much time as possible with Reese, forgetting the camera. But, I promise you, we are making some fun memories.

Let’s see…that last couple weeks have been busy busy busy. Clay, as you know, works for Wachovia, who just merged with Wells Fargo last week. Glad that merger is over and maybe one day we can truly know what “bankers hours” mean because that sure hasn’t been the case with 60-70 hour work weeks (nope, no overtime, he’s salary. BOO!). I’ve certainly felt like a single mom the last few weeks and we haven’t seen much of Clay – as a husband or daddy. Reese and I have busied ourselves with playdates, pool time, beach time, friends and just time at home with the two of us. I have enjoyed every single minute of it and wouldn’t trade my time with her for anything in the world. Just wish daddy was in it a little bit more….but, the bills have to be paid and right now, his job is very demanding. He has some time off in about a week or so and we are SO ready for that. We don’t have any plans….yet. We thought we were going to be able to get out of town for a couple days but Wachovia shorted him some money on his bonus that we were going to use it for….so, thanks to that…we’ll just be staying here. Enjoying time together.

This past week, my granny and papa came over to help me “re-vamp” our playroom. That’s the one room I have never really done anything with because I just knew it would be a nursery sooner than later so I didn’t want to put much time and effort into it. Well, that plan didn’t work out so well, so granny encouraged me to do something with it. I’m so thankful I did – it literally hurt my heart to be in that room…and doing what we did has helped my heart heal a little bit quicker. We put a bed in there and decorated with an old bedspread of my grannys. She and my papa repainted a shelf that used to be hers when she was little and we did some MAJOR reorganizing!

(Excuse Clay relaxing on the bed )

We may paint. We may not. But, at least it’s better now than looking at a VERY unorganized room with WAY too many toys.

Reese, Nona and I spent some time at the beach twice in the last week….Reese has had a BLAST and so have we. Definitely will be a top pick for days we want to get out of the house.

 

On a more personal note, the Lord is doing some neat things in the hearts of Clay and I. I can’t wait to share…not yet. But, I promise I will soon. It’s been neat to feel the Lord’s presence and changing of our hearts. He is still writing our story and we are trusting in the next steps. I have come to the realization that I probably will never be pregnant again…and that hurts my heart, but I know that is not our ultimate goal. Our goal is to complete our family. And we are trusting in HIM to guide our next steps. Stay tuned…this journey is not over.

Much love to you all.
