My lack of blogging the past 3 months can be contributed to a few recent unexpected curveballs that have been thrown my way recently. Since August, blogging has been the farthest thing from my mind. A few days prior to me starting back to work, we found out that we were going to have to move out of the home we had been renting. This came as quite a shock since we were under the impression that we would be living there for at least another 2 years. When we moved here 3 years ago, we still owned a home in Clearwater that we were trying to sell and instead of purchasing a second home, my cousin who was serving in the military overseas, offered us his vacant home to rent until we could sell our home. This turned out to be a win-win situation for everyone since he still had several more years until his stint would be up in Europe. Needless to say, the army doesn't always do as promised. He found out in August that he was being relocated closer to home. Good for him, but terrible for us. This meant that he would need his home back and we would have 3 weeks to find a new home. After 3 months of searching, hopefully, we will close on our new home within the month. Since then, we've been staying between my parents' house and my in-laws'. As much as we appreciate their generosity, we are eager to be in our own place again. Sometimes God's timing really knocks the breath out of me and while I may not always understand why He chooses to make things happen when they do, Ive learned that it's more important to trust Him instead of questioning Him.
On top of all the changes taking place in our lives, the biggest surprise came 3 days before we received the phone call that we would have to move. We kept this one a secret for quite some time but revealed it at Addison's 2nd birthday party.........
That's right...Addison is going to be a BIG SISTER!!! Baby Bricker #3 is expected to arrive April 7th, 2013. This came as the best and biggest surprise of all since we had not exactly "planned" this one, but are elated that God has decided to bless us with another baby.
In His Love...
