…so have you wondered where we have been??  So have we :).  Its been a really long time since our last post and our lives are way different!  Here are some highlights:

• We have our little GIRL!!!  Reagan is almost 5 months old and such a joy in our lives!!
• Caleb is four and just finished his soccer season!  Matt was the coach and I was officially a soccer mom!
• J is 2.5 and running full steam!  You would never guess he was ‘behind’ physically for such a long time.  The boy has moves you have never seen!
• I am loving being home with all three kiddos and still craft when I can!  Most of my crafts lately have been baby items-due to it is baby season around here.  I fully love it!  I’m sure I’ll post pictures of some of my items in future posts!
• Matt is still doing Broken Voices, and he and Andrew Morgan have started a for profit video company, One Voice Media, as well.
• We now truly use every square inch of our house.

Come check us out ATL!!!  We will have lots of cute things for sale!!!!

My eyes are already teary eyed as I sit down to write this post.  Prepare yourself for a heart whelming post about a wife’s love and appreciation for her husband :). 

Three weeks ago I left with my mom, two of my siblings, and my boys to go visit my sister and her cowboy in Arkansas.  It was such a fun trip!  The boys were amazing sports!  They had their first camping experience on top of being able to attend a roping, ride horses and four-wheelers, and be with family we love!!  Although it was such a fun trip, it was hard aswell.  It was hot.  It was a long drive.  I am pregnant.  🙂 

Haha short and simple…but I am sure that paints some what of a picture for you!  My sister, Olivia,  and Cody just bought their first home and it was so cool to see it and how they are personalizing it to make it theirs!   One thing that they want to do is to recounter their kitchen counters with new laminate.  When I heard that and saw they had already purchased their new laminate.  I could have teared up…or maybe I did.  I was SO excited for her, but to explain where I am coming from I must tell you this:  I have wanted new laminate for over five years.  Ours was peeling off…and actually most of the counters didn’t even have laminate.  It was just wood.  Please hear clearly I did not think less of my sis thinking she did not NEED new stuff.  They did not have as big of counters and Cody’s uncle could install it for free-so for a really minimal cost they could make their kitchen match their “theme” and colors for the house.  I was so happy for her, but it made me sad…probably because I was a hormonal, tired, preggo.  Without saying ANYTHING to Matt I came home to this in progress…

He had bought new laminate and was installing it!!  I was so so thrilled and felt God hugging me right there through my husband’s love and care.  We have wanted to buy it for years but was just not at a place to do so.  Matt had been saving little by little HIS birthday money, some tax return money, and what not…to make this happen.  Not only that…he also bought a new stove top and had started it the week before Broken Voices’ biggest event of the year, Idea Farm.  He was at a place with his planning and prep for his event to pause and serve me.  It was  literally just days before launching something so huge for him/Broken Voices.  I was speechless and so humbled to see my kitchen torn apart and changing before my eyes. 

I have never known a more selfless individual, and one who is so talented!!  He can literally read or watch something and then do it!  He spent hours researching WHERE was the best place and price to buy it, HOW to buy it, HOW to make it happen (our counters are wider than standard size in one area), and HOW to do it.  The print outs of instructions, the videos watched on the internet, the reading up and seeking advice…is all what he did to make this happen.  That is LOVE played out.

I feel so blessed to be married to this incredible man and to have a heavenly father orchestrating time to prepare me to be so humbled and see his hand at work in my life.  I don’t think those counters would mean nearly as much if they had not come at this point in time.  God knows what is best! 

Today I am praising God for keeping me humble in his hand/control over my life because he knows what’s best!!

On Friday, we participated in Cow Appreciation Day at Chick-Fil-A.  It was so fun!!  We dressed up as cows, and we received FREE combo meals EACH  for doing so!

Caleb’s costume was a little snug.  Turns out using a pattern might have been a good idea!  🙂  Poor guy got squeezed into it twice!  Ha did I mention we ate two meals at Chick-Fil-A????  We had lunch with Stacy and then we went back on our own for dinner!!!  By the end of the day there might have been a slight big hole in Caleb’s costume from him trying to walk.  J got mad when I took his shirt of because he LOVED the googly eyes his cow had! 

It was such a fun day and a special memory to be sure to put in the scrapbooks!!
