I am so excited that it is fall! The weather is wonderful outside today and I am ready to start a new season.. in more ways than one. I was talking to a friend a few weeks ago and we both found ourselves in the same position. Wishing our life away. I think I had this idea of where I would be in my life at 25, and I do not feel that I am there. I am constantly waiting for the next step in life.. husband, house, kids, job, whatever it is. And once I get what I was wanting I say my whole one minute of thank you for the blessing to my wonderful Father and am on to the asking process again! I want this season to be all about the THANK YOUs!! Praises to my Father for all that I have, instead of rushing my life. I am so truely blessed and I know this with all my heart so I am excited to stop and let God know I know.. if that makes sense!
Sooo.. what we have been up to...
Wes and I have been SUPER busy, both working 14 hour days, barely seeing each other! I wanted to take a picture of our apartment today. It was such a mess: 2 baskets and 3 bags of clean laundry, dishes all over the counter, Wes's work papers ALL over (really, like 7 piles), Chanel would have to search for somewhere to lay, poor darling! But I had the day off and got to CLEAN... not something I normally like to do, but it was so messy I was actually excited to have the time to scrub this place down, and Chanel was excited to have somewhere to lay her precious head!
This is an old picture, but I thought it was cute for the post.
I became a nanny over the summer and had every intention of going back to subbing if I did not get a teaching position (which I did not) but I was asked to stay as a nanny for the boys. I did alot of praying about it, and I felt that this is where God wanted me right now. So I stayed with the family. Walker is 4 and Grant is 2. They are precious.. sometimes it is stressful, but I just have to stop and remember how blessed I am to be able to see these adorable faces every day. Who gets to go to playgrounds and Barnes and Noble as their job??? Pretty nice when I stop and think about it! :)

Wes has been very busy also, and he has become a group leader for a small group with the students at our church. I am so proud of him for getting involved! He gave up his basketball night with the guys, which was a sacrifice cause that is his only guy time. But God has given Wes the gift of leadership and I can't wait to see how He uses Wes. But don't feel to bad for him, cause he is having a whole weekend of boy time right now. He left yesterday for Wyoming, and will being hiking and hanging out doing man things with his best friends Chris. So he can't complain. Hopefully we will have beautiful nature pictures to share when he gets back!
