Oh my goodness. We are still alive, I promise! A lot has been going on in the Wetzel family since we left North Carolina, and I have so much to share. The Lord has been doing some awesome things in our life since the beginning of the year, really. We didn't know the direction things were going, but He seemed to wrap it all up pretty well in the past couple of weeks. It is so amazing to stand back now, look back at the past 10 months, and stand in awe of His power. The Lord has been way too good to us and we do not deserve everything we have been blessed with. But isn't that always the story?
I am so overwhelmed with everything I want to share. I guess it will just have to come out over time. As to what we are up to now... Soon after getting to Houston, Daniel got a job with BP - Alternative Energy. He was hoping to break into the wind energy industry, so we were both super pumped for him to get this job. We also found a house, closed, and moved in an just about record time. I sort of feel like a blob right now because all I do is think about the house. It is definitely an upgrade (space-wise), so I am trying to figure out how to make everything work in a bigger house. I want to get everything done with the house, so my brain can finally start thinking about other things, but unfortunately we are lacking the funds. I need to learn some patience and just slowly do a little at a time. It is a lot easier said than done, though. There are more important things than decorating a house -- like spending time with the Lord, influencing my children, and finding some friends in this new town. Hopefully I can make some strides in the right the direction these next couple of weeks, including updating this blog.
The girls are changing like crazy. It is amazing how much faster your second child grows up! It doesn't help when she is doing things twice as fast as the oldest. Olivia was sitting up at 4 1/2 months and started crawling before 7 months. Geez. How am I already to this point where we need to baby proof everything? Emily is such a sweet little girl, and we have been having so much fun together. She is such a loving, helpful sister. I could not ask for two girls that love each other more. It is so special to see their relationship grow. I hope they are always best friends. And before you laugh at that last sentence, let me just say, I know it is possible.
A lot more updates to come, including starting up Multitude Mondays again. I got off track when Olivia came and have been meaning to resume my blessing posts ever since. So many blessings have come our way that there is no way I can acknowledge them all, but I will try!
