Romans 12:9-13
"Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality."

What Chris has been up to lately......

I realize I probably don't update on what Chris is doing as much as I should so I figured this was necessary....He probably won't be taking any deep sea fishing trips for awhile (at least until he's back to work) but here's a some pics of his favorite hobby from some months past :) They typically like to go about 15-30 miles out (too long of a day for me!) and leave at 4:30 am!






Yes that is a shark

And yes, that is a gun...

Redneck Ninja....there are no words......

I cannot believe I'm posting this but the guy is really serious, its hilarious...Enjoy!

Aint No Sunshine When She's Gone......

Back in the beginning of March, John surprised Ashley by flying me up to Atlanta for a visit! She was so shocked she cried :) I'm glad we were able to pull it off and we had a great time! They were fantastic hosts and have done a great job working on their new home up in Canton. I am thankful we have managed to see each other every couple of months to stay close! Thank you guys for having me! Here's some of our fun from the week!



We went to the Georgia Aquarium and saw the Titanic exhibit...they actually give you the name of an actual passenger when you go in and at the end of the exhibit you get to see if you lived....we all lived (I think). Very interesting!








John and Ashley took me to a Braves game and bought baby boy Lettow his first sports outfit! Its so cute and tiny! Can't wait till he makes his debut and can wear it! The little shoes are adorable!

Some Pictures from Recent Months

I have decided to put most of my pictures here instead of facebook for various reasons...Hope you enjoy!

The family was thrilled to watch Katie Williams graduate from nursing school- here are a couple of pictures from graduation and her celebration party! Ashley and John also got a new pup that they brought down to Jax with them recently...she's a cocker and her name is Molly- we love her already! You know how we welcome dogs in this family....







She has some gorgeous eyelashes!

We also recently celebrated Katie's 22nd birthday! Wow how time flies....we went to Outback and Katie had a great joey steak (she always orders the kids meal steak! ha!)







































Happy Birthday Kate! You know you love when they sing to you ;) We all "helped" her eat the dessert!

Beginning of Updates!




Hi Everyone- I can't believe how long its been since I updated! But alot has been going on with us so I want to fill you in on all the highlights....to say the least we have really learned to COMPLETELY trust God with all our needs....




To start the excitement, I was laid off from my job at the beginning of March :( I did not have any plans to go back after the baby was born but I hoped to maybe be able to work part time from home...so as suprising as it was, we had already been saving and just continued to cut back where we could.




A little before this we found out we are having a BOY! We are so thrilled...it has been so exciting feeling him grow and planning for him. As I write this I am now already in my third timester! Our due date is still set for August 2nd but I am already beginning to feel like its summer so I'm just trying to enjoy these last few months. How amazing to see how God shapes and forms in the womb!




Our latest news is that Chris was laid off this last week, hopefully not for long but as you can imagine with planning for baby in a little over 2 months- this was a shock to us! We know God will completely supply our needs and thankfully Chris has some side work. This is no suprise to God and we completely trust in his sovereign plan for us and this little boy to come! So I would like to ask for your prayers as we make financial decisions. Chris is set to take the rest of his master's test for his business in July so I would also like to ask prayer for that!




I would really love to keep this updated more now since the little one will be here soon! Be sure to check back- I hope to get some pictures up from the last couple of months!




Love you all!
