Leap of Faith

A few of my favorite moments from last week:Taking CR lunch when he was planting across town.
Sitting by herself on the hay bale.

Playing with the old tools in great-granddaddy's barn.

Trying out Jenny Jumper - she did not like it so much because she still doesn't weigh enough to make it go all the way down to the ground. She ended up spinning in circles.

Eating her yummy, yummy Mangoes that she loves so much!!

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding." Proverbs 3:5

I took the plunge, and CR and I are going out on a leap of faith .... I told my school the Friday before Spring Break that I would not be coming back to teach next year. Whew ... what a load off of my shoulders and how freeing it felt to tell them. CR and I know with 100%, no doubt, the Lord will take care of us. This is what I will get to enjoy everyday, instead of just on breaks and weekends:

Funny story: this weekend my dad had his yard working hat on and he looked just like her! Same beautiful eyes and smile.
What a wonderful Spring Break we had. The first part of the break we stayed in town and did things around the house. The picture above is from before a baseball tournament we went to pick up some BBQ from and visit. When we got there, one of my favorite families said, "Well all is well now, look, our little girl is here." She is so happy outside and around all of her adopted Calallen aunts and uncles. It is so funny to see these big, athletic, deep voiced men turn into goo around her. Makes me laugh every time. I was able to (finally) get her letters done for her name on her wall:

I messed with the ISO on my camera over the break as an experiment, and it did not turn out well, so some of the pics may look too "noisy" or grainy. I will take another picture when I actually get them up on the wall .. let's hope that doesn't take another 6 months!

On Wednesday we traveled towards Montgomery. We stopped in Richmond to meet Megan, Mom, Grandma, and Kyleigh for lunch. Then we trotted around the corner (literally) to check out a new retirement subdivision for Grandma. It was extremely nice. She has so much to think about, but I know that down sizing and being closer to everything would be very beneficial to her. I know that Kyleigh does not want her to move, though. She did not come right out and say it, but as we drove in I said, "Kyleigh, look how nice this place is." "It's weird, Lala. It doesn't look like a place where we could ride our bikes and grandma wouldn't like that." Wednesday night we finally got to Montgomery and settled in there for a few days. Friday I had some people over at mom's for a Montgomery Mary Kay gathering. I got to see Chelette, Charleigh, and Jaden (whohoo) as well as Shannon. It was so good to catch up with friends! My director, Katie, even came all the way down from Dallas to share her time and help me with my next level of training. For those who did not know, I have "re-opened" my Mary Kay store and I am going full fl edge ahead with it. I am trying to reach my goal of director for many reasons and will share all of the joys of Mary Kay in another post.
