Back to school, back to school

Hello all! 

It has been so long since I have posted. Things have been crazy the last week or so. We left on Sat. morning to head to IN. We have so far enjoyed being here for a longer stay. Usually we are only here for a weekend, but we wanted to enjoy it  :) 

Things have been crazy though. I decided to go back to school - yes I'm a a student again!! I have been trying to get everything in order because classes start next wed!! I will be doing all classes and everything online (so I don't have to leave Copeland) but there is just a lot to get done since I haven't been in school for 3 years. So if you think about it, say a little prayer for me. It will take a little getting used to things again!! :)

A little update on Copeland - he has been talking, or at least trying. He can say several words, but tonight before I put him to bed, he was giving everyone good night kisses and we were all saying "night night" and he said it back!! It was the cutest thing ever!! For some people, that is not a big deal... but for us it's a big deal! Copeland just hasn't really started talking clearly or using sentences yet so any new word is a big step!! I asked his doctor about this, and the doctor said he's fine and there is nothing to worry about until after he turns two or three - I just wish he would start really talking! But I will just leave it in God's hands. He can say drink, oliver, Beau (yes he calls daddy Beau), bite, that, ok, and a few others. He's growing up so fast. I'll try to get some pics up. They are still on the camera!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

Just the two of us...

What a week. It flew by, and to think we will be heading to IN again in just a week! November is going so fast! It was good to be home last week, but I just wish it had been under different circumstances. It was so good to see all my dad's family though. 

I still think of Jami and the girls and can't imagine what they are going through. 

It really makes me appreciate everything I have, and to still have my dad. I feel so blessed in all

areas of my life. I have a beautiful healthy baby boy, a healthy loving husband, caring parents, 

and a wonderful brother and sister! I would not say we are rich, but we are rich where it counts! 

I know the Lord will always take care of us and provide for us. Along with that, I am reading the 

book "The Shack" and it is a wonderful book that really helps me understand God and how he 

works. I have not finished it yet, but I recommend it! 

Anyway, I don't have any pictures from home because our camera broke, but 

we got a new one today so I can start taking pics again!

Beau is on a hunting trip tonight and tomorrow, so it's just Copeland and I, and Oliver :)

God Bless!!

Catching up and Prayer Request

It has been a while since I have posted! 

Last weekend I had a tastefully simple party, and two of my very best friends drove out here for it!! Thank you Kayla and Shaya!! We had so much fun just hanging out and talking. It was great having the two of them here! We only took one picture and that was with Shaya's camera so it's hard telling when I'll get it! :) 

This past weekend was another busy one. Friday night we passed out candy to what seemed like 1000 trick or treaters. We finally just left and went to a costume party. Then on Sat. the base put on a fall fest. It was a lot of fun. There was face painting, bouncy castles, food, a bonfire, and hay rides. We enjoyed taking Copeland on his first hay ride and then drank hot chocolate by the fire! What a great way to spend the evening!!  Of course then Sun. we went to church, took naps, and just relaxed the rest of the day. 

But then last night about 12:20, my mom called saying that my Uncle Jim (my dad's younger brother) had a heart attack and had passed. Please keep his wife, Jamie and their 3 girls in your prayers. We will be heading home tomorrow for the funeral. I'll leave you with a few pics of our weekend. 

God Bless!
