PRAISE GOD!!!

Let me start this post by first giving God all the glory and praise for this last week!!!!  For those of you who I didn't get a chance to text.... JAKE IS COMING HOME NEXT MONTH! :)  Our prayers were answered!!  Thank you to everyone who has been keeping Jake in prayer and who were praying for him to be able to come home early.  He got the word that he needs to have his bags packed by Aug. 7th!  At the moment we do not know the exact date he will be home, but he said expect him anywhere in the last 10 days of August!  Oh it is such a relief to know that he will be home soon and out of the battle zone.  He called this morning and said he is being sent out to do a mission for a week so I may not hear from him.  Hopefully this is his last mission before he comes home.

I want to also praise God for new life!  I was able to go hold a newborn baby last night.  One of the ladies from church who was pregnant had her little boy.  Ellison Thomas!  It was such an eye opener that I want our little girl to get here!  :)

I am off to go hang with my Steph friend.  She is leaving next week for Texas!  I can't believe when she gets back it will already be August 1st!  I pray this time continues to fly by!  Once again thank you for all your prayers and I will try my HARDEST to keep you all posted once more information comes in from Jake.  He did encourage me that even though we may hear on the news or I may hear from other wives how bad it is getting over there he said he is in a "safe" place.  As safe as you can get in war..  He hasn't noticed any change since he has been there.  PRAISE GOD FOR THAT!!!

I love you all and want to leave you with a picture!  Me at 29 weeks!!
