last weekend we decided to take a last minute trip down to rocky point, mexico with my cousins and their baby girl and my aunt and uncle. this was baby C's first international vacation!! we stayed in a gorgeous home with nothing & no one surrounding us. i grew up going to rocky point, but i have never been to this area before. we had such a nice relaxing time. the boys hit golf balls off of the property onto the beach, and then we would retrieve them and start all over. we ate more chips/salsa/guacamole than i could have ever thought was possible. and us new mommy's had massages while the boys went into town looking for tequila.
one of the day's we went into town and checked out the fish market. some mariachi's came to our table and i asked them to sing jalisco & guadalajara. two songs that my poppy used to sing to me. i didn't realize until later that evening, that it was 18 years ago on that exact day that my poppy went home to be with the Lord. i know that the he was there, looking down on his great grandson and smiling!!
this was a week of blessings!! we are so thankful for all He did for us this week, because we know that we did absolutely nothing to deserve His favor! first, we were able to sell and close on D's house. second, D was offered and he accepted a management position! and lastly, i gave my resignation at work!! starting mid-december i will get to be a full-time stay-at-home mommy to the most adorable little boy in the world!
three weeks ago we decided that staying at home was a priority, and that we really needed to take a leap of faith. we knew there would never be a perfect time to signifacantly reduce your family income. we knew that we wanted to finish baby step #3, but all the other things {like get a new car, finish our backyard, etc.} would have to wait. we had been praying about this for months, starting when i got pregnant. and we really felt that God was telling us to take a step of faith, and trust in Him. literally within a week of making this decision, D was approached about two management positions at his company. not one... two!! talk about God confirming that this was the right decision.
baby c has been absolutely wonderful this week! as always, he is such a happy baby! he has really found his voice this week, and talks ALOT. here he is during one of his morning conversations with pop. and below are his project 365 pics from the week.
aloha! i live in the desert but my heart is at the beach. i have an incredible husband, i'm blessed with two great parents who are still married, and i am captivated by the love of christ!!
