Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.

Kastyn Kade!

Kastyn Kayde has been kicking or punching me here a lot lately, I am not sure which it is but I sure can feel it. Last night her daddy was talking to her and trying to feel her through my stomach. I could barely feel her but Justin couldn't at all. Jokingly Justin says to Kastyn (my belly). I'm going to spank you. Right at that moment she kicked me so hard it about made Justin jump. I told him that Kastyn already knew what that meant and she didn't like it...haha!

I already know she is going to be so beautiful. Not because she is a part of me or her dad, but because God has created her and I know He wants her to be beautiful.

On a different note, tomorrow is the last Wednesday that we will have church in our old building. Sunday will be the 1st day to worship the LORD in our brand new church. It is much needed and I can't wait to see what God is going to do.
It reminds of the song God of this City, because Greater things are yet to come, and Greater things are still to be done in this city.

So sad!

Yesterday I found out that a good friend of mine has lost her baby (had a miscarriage). I had to go through one about a year ago and I know it is something I didn't want any of my family or friends to have to go through.
It is hard to know how to help or comfort them even though I just went through this. Everyone is different.
I am just so sad today for her and her family. I have been praying and I know God will take care of her and comfort her in ways none of us know how to. I felt that comfort from Him when I needed Him. I also feel comforted from my Father even when I don't really need it or think I need it.
She put this as her facebook status and I thought it was right on the mark---If life was always easy we wouldn't need a Savior. How true is that? Thank you Jesus for taking care of us.

The new, the old, the boring!

Hey all, I know I know I don't write on here as much as I should, but I just get so busy and I don't remember to.
School has started back up and I AM TIRED! I don't remember being this tired but it is probably the pregnancy. I am teaching 6th grade Math, Science, and Social Studies. So far I had a pretty good group of kids. LOTS of boys in both classes I think we have 24 boys and 12 girls. It makes for an interesting time though.

Justin and I have been working hard to get Kastyn Kayde's bedroom ready for her arrival. I know we are a bit early but we have extra money now so we are buying this we need. We just bought her bedding and now we are just waiting for it to come in. We also bought a stroller and car seat, baby monitor, and other little things. I am stocking up on diapers so I will be prepared when the time comes. Plus my mom has bought me some cloth diapers that I will use when I run out of the disposable ones. Now we just need to order the mural for her room I just got an unexpected check so I know what I am buying with that money..HEHE!!

Other than that things are pretty boring. I have made a really good friend here at school this year. She works in my room alot and we have been good friends. I hope we can start hanging out, outside of school because Justin and I really don't have friends that we hang out with much.

Well, ta ta for now. Love to all.

Kansas!

Justin and I headed back to Kansas last Friday. My mom and sisters were going to be there so I thought we could make a long weekend of it. I had so much fun.
On Sunday, my mom and my best friend Kymberly threw me a shower for little Kastyn Kayde. We got lots of great stuff and lots of hair bows for her. We are getting excited and now I am kind of in a nesting stage because I want to get Kastyn's room for her arrival, even if she isn't coming til December. I am trying to be more organized with her stuff. We have lots of diapers already.

When we were in Dodge City we went to the famous Dodge City Days Parade. I love going to it, but I haven't been able to in many years. We also got to see my cousin's new baby that she had the Monday before we left. I would write her name but I have no idea how to spell it. She is a cutie.
