My first Blog!

This is my first blog. I am trying this out because I ran accross some bloggers, who are all my cousins that live in Texas. Tim Gabbard, Joe Gabbard (he doesn't live in Texas.. where do you live Joe?), Lori Garza and Julie Cubbage. I thought this was a cool way to keep up with there lives since we live so far away from each other. I have had such a great time reading about them and their beautiful kids and how well they are all doing. So anyway, I thought I would try it. It looks easy enough- however I have no idea how to post pictures on here. So, hopefully soon I will learn how to do that.

Anyway- a little about me... My husband Matt and I are pastoring a church that his Dad actually started about 12 years ago. The church is called Life Impact Church and we have doubled in size in the last year and a half. I sing for our praise and worship team (called Life Impact Band) and I love it. We just posted a song on youtube and our praise leader, Jason Osbourne, wrote the song we are singing. We are doing a live CD on Sept 28th and all of the songs were written by Jason. I think it is going to be great. Can't wait!

My kids are wonderful- Tori, who is 6, starts 1st grade next Tuesday. I wanted to take her to school on her first day- like I did last year and she told me last night that she wants to ride the bus. It kind of broke my heart because she is growing up to fast. I am still worried that she won't find her class and be lost, but I know I am being to over protective. And then there's Preston, the new addition to our family- he is 11 weeks old today. He is so much fun! He is starting make noises and try to talk to you and laughs out loud, and just last week I discovered that he is ticklish on his neck! He has grown so fast over these 11 weeks. He just went to the doctor and he weighs 14 lbs 12 oz. He had his first ear infection and he is so great- I didn't even know he was sick other than he had been fussy in the evenings for a couple of nights. I am trying to cherish these moments in my kids lives because they are going by so quickly!

Hope my first blog turned out okay- don't even know if anyone will read it, but hey- it's fun anyway!!!

Holly,

I'm so glad you started a blog. It is such a great way to keep in touch with friends and family that are far away. My dad showed me the pictures he took on his trip, and your kids are so cute. I can't believe how grown up Tory looks! I'm glad things are going so good for you and Matt at your church.
