School is back in session

We just finished our first week of school.  It was tiring and very long for me but I am excited for what this year will have instored. 

Jonah has been moved to the high school for Cross Country, Soccer, and Track. So his day actually starts at 5:30, instead of 6:30.  He is at the middle school the second half of the day and I know it brings him to ease knowing that if Addie decides she is ready, while I'm at school, he is right there to take care of me. I, also, like seeing him during the day. Reminds me of when we first met and started dating... aww.... :)

Everyday after school I come home and put my feet up, they have "finally" started swelling and look like fat piggies by the end of the day.  I know that these are all signs that the end is coming and I truly cannot wait to hold our little girl! 

She is more than welcome to come anyday now... I'd prefer if she waited for Friday though, so she makes it to September. One of the reasons I am so ready is because our maternity shoot was Saturday, last thing on the list of To Do's.  I know some people think its silly to have photos take pictures of these moments but I cannot think of a better way to capture these things that are so priceless! She is so blessed to be apart of a family that loves each other so much and puts God in the center of our life. God has blessed our life so much!

In the midst of preparing for the birth of our daughter and starting school we have decided to purchase our first home. We may be a little crazy but we found a house that we truly love and can call home with our sweet girl!  I guess most woman go into nesting mode in their own house but mine went a little larger than that... I wanted a home for my little girl.  So, now, we have a contract on a house and should be closing on the 22nd of September then moving around the 24th. So in the last year we got married, are having a baby, and buying our first home... pretty sure that is a God blessed year! If you really want to look at it; Jonah and I met 2 years ago this August, got engaged July of 2010, married 2011, found out we are having a wonderful family, and now buying a house.

God is truly amazing and I could not ask for a more blessed life than what He has planned for me. Count down to Addie is, hopefully, to the end and now on to the 2nd chapter of the Allen Life... that includes her and a home.
