If you know us at all, you know that DH is a HUGE Georgia football fan!!! He loves the Bulldogs and the Falcons. The first time I felt DS move when I was pregnant was when the Falcons won the playoffs and were headed to the Super Bowl. (Yes, believe it or not the Falcons went to the Super Bowl!!! LOL) Anyway, DH was yelling so loud that he scared our puppies and apparently freaked our child out!!! :-)
Now that DS is older, he is beginning to like his own teams instead of just going along with Dad. I'm not sure if he really does like them better or if this is an early form of rebellion - I'm praying that it's just that he has a mind of his own!!!
The fact that DS prefers the Tigers (Clemson) and Carolina Panthers has been causing quite a stir at our house lately. It's really funny, but a few days ago, it became hilarious!
DS got a Falcons sweatshirt from his cousin and when I showed it to him, DS made the comment that he couldn't wear it! I was kind of surprised that he was serious about not wearing so I asked him why.
He said very seriously, "I can't be a Falcons fan! Big cats eat little birds!!!"
And the war continues... :-)

And A Child Shall Lead Them...
Last night we didn't make it to church because we only have one car and DH ended up working late. I thought this was a good reason - until we sat down to eat.
I said our blessing and when I finished DS added a prayer of his own. He thanked God for the food and then asked Jesus to forgive us for not going to church.
When he was finished, I explained to him why we didn't go. He replied, "You know, Mom, when we don't go to church we're abandoning the word of God."
OUCH!!!

A New Year!
I am officially one year older now!!! Surprisingly, I wasn't depressed at all about having a birthday this year. I guess I am getting to a point in my life where I am getting more excited about what God has planned in the upcoming year!
I had a really great birthday this year. I asked everyone NOT to make me a cake this year, but I did have a couple of scoops of ice cream... chocolate ice cream to be exact! I have to admit earlier tonight I was craving at least a bite of birthday cake, but I'll be so glad I didn't have any later this week!!!
I spent the first part of my day with my parents and DS. Around 3 pm, I picked DH up at work and we met with a very nice couple and signed the paperwork for our new house. That's right! We are moving this weekend!!! What a birthday surprise!!! :-)
We are so looking forward to living in our new house! We absolutely love it!!! DS's even excited about the move this time. Last time we moved, he ended up having a really hard time with it (totally unexpected!) and even made the comment that we left his whole world back at our old house. He thought nobody would know where he lived! It was really sad, but he finally managed to get over it. So when DH and I decided to start looking for a new house, we thought he would be upset again, but much to our surprise, he was all for the idea. I am sure part of it is because we will be living a lot closer to one of his favorite people in the whole world! :-)
We are just looking forward to beginning this new chapter in our lives. It's awesome how God allows you to go through really difficult things that make the good things in life so much sweeter! We are amazed at how everything fell into place for us concerning this house. We had people praying with us and as soon as the request was made, miraculous things started happening. I am still in awe of it all! Isn't it funny how we walk in our faith and we believe with all that we are that God will do it. And when He does it, we can't believe He did it??? (Does that make sense at all??? LOL)
I am so glad that our house hunt is over!!! I do want to personally thank my sister, who is the one who sent me the email with pics of the house. (I haven't forgotten about that finder's fee!!! LOL) And of course, I want to thank God that He allowed everything to fall into place as only He can do!!!
