It has been a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time since I've blogged. Oops. I guess it just got away from me and I didn't really realize how long it had been.
Let's see what my update should say:
I don't really remember much about March. In April Matt and I went to Destin, Florida with family for a week. It was so much fun and definitely the break we needed from all the "stuff" we've dealt with over the last year and a half. It was good to see family that we don't normally get to see that often and to see them for more than one day. Usually its just Christmas day which is never enough time to catch up.
We came back from Destin with a vacation baby. Yep, I came back pregnant. We found out because I also came back from Destin super sick. Turns out I needed my gallbladder removed. I went for my pre-op appointment and they called to let me know my surgery was canceled because I was pregnant. (Note: this was on April 17th, the same day J.J. and Jordan were due) I had been so nervous about how I'd feel on April 17th but the Lord blessed us with another baby that day and it became a very bittersweet day. Sadly on April 30th, I miscarried. We still trust that God has a plan for our family and we grieved the lost but trust that He is soverign.
Miscarrying allowed me to have my gallbladder out on May 11th. I was nervous going into surgery but it turned out to the be the easiest surgery I have had. I had surgery on Monday and by Thursday I felt "back to normal."
Once I was better from surgery, my job search continued. I applied at so many places and yet was getting so few phone calls. It was hard during that time to trust God's plan because I knew my unemployment was quickly running out.
God is gracious and about a week and a half ago a good friend from college called to tell me about a lady at his church who needed to fill a spot in the office at her pest control company and needed to fill it quickly. Long story short: my unemployment ran out on Sunday, June 21st, and I started my new job at Carolina Pest Control on Monday, June 22nd. God is sneaky huh?
I am loving my new job and the folks I work with. One other lady and I are responsible for the scheduling and billing and lots of other "stuff." It keeps us busy. :-) Thanks so much for those of you who were praying for my employment issues. God showed He had a plan in His perfect timing.
Matt is still working his weird hours and this is making it difficult to see one another but we'll get that worked out somehow.
Church is going well. Matt does such a great job leading music and we love our family there so much!
We are looking forward to July 4th. Each year we spend it up in the mountains with friends from North Greenville.
Mom and dad's house still hasn't sold so keep praying.
I suppose that is all for now. I'll try to get back in the habit.
Later.
