Yep! About 6-8 inches. I had to brush off cars for the first time in, I don't know how long. Kaelah loves it too...

I stink at this!
I know! It's been a while, hasn't it? Well, I'm here with some more pictures!
Things have been going great here in NC. I'm loving my job, I can't say enough how lucky we were to be hired within 4 days of moving here. Both of us with jobs we really love doing!
Still living with Mom and Dad, and its not bad. Chris and I are working out our finances and hope to own our own home finally. And soon!
It just amazes me how fast time fly's right on by. Can you believe Kaelah will be 21 months on Saturday? 21 MONTHS, people. That means she'll be 2 YEARS OLD in 3 months. I can't even express how I feel. It's a bit of mixed emotions--proud, sad, (that my little girl is growing up) happy, afraid, (to let go of that cute little girl who loved to cuddle all the time) and excited to see what the next year holds for us.
Alright, enough with this babble. These pictures were taken about 2 weeks ago. She is getting so big!
These were taken about a month ago. Katie likes to send me pictures to my phone once in a while when I'm at work. They make my day let me tell ya:
These were taken a little while ago from my phone. She was being too darn cute:

Quick Update...
Sorry I've been gone so long. Just wanted to let everyone know we are safely moved to NC without problems. 2 days later, I have a job...4 days later, Chris has a job.
We're really happy right now. Next step is to get caught up with money and save for a deposit on an apartment/rented house.
I'll have pics posted as soon as we have some internet at the house. (I'm at work on my lunch)
Just wanted to let everyone know we're doing good! Oh and Kaelah is adjusting very well to having Aunt Katie watch her while Mommy and Daddy work. :)
More to come soon, I promise!

Thank you, whoever you are...
I received a text just minutes after finding out we were negative in one of our bank accounts. Just another thing to add to our overflowing plate:
"Jeremiah 32:27 says 'Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: Is there anything too hard for me?'
gba"
I don't know who the number belongs to--it was probably meant for a friend in his/her phone book and didn't realize they changed their number...It wasn't a local number or one from anywhere that I've lived.
But it didn't go ignored. I needed that today. So, thank you, GBA. Whoever you are.
**UPDATE**
Chris called the company whom made the account bounce--they over charged us! So, now all we need to do to get the overdraft fees back is by having the company send the bank a letter explaining what happened. Good news!

Where will He take you?
Have you ever looked back on your life, and said, "WOW I've experienced A LOT!" I just had one of those moments today. I guess I'm able to say that not many have the opportunity to be where I've been or do what I've done in just the past 6 or so years.
I've attended a Marine Corps graduation ceremony, and have kept in contact with someone through only writing letters for 5 months. I've had the pride of calling my husband a Marine. I've moved 21 hours away from home in a 2 door car stuffed with everything I could fit, so I could be near my (now-ex) husband.
I can tell you that I've walked on the white beaches of Pensacola, FL. I have seen the inside of 3 military bases. I've lived through a major hurricane and saw just how much destruction nature can do to a town. I've seen jets fly so close to the ground I could see the pilot, and I've seen the Blue Angels fly. I've stopped my car in the middle of the road or stopped what I was doing to look at the closest American flag and put my hand over my heart when its evening 'colors' because that's what you're supposed to do. AND SHOULD.
I survived 2 deployments, both of which helped me become a more independent person and I proved to myself that I CAN be on my own. I've also had the opportunity to work for some AMAZING people, who now consider family and had a job that I couldn't wait to go to work the next day. I've lived in 3 different states, and have been traveled to so many different places, I can't count them on two hands.
Out of all these things (and more) that I've seen and done, most importantly I've become a mother. I had the opportunity to carry a child inside me, to hear the first cry from her mouth, to watch her grow, see her first steps, and hear her first word.
It's so amazing what happens when you open yourself up to taking chances, "going with the flow", just letting life lead you instead of worrying about what you need to do in the next minute, hour, or day. I needed to stop myself for a second and remember that. I've made some incredible friends, (Stacy! Ryan!) met my AMAZING husband, and made some memories that I wouldn't have if I didn't take a chance.
Life has a way of working itself out. I just have to trust it. God has a plan for everyone, including me.
And I can't wait to see where He will take me next.
