This Past Week...

It's been a big week for us. I'm not going to go into tons of details or post pictures until later, but here are the highlights:

I turned 30 this past week. It was a big birthday, but honestly, with so much going on, I hardly remember even having a birthday. I did get a few special gifts, which I'll share more about later...



Next, 90 stands for the years God has given my grandmother. Her health has really failed this past week, so I went up to Michigan to spend a little time with her before she passes on. Let me tell you, she has exemplified the way a Christian should die: with complete peace and a sweetness of spirit that can only be explained as the grace of God at work in her life. I'll never forget those precious moments with her. 


We reached our "Five Months Waiting" date. Normally, these dates are a pretty big deal. This month, not so much... still, it is nice to be getting a little closer.


18 stands for the day that our sweet little niece, Lucy Jones, was born. She's an absolute doll and we love her already!   


And that all happened within the span of about 3 days. Crazy, huh?

Thinking of you as your time is getting closer and closer to your little one. And also, happy 30th birthday, thinking of your family with all that has gone on this week with your grandma, and congrats on being an auntie again!
