I miss my kids!

-
We are so blessed to have family close now that can take our kiddos and allow us to feel a bit of freedom from taking care of them and entertaining them. Last Friday Aaron's folks took the kids early in the morning and will bring them home Tuesday!!! We were able to go and enjoy a great concert in Denver Friday night; Matthew West, Sanctus Real and Jason Gray. It was absolutely fun with my brother in law, Jason and sister in law, Diane. Then yesterday I slept in...hmmmm....I haven't felt well so my sleep wasn't great but I did stay in bed till 9am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my goodness what is that? It has been over 4 years since I've slept in that late. I relaxed all day and got to go and hang out at Aaron's work for as long as I wanted. I felt like we were dating again. It was great and then he wanted to go on a date last night so we enjoyed a little Red Lobster...got so full we didn't want to do anything else...so we hung out at home after. This morning though I miss my kids. I am so blessed to be able to be at home with them and watch them grow every second and learn. I do enjoy these days because I am reminded of who I am...not just as a mom and wife, but who the Lord made me to be. Uniquely me. And I am thankful for the way He made me, and I am sooooo grateful I can see how beautiful and amazing He made my unique and wonderful husband and amazing kids. Leaving church today I am so blessed that the Lord shows us exactly why He puts us in certain places, at certain times, with certain people...every day. I love our neighbors, Tyler and Erin and their kiddo Tanner and how the Lord placed us here to love them and fellowship with them and show them Christ through our lives and friendship. I love that God kept pressing on my heart to go to our church, Summitview...and absolutely answered our prayers and confirmed that this is where we are to be in that they will have two services starting in April(which means Aaron can come to church with us now...since they'd only had one service at 10am and Aaron had to work at 10:30am..PRAISE JESUS) I love our small group and the fact that someone I've held so dearly in my heart, Amber Constant, since college...invited us to check out their group. We are amazed...absolutely amazed. Every thing about our home, our church and small group have been answered prayers for years and years of seeking to find soooo many things in each of these areas and we've found them. So...I derailed from talking about my munchkins...but all there is to say...I love them and am so thankful that I know the Lord has placed us here in this moment, to do His will and I love being in this place for that reason and to share that with my kids. I am anxious for them to be home...but so full of joy that they can enjoy Nanny and Grampy before they leave the country again....I miss my Malachi kisses, prayers and every day rituals and my little Rachel growls, snarls, giggles and personality...I miss them.

Of course you miss them, but I am so thrilled that you and Aaron have had time for each other. And...when Grandma and Grandpa Bob get moved there, you may have more time together as we get to enjoy them.
Love you!

Moving to California, our Journey from 2 viewpoints.

-
     So we are moving to San Diego California!  We are going to be attending a Christian Discipleship school called IMPACT 195 (i195.org).  The goal of this school is to grow people in their relationship with Jesus Christ so that they can impact the world for God's kingdom during these 12 months and afterwards for the rest of their lives.  Please go online and check it out if you are interested in seeing what we are going to be up to!      Since we have made the decision to go to San Diego, time has gone by so quickly, so here is the back story from Aaron's perspective.  I have worked now for Furniture Row for almost 10 years!  I have also been married for 10 years!  So needless to say, I started with Furniture Row 3 months after we got married back in 2003.  As most of you know, we have moved from Colorado to Montana to Indiana to Michigan and then back to Colorado!  It has gone by quickly and we have had ...

This season is full. Full of sad times, busy times and some great memories made. One thing I truly enjoy is to cook. It is in my blood. My Mawmaw is an amazing cook who then taught my mom who inspired me to cook. All three of us...well I should say four because my sister is amazing too....cook different in many ways but the same in others. It is just the joy of creating. For me I find so much joy in finding new tastes and beautiful dishes. I also find joy in old fashioned cookin. This one all started when we had moved to Indianapolis. It was the first time ever I didn't have a job. I was 7 months pregnant in a new town/state and didn't know anyone. As many of you know I rarely can sit still. I need to be productive.....and this came to mind. Why not create delicious jellies and jams.. Not only is it super cost effective. It is a fun gift to give and a great way to make healthier options for my kiddos. So...can away. Here is this summers first bunch...and I am sure there will be...

Caleb Anthony Taylor

Wheewww! What a CHRISTmas we have had. I know many of you all know about our surpise gift of delivering Caleb almost 9 weeks early on Dec. 22. But I also know that there are many details we just have been too overwhelmed with this to share. So here goes. This journey has been amazing. It is as if the Lord just said "I want to show you more of me. More of why so many things and people are in your lives. Remember...I am the one writing this story and I have always had something greater than you know planned." No kidding! The minute that the doctor said I was dialated to 6 we looked at each other and a flood of crying came...and came...and came. And then thru the tears Aaron's first words were..."Do you like Caleb Anthony?" Yep, we had not fully decided on his name and this was our top pic for a while we just couldn't hammer it down. Absolutely is his name= "COURAGEOUS". When the time came for the last few hours of real hard contractions this time, i...
