"Patience is waiting with joy"

...That is the bible verse we are teaching 3 year olds at FBC every other Sunday this semester. Wow, is it true. I really love little kids and these are hilarious. Especially ones that we know personally. Dawayne and I are using this as a lesson and actually praying for patience. We decided to do this because we love little kids and we hadn't found our "place" in a connection group when we said yes to doing this every other sunday. Actually as Dawayne would say "When my wife chose we would do this," oh well, I love it and he does too whether he admits it or not. I am sure we will have more little stories as the fall goes on since we just started last week.

What else has been going on? Let me think....just FOOTBALL. All the time! I love it though, just help me pray that I can get used to my husband being gone again all the time. It is hard ladies, so those of you who are thinking of marrying a coach, get ready! It is totally worth the not seeing them during the fall thing because I love to watch Dawayne do what he loves to do. Someone once told me, that has been married to a coach for 20 or more years, "run for your life," ha, thanks for the advice! I may need it one day down the road. I dont really ever have much to add to my blogs due to not having kids and being busy with work for the two of us. So, just be patient. I will have lots of pictures when football gets up and going in the next week or two. Until next time...(which is usually a while, ha!)

Summer Football & Life's Lessons

Wow, this weekend was hot and tiring. I really give all the coaches props for being out there almost all day long for two days and having to keep up with all those guys and those schedules. And speaking of major props, my friend Kate, she has 2 boys who are adorable and I love them like their my own and honestly probably try to take charge more than I should, but I really give her major props, probably even more than the coaches because she was out there with both boys, both days and I was with her both times and oh my gosh! She is so busy with them. I was worn out and can't even imagine how she does it! Same goes for another friend Laci. My prayer is that they get rest and know what a blessing they are to me because they teach me so much whether they know it or not and for myself I pray that the Lord gives me strength like He has given those mothers, and most of all patience for when we have a child or two because I thought it was a lot easier and watching them its not!

Well, this weekend was busy and now its back to the traveling schedule on monday for me and D has football all week. Sometimes I wish our life was more interesting so I could be as addicted to my own blog as I am reading others. Is anyone else that way? Sorry that I only blog like once in a blue moon and it's never that great. But, thats all for now.

Until next time...

...Just the two of us!

Well, to start off Dawayne and I have ONLY been married for a year and going on four months. Married life is wonderful! Im pretty sure I have no idea what I would do without him. We stay pretty busy with his job and my crazy traveling schedule. We are currently living in Springdale, AR and "D" (thats what all of our family and close friends call him, or big "d") is coaching the defensive line at Shiloh Christian! GO SAINTS~ We love being here and it is so much closer to our family.

We recently moved into our new house back at the end of April and we absolutely love it. It has four bedrooms and I think we could have used something smaller since it is "just the two of us" but, I guess that means we will need to be filling up all the rooms pretty soon. Can you say nursery? .... Soon, oh very soon, we would like to start trying to have a family. I want twins so I can get it all over with in one big bang, but D wants one to start off with. "We are too busy as it is," he says. (...Stay tuned) ha!

I have just started at the new salon I will be working at, actually just this week. I am currently working in Fort Smith (my hometown) one day a week because my clients can't live without me. Oh, actually I think it's me who can't live without them. But, I will also be working at GLAMOROUS SALON, in Fayetteville, during the rest of the week. I think I will definetly enjoy being there and picking up new clients. Come and see me!!

Dawayne and I also decided to make First Baptist Church our new home church. We absolutely love being there and we are trying to get connected in every way possible. So, we are continually praying that God shows us where He wants us to be involved there. OH, but we love it!

Seeing that this is my first blog session, I want to use this as a way to stay connected but yet meet new friends and couples here or anywhere! Maybe it will help continue to build my business, also.

Until next time...
