God has a Plan! A Perfect, Perfect Plan.

I'm sure most of you know this by now, but if not, let me update you on the last week of our life.

Last Friday, I found out that I will no longer have a job at my school. I'm devastated about this. I have been assured that it has nothing to do with my teaching or anything other than money. Which stinks pretty bad too.

On the first day of school next year, I would be tenured. If I get a job in the county, I can still get tenure, so that is a positive. As of right now, mine and Ava's insurance will be cancelled in June, and it is soooo pricey for us to get on Kyle's plan so, I'm praying through this situation.

Things are so uncertain right now, and that is scary. However, I put my trust in my Almighty Father, and I am trusting that He will provide as He has done all these years.

Remember a few posts back? One called....The Good News? That bad day was referring to this news. In that post I said that there are 3 things I know for sure: 1. Jesus loves me, 2. God has a plan for me, and 3) His plan is perfect. I will not waiver from these 3 things.

Please pray for our family right now. We'd really appreciate it. And thank you, to those who've already been praying. We have felt those prayers. We know God is at work in this situation, and we are clinging to His promises.

Now Introducing Ava Layne Brooks

Kind of fuzzy, but a great memory! It's a Girl!!! One of the only pictures of the cards I made! Yesterday was a pretty big day for Kyle and I. We had our first ultrasound and found out that we are having a precious baby girl! We were so shocked when the ultrasound tech. said it was a girl because everyone had convinced us it was going to be a boy. We were shocked but so very excited. This day was extremely emotional for me. As soon as I left school I was sobbing with joy. I just could not believe that in a few short minutes I was going to see our baby! I have honestly never been so overjoyed in all my life. The ultrasound was so fun. I laughed and cried the whole way through it. She was bouncing all over the place. We were really hoping we would get a good view of whether or not the baby was a boy or a girl an...

Showers, Doctor's Appointments, Tears, and Updates

We have been so busy lately we feel like we never stop going. Let me take a moment to update you with what's going on at the Brooks home. First of all, we have had two wonderful showers in the past couple of weeks. One was hosted by my dear friend Jenny, at church, and the other was hosted by Kyle's former job...the doctor's office. We have started a big collection of things we actually need. We are slowly starting to feel like we are actually ready for the big day and the day we bring Ava home from the hospital. One of my biggest fears was that I would go into early labor and not be able to leave the hospital because we wouldn't have a car seat. Well, that has been resolved because this week we got it along with our stroller. We love it! We put it together immediately and started strolling around with it. We also installed the car seat base in our car and feel pretty good about things now. Our friends and family have truly been blessings during this time by helping to ...
