Just call me J-LO

May I start by saying, GOD IS AMAZING!! He works in our lives in ways we can't see and then all the sudden- BAM. We see them. I got a call about 2 weeks ago with a job offer to be a wedding coordinator! I have been praying and searching for a part-time job that would be flexibly kind to a new mommy. Finally when I had given up, the phone rang and there it was. I am so astounded at this amazing Father we serve. Although I have known His goodness my whole life, I am still pleasantly surprised and humbled when He continues to shower His blessings! I will be beginning this new venture in a few weeks with my first wedding being on Valentine's Day. So if you live in the area or just want to get married in the beautiful Grand Valley (haha) CALL ME! :)

My baby is all of the sudden a walker...

Mr. Britton is OFFICIALLY walking like a crazy walking fool. He took his first steps (without falling) this evening with a very happy and proud grandma and grandpa watching, while weaving in and out of two black dog obstacles. Once he figured it out, there was NO stopping him. He walked and walked and explored the house, turning around to make sure someone was near-by and plopping on his little diaper-clad butt every once in a while...My heart is so full- and so sad! My baby is growing up so quickly, which is so fun and wonderful to watch, but also makes part of me long for the days when he slept 22 hours on my tummy, when I could lay him down in one spot with a dot on the wall to keep him entertained for an hour, when he snuggled and needed me so much all the time... but I am thrilled that he is advancing and growing and loving life; he is healthy and smart and beautiful and we are so very blessed to have him!
