22 Weeks!

YAY for an actual baby bump!!! It happened overnight, and hasn't stopped growing!!  Hopefully we'll be feeling some actual baby kicks soon! For now just glad to feel movement!!
We're so blessed!

New Beginings and GREAT happenings

We realize how absolutely terrible we are at blogging! We will try our best to be much better...
So after our four-day adventure cross-country, we have "settled" into my brother's room. By this i mean, we have the "essentials" in one room and the rest remains in boxes in a storage unit! Though it has been quite an adjustment, we are blessed to have such great parents who offer their homes so we can stay with them rent free until we get settled in the area!
This "getting settled" is taking a lot longer than both Jared and i planned for. I'm not sure what we expected, but it's been a month since the day we decided to move and it seems a LOT longer than that! We have sent applications and resumes EVERYWHERE we can think of! As of now Jared has gotten a job serving part time and i got a job for the month of July in the summer program. Please help us pray for more permanent jobs for both of us!

When we're not sending applications or going to places to ask for work, we have been spending time with the family! This alone is one INCREDIBLE blessing and more than enough of a reason to move back! Here are some pictures of Bella adjusting to life with a lot more love and attention than she was getting in New Mexico. She LOVES being near her family!

Two of our siblings graduated high school, and as it is the rule of younger siblings they excelled beyond what we ever accomplished when we were in high school! We are soooooooo proud of them! Congratulations Felipe and Jaclyn!!

UMD and App. State are two lucky institutions to have such wonderful students!

I think that's all for now!!! Please keep us in your prayers as we continue to find God's plan for our lives!

Bella's New Adventure

The STAIRS! Something she never had to worry about in New Mexico! Took her about a week to learn, and she's a PRO now!!
Thanks to Uncle Felipe who very patiently taught her the art of walking up the stairs!

Our First Family Road Trip

We're in Maryland!! YAY!! Our planned 3 day trip home, actually ended up being a 4 day ordeal! We had some trailer trouble along the way, and some car trouble at the end, but overall we had lots of fun and got to spend lots of quality time together! 

Bella ready to go

 We drove through a good part of the old Route 66!  This rest stop had a tribute to it! Soooo cool!!!

Adorable old couple i stalked for a minute just because my new camera rocks like that!

Silly picture in Oklahoma

 The place where my car stopped for real in MD!

Now, we're finally home and looking for jobs and to see what God has in store for us here!
