Big Fat Update

Considering it's been four months since my last entry, you have probably assumed we're either dead, too busy, or just bad bloggers. Well two out of three ain't bad. Soooo much has happened in our lives in the past few months. As you may remember, we sold our home in OKC in September and moved to a house on my boss's land in the country. Other than a couple ticks and a 58" snake, we've managed to avoid run-ins with the critters.

In mid February I decided to leave my job after 5 1/2 years with nothing but God's peace ahead of me. My last day with Aduddell was February 28 and I spent the next two weeks polishing up my resume and meeting with anyone who would give me a few minutes. After a couple weeks we found a house we both loved and it hit us, "No job... no house." But God had a plan. After seeing the house for the first time we went to Panera for lunch. As we ate and talked about how to buy the house, I got a text message from a guy wanting to talk to me about coming to work for him... cool part is, he had no idea I had quit my job.

So we bought the house!!! We closed April 23 and have had workers in it for a week. We are so excited and plan to start moving our stuff by Tuesday. We'll post before and after pics once we move in.

God certainly made a way for us where there seemed to be no way. But all of that pails in comparison to our excitement for our little girl coming a 3 weeks! We are so blessed to have Crew and have no words for the thrill it will be to add another part to our family. God has a plan, and it is good.

Christmas Beard

I know I'm not alone when it comes to being lazy around the holidays. I eat whatever I want, don't exercise... or more accurately, continue to not exercise, and I don't shave for a couple weeks. When the new year rolls around I feel like a tub of goo and look like a fat Jesus.
This year I went to my stylist (of course I have a stylist) and after looking through her magazine of styles, I asked her to give me The American Chopper:

Me with an American Chopper look is only gonna get me beat up. So I asked her to give me the 1970s Frat Guy.
I wasn't convinced I could pull it off so I asked her to give me The Father In Law.
And then just for fun, I asked her to give The Beastie Boys Sabotage Video Guy.
OK, I really don't have a stylist. And if you thought I did, you might get your tail whipped by American Chopper Dagen. I shaved it all of and grew my beard back so look for more fun with facial hair later this month.
