Nathan and I also placed membership at Golf Course Road Church of Christ this week.  My parents got to come to church with us this morning when they made it official!  It was wonderful to get to see them and it was a great Sunday!

Here are a few pictures that I should have posted a while ago from My mom and I's visit to Midlothian to see my nephews, Crockett and Rustin.  We get to see them this next weekend too!  I can't wait to watch Nathan meet Rustin for the first time!  :)

Love to Everyone!!!!

Congrats Kyler and Meagan!!! :)

My sweet little brother, Kyler, is engaged to the love of his life, Meagan!  He proposed to her on Thursday night of their cruise with her family.  They are so perfect for each other, and I am so thankful to have Meagan added to our family!!!!  I think they are going to be engaged for about a year and are looking at Aug. 4, 2012 for their wedding day.  That is really cool because it is also our parent's anniversary!  I told my mom the other day that I think they have the best daughters and son-in-law that anyone could ask for!  Our family has been incredibly blessed by God through marriages!  My parents,  grandparents, Kellen and Jessica, Nathan's parents, and Christopher and Natalie are great examples of Godly marriages in our lives, and I can't wait to celebrate, another soon to be amazing marriage, with Kyler and Meagan!  I can't wait to see how wonderful this next year is going to be planning for their wedding!  Yea!!!!

Well, Nathan finally did the unthinkable and said yes to getting a puppy!  :)  HOOOORRRAAAAYYYY!!!!!!!!  Banjo is so much fun and really lazy.  It's great!  I'm a little nervous because he's a chewer right now, but I have been on my guard, and he hasn't hurt anything yet!  haha.  He's so precious!!!  THANKS NATHAN!!!!  :)

Looking for a Friend in Furr! :)

Nathan is out of town this week and the next, and I have thrown myself into finding a furry companion!  I have been looking online, called a couple pet stores, and even bought a newspaper for the classifieds.  I'm going to look at the animal shelter today to see if they have any available.  The only problem is that Nathan is allergic to shedding dogs, so I need to find one that can live with us without leaving hair everywhere!  I'm hoping I find something that is little and allergy-sufferer friendly.  Let me know if you know of anything.  Here are some pictures of puppies I have found.  They are so cute and little!!!!

"They're SO FLUFFY!!!!"

Asa Rustin Holleman! :)

Asa Rustin Holleman was born Tuesday morning at 3:48 am!  He was 6lbs 15oz. and 19 3/4 inches long.  Natalie is doing great, and Asa is healthy healthy.  :)  Prayers of thanks for this little gift!  I get to go see him and the Hollemans this weekend, and I can't wait to hold that precious baby and play with my sweet Crockett!  Here are some pictures Natalie has sent us.  I'll have more when I go!  :)

Baby Asa Day One.

Asa and his Gran Gran!

Look at those CHEEKS!!!  AHHHH!!!

Last Week! :)

This last week was my first week working at Golf Course Road Church of Christ.  It was absolutely wonderful!  :)  I feel so blessed to be there already, and I just keep falling more in love with the church everytime we go.  Needless to say, I am loving my job. YAY!

Flowers for my first day from Pete and Lori!  I have the best In-Laws!

Nathan is working really hard at PDAP because their big Extreme Youth Leadership camp is coming up in a couple weeks.  I'm so proud of him, and how hard he works at his job.  He's so great!  Nathan and I were hoping that we would be going to Midlothian for Asa Rustin's birth this weekend, but he has decided he wants to wait a little longer.  We're just waiting for the call!  C'om Asa, we want to meet you!!!!  :)  Instead of rushing off to Midlothian, we got to go watch No Dry County play in Odessa.  They are so good!  Check them out! http://www.reverbnation.com/nodrycounty  Trent and Mitchell played at our wedding, and they were amazing!!!!!

This Saturday was also our third month to be married!  How quickly time flies when you're having so much fun!  I love you so much Nathan!!!!

At No Dry County concert! 

Chronicles 29:13! :)

I know it has been too long since my last post.  Nathan and I have been so busy.  A couple weeks ago, he went to Arkansas for a training with PDAP, and I went to Summer Excitement!

God did a lot of wonderful things in my life during Summer Excitement.  He brought me some new friends that live in Midland, Kent and AnneMarie Rogers.  The crazy thing is that I met them at Summer Excitement last year, but really got to know them this year.  God knew exactly what he was doing!!!!  They go to church at Golf Course Road Church of Christ, and they were telling me they had some job openings at the church.  Nathan and I had been praying that I got a new job because I haven't had the best time at daycare.  Kent and AnneMarie got me in touch with the important people and out of no where, I became the receptionist/assistant to the preaching minister!  THANK THE LORD!!!!  He brought Nathan and I some great new friends, and me a new job!  I start at GCR on Monday the 11th!  I'm so thankful, and Nathan and I feel truly blessed.

Now, our God, we give you thanks and praise Your glorious name.  Chronicles 29:13
