We're moving!!

I am proud to announce that we are moving to the state of Texas!!! Concho Baptist Church voted 100% to hire Brandon as their youth pastor! So we are anxiously getting ready to move the third week of March! We are in the process of going through boxes that have been in "storage" for 2 years and re-organizing and packing those up! Donating, selling, cleaning, etc! We are color coding our boxes with colored duct tape! The sweet pastors wife has asked for specific details on how we want the house painted so it is our "home!" I am thrilled beyond belief that God isn't done with us! He still has plans for us!

Cakes, Texas, Valentine's









I'm sitting in a quiet house listening to the the wash machine and dryer and smelling a chocolate cake in the oven! Jaxen is still napping and it is a Friday! Friday's are my days off and I look forward to them so much! I love getting to play with my Jaxen and get things done around the house!

This past weekend we attended a church in Texas to candidate for a youth pastor position there. It is 10 hours from our current home and praise the Lord we were able to fly! That 10 hours is projected but I'm sure they don't take my 2 year old in to account for the timing! We had a fantastic trip! We absolutely love the pastor and his family! The were so welcoming and made us feel like part of the group just sitting around the kitchen table! Their youngest daughter is 7 and my Jaxen was smitten! He would have followed her anywhere! The church there will be voting on hiring us this upcoming Sunday and then the ball is in our court.

Valentine's Day was Brandon and my's 9th one together! We both had to work all day but that night we went to Fazoli's which is where our first date (group date) was in 2004 and sat in the same booth!! Then we went to see the movie "The Vow"! Loved it! There were a few things in the movie I wish they would have left out but overall good!

The above pictures are 2 cake orders I've made and then Jaxen posing showing his tattoo!
