Well- I've done it again... I have gone way too long without posting. I guess this is the life of my blog! I am going all the way back to our fall trip to the mountains. I love the leaves in the fall and for the last several years I have wanted to go to the mountains and we have never made it. This year, we took off one Sunday to Chimney Rock. It was beautiful. I absolutely love being outside during the fall. We walked up to the "Chimney" and then hiked onto the top of the mountain. We had such a fun time together. I love a planned trip or event, but I also love a spur of the moment trip with Matt. We should take advantage of the ability to just go.... because when we finally get "the call", it won't be that easy.
Matt and I also got to keep Emma and Evan for their first night away from Marcie and Justin. Marcie and Justin went to a concert and weren't going to get home until late so I asked her if they could just spend the night with us. She was worried about them sleeping...... but they did fine. We went to Connie Maxwell and saw all the animals and played on the swing set. We saw a "Llamee" as Evan would say it. We also saw goats. They were unsure of the goat when it practically stuck his entire neck through the fence to get to them. After Connie Maxwell, we went over to the train yard for them to see the trains. It was getting dark, so we just sat in the car and watched one of the trains leave out. I'm not sure if Evan or Matt enjoyed it more. Then we went to Chick-fil-a and headed home. We put them in our room in the pack-n-plays and Emma cried for just a little while. Evan ended up sleeping with Matt in one bed and Emma slept with me in the other. They did good and we had fun. Hope we can have another spend the night party soon!!
Until we get our own baby- we will spend our days spoiling and loving on these sweet babies (not that we will stop when we get our own baby :)!! They crack me up, I am thankful that God placed them in our lives!! As far as the baby front... we haven't heard anything. If you are following our blog, chances are you are a friend of ours! Please join us in prayer as we wait for God's plan to unfold in our lives. We know he is working on our behalf. I pray that we will not grow weary during "the wait". We have been waiting 8 months now. The time has flown. In my bible study over the last several weeks, I have been reminded that God has the perfect timing for everything. We have been studying John in Sunday School, so I have been in John during my quiet time. As I read about Jesus' days on Earth and his ministry, it stuck out how many times it said, The leaders tried/wanted to arrest him, but his time had not yet come. It was just a reminder that God's timing is perfect and who am I to question or want it any other way? He knows best, I just have to trust that! So I will leave you with a verse to ponder. It means so much to me!
"
For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end [fulfillment]; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait [earnestly] for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day." Habakkuk 2: 3
We have so much to look forward to. As I watched Matt's 95 year old grandmother pass from this life to the next, I was quickly reminded that while there are trials in this life, we have an indescribable inheritance awaiting us in heaven. Thank goodness for that hope as well!
