WHERE TO START?!

Start by doing what's necessary;

then do what's possible;

and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

- St. Francis of Assisi

Life has taken such an unexpected but amazing turn for us! I look back at where we used to be and where we are now and simply smile! 

On April 7th, 2011 we had the most amazing blessing come into our lives...

Kurstyn Jon Kirkwood

It's funny to me how things pan out without you ever knowing it is coming! God truly has a plan for all of us... just be patient and wait! 

He sure knew exactly what I needed and when I needed it! When I found out I was pregnant... well, it was a shock! Now I think "How did I ever live without her!" :D God knew I needed her though... He knew my Family needed her! 

Three months before Kurstyn was born He opened up another opportunity for us...

A NEW/OLD HOME! God granted us the opportunity of buying the home that my dad originally grew up in! It is just Perfect for me and Kurstyn! I will never forget heading to my grandparents (I was about 6 months at the time!) thinking "God, what have I gotten myself into? I don't even have a home to raise her in... She doesn't deserve this!" About twenty minutes later, I received that wonderful phone call from my mom telling me that their neighbor wanted to sell the house to us and wanted to be out in about three months! What an AWESOME GOD!! 

Kurstyn is now ONE and as I have stated before life has taken some amazing turns and So much more has happened ...

Sonni Graduated from LSU, Got Engaged, was hired at Lane Regional Medical Center, started working on her Masters, and Timmy was accepted into nursing school at USA! 

Sam is going on her Fourth year now as a Teacher and Coach at Parkview Baptist, working on her Masters, and just bought a house... She will be our new Neighbor!!! :D 

Mom and Dad... Well, They have been the BEST Grandparents!! Kurstyn loves them so so much, as they do her! Mom finally got the Full Time job she has been wanting, and DAD... Dad has his hands full with all of us Girls!! :D   

 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Romans 12:12
