New Daycare!!!!

Today Lexi started her new daycare and dropping her off went better than i hoped for!!!

I called twice and they told me she had not cried all day! and she took a nap with all the other kids on the cot!!! she stayed on a cot!!! which makes me excited and nervous to move her up to a big girl bed but if she will stay on a cot maybe my luck looks good for the big girl bed!!

when i went to pick her up they said she was wet only AFTER her nap!! so she stayed dry all day!!!!! they were so good taking care of her and i am so pleased with this daycare!!!!

The teachers and her also bonded pretty well! they loved her and said she was a very sweet and smart little girl!!!

I am so proud:)

Just wanted to share about her first day:)

Have a blessed night!
Kristen Justin and Lexi

House Update

I just wanted to write and say that the house is a no go! there was so many things wrong with it that we found out during the inspection! I am sad about it but i know that it was a good thing for it to happen instead of buying it and findng all of this stuff wrong with it and shelling out money we dont really have! We are still going to take the first homeowners class on the 16th of august so when we do buy a house hopefully by the end of the year, we will have that out ofthe way and dont have to worry about that aspect of it!

I think i need to leave it up to God to show us the right house at the right time! I am having a hard time with this bc when i want something done or i want something i want it now! and this whole house buying process has taken a toll on my stress level and i have come to face some major disappointment! but i am now realizeing i need to leave it up to God and the perfect house will come in the right time he has laid out for us! I need to Fully Rely on God! And i am working on that and praying to get better at that!

Different note my week and a day of vacation is up and i must return to work Monday! but i am glad to get in the groove and learn new things!! Lexi starts her new daycare on monday as well! i am a little nervous but i will just be a few minutes away!

We found a few more houses we like on the internet and might go look at them on wed! we will see! 

Just a few prayer requests:
1. my brother found a lump in his testice and he has been on 2 rounds of antibiotics and it seems to have srunk but if it doesnt after this 2nd round he will have to go to a specialist and have a better look taken at it! So please pray for him and Pray that it is not cancer! 2 of his friends already have had testicular cancer and have to have stuff removed and they were only 15-16 yrs old! My brother is 19 and i pray he doesnt have to go through any of that!

2. My friend Zsera she had a miscarriage 5 weeks ago and it is still hurting which i cannot fathom what she is going through but she is Regaining faith and stregth through God and HE is helping her to heal and grow in him!

3. Sam I have mentioned him before and you Can read his story HERE but he has a heart defect and he is going through a sickness right now and has been fighting off a fever! Tessa Sams mother is taking care of him by herself this weekend as her husband Bill is in India working for Samaritans urse! So please pray for them and for sam to be well again!

4. My great grandma she is 96 and still going strong but she is slowly forgetting anything and everything and when we were down there last weekend she remembered lexi but did not know whos child she was. This broke my heart and i do realize that soon it will be her time to be with Jesus and she has been fighting cancer for about 2 years now so just pray for her to have stregth and continue to feel as good as she can!

Well i think that is all for now! i need to get my booty in the bed so we can get up in the morning!!!
