20 Weeks & Good News

 I've been relying on James to take my monthly pictures, so far this month's my favorite. You can really tell I'm pregnant! Oh the month's ahead, I'm gonna be huge. 




Its official, they are both BOYS! I am gonna sure have my hands full, but I'm excited for the journey. At 20 weeks they both were already almost a pound, in other terms they're BIG for twins! I definitely will be delivering early, there's no way I'm carrying around more than 12 pounds of baby. Not gonna happen. 

 
 Not the best picture, but you can see his button nose, just like his Mommy's!


 This one is just too funny, the tech said she got it by complete accident, wasn't even trying. We laugh at it every time! Can you see what I'm talking about?!


I call this one "The Tebow".

Well for some good news, JAMES GOT A JOB! He got hired on at Mercy Hospital in Joplin as a Financial Counselor. It's not ideally what he was wanting but its a great start, especially while he's in Graduate school. Plus its a job! Which means we can finally move out and into a place of our own!! WAHOO!!!! I've been on cloud nine for a week now knowing our life is back on track. The day he got his job we found a duplex and got it the same day, and are moving in TOMORROW! Can you tell how excited I am? I have been in nesting mode for a while and haven't been able to do anything about it, but now I can and am so anxious to get started. I have so many plans for the babies room. It's gonna be stinking adorable. 

So the moral to this exciting news is: having faith in the Lord's plan will always lead to blessings. I seriously was struggling not knowing what was gonna happen to us, but I kept praying for the Lord's hand to guide us and that James hard work would be rewarded. And what do ya know. He answered. He always does. Maybe not always in the time frame we want, as evidence in my case. But nonetheless, He does.

Uplifting Quotes

The other day the website I follow for coupons and deals listed an awesome deal for a free 8x10 canvas print. She gave the idea of printing a quote or saying you might have liked from Pinterest, which I thought was an excellent idea. I've been wanting to have more encouraging and uplifting words in my home. So I took the opportunity and searched some pins for a good quote and found one I HAD to have. Except I wasn't so fond of how it was pictured, so I took it upon myself to make my own:

My plan is to put pictures of my babies around it. So excited. 

I had so much fun making that one that I had to do some more. I perused for some more quotes online and found that all my favorite ones were by Gordon B. Hinkley. No surprise, he was my favorite person, probably still is. 

                    

  
 
This quote spoke to me the most and am really happy with how it turned out. It will definitely be getting printed and displayed in my home, whenever I finally get one.
