October Brings Change
Every October since Jonathan and I have been married has brought change into our lives. This was the first one we THOUGHT would be somewhat normal, but nope...not yet. The first October brought a trying family issue (family-of-origin problem) for me that forever changed me in ways I do not even like to talk about. From there October's became much better...the next brought a new job for Jonathan and a move to Detriot for us into our first post-college housing (a nice little town-house), and Landon a few weeks later on the 28th. The following October we moved to the city we currently live in (something I longed for with every fiber of my being and my husband, by sheer determination and out of selfless love, made happen). Last October we moved into our first house, where we currently live and love. So many exciting things...
This October brings a new pregnancy along with a NEW JOB for my dear husband. I have wanted to post on here about his grueling process many times, but chose to wait until it was a done deal. He had to make it through FOUR long interviews and yesterday finally received an offer. He is so excited about the new role he will be fulfilling...he loves the environment, the job, the perks, etc... He is so excited and I am so proud of him. He is pretty amazing...
In other news...
I love to watch Landon enjoy the changing seasons. He has been picking up leaves with his dump truck and driving them all around. He also tries to jump on any stray leaves that he finds to make it "crinkle" as he says. It really is fun to see him love spring and summer and fall...and he is already talking about playing in the snow, so I know he will love winter too 
Landon has really been struggling with behavior issues. I think this is one of the most difficult stages that he has been through. I am not going to go into details, but we have been very consisten with discipline and it is not working...perhaps only making things worse. We are working on revamping a few things and praying that we can all make it through this whole process unscathed. Most importantly, I want his heart to be right...but it is so difficult to teach matters of the heart to a two year old. If anyone wants to pray for me...I could desperately use a good dose of patience and grace.
Pregnancy sickness has hit. It started Friday (same time it started with Landon). Sat and Sunday were not too bad...it kind of came and went. Yesterday was a more difficult day but Jonathan was home so I could lay around and it was amazing. Today, so far, has not been too bad. I am praising the Lord for that. I hope it stays like this and does not get any worse. Oh how I long for it to not get worse...
Jonathan is almost ready to stain his desk that he built. Landon has really enjoyed "helping" him and I am continuously amazed that something so beautiful could be made from some scrappy looking wood. Yes, Jonathan is a wizard of sorts. Give him a project...any project...and he will figure out how to do it, and how to do it well.
Happy Tuesday...one day closer to the weekend (yes, even though I don't work I long for the weekends when I have a spouse home)
