We have officially been in the process for one year. When we started this, they told us it could be anywhere from 9 to 36 months! As we sit at month 12, we are thinking that we are more than halfway done and have expectations to travel before we hit the two-year mark at the very least :-) we could always be surprised and it could be much shorter or longer than that… Adoption is full of crazy twists and turns.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3p19iHYsoGMxh2r2GDjH8h5waj04rmM_004BGLo1TENrqLACMIyzK1efLvUsVNnQk5yJBNBKeuqbqZSEndh665OQTMVTi9uzFn8GEFnlwCcSgaqLbq2vtOvH7LOWqYgjJB3TGAn_Tx6r9Hx3Jn8EnP8AaQEgtw5QK7iudioET7ggXzhuA7J8hg_k5oQ/s1191/IMG_8258.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1004" data-original-width="1191" height="270" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3p19iHYsoGMxh2r2GDjH8h5waj04rmM_004BGLo1TENrqLACMIyzK1efLvUsVNnQk5yJBNBKeuqbqZSEndh665OQTMVTi9uzFn8GEFnlwCcSgaqLbq2vtOvH7LOWqYgjJB3TGAn_Tx6r9Hx3Jn8EnP8AaQEgtw5QK7iudioET7ggXzhuA7J8hg_k5oQ/s320/IMG_8258.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>We claimed the verse Ephesians 3:20 for our adoption process and even put it on the shirts that many of you purchased. It says, “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever.” </p><p>I want to tell you about an “immeasurably more” moment that we experienced over the past couple of months. A friend of our family who has also adopted called us one afternoon and told Moose that he needed to talk to him. Moose called him back and honestly had no clue what this friend would have needed. He explained that his high school where he works, Powdersville high school, did a spirit week fundraiser every year. They chose different organizations or things to support with this fundraiser. He went on to explain that this year, they would be supporting internationally adopting families because he as well as a few other teachers had adopted and they wanted to raise awareness and support in this way. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX8fDP97eSCCV2Gi2wFI_CdIcdN7GfLLJuc9HQ2pXElkc66S43pfwV-HA7Wvj2A59VGLOT5b3d9jghHdJt3ADzM-LgZQ8ZI4YJTz3Hav6T7hA1VYrjKDZwDtsXUWjHglT_o72G7J4NQAaZyH-BLsSe3T-5lKLVVFOOrv-Jm5W31sDesllgfajJvM_FWw/s1902/32CEEF66-8455-4415-A77F-52C8DCE6A432.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1902" data-original-width="1170" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX8fDP97eSCCV2Gi2wFI_CdIcdN7GfLLJuc9HQ2pXElkc66S43pfwV-HA7Wvj2A59VGLOT5b3d9jghHdJt3ADzM-LgZQ8ZI4YJTz3Hav6T7hA1VYrjKDZwDtsXUWjHglT_o72G7J4NQAaZyH-BLsSe3T-5lKLVVFOOrv-Jm5W31sDesllgfajJvM_FWw/s320/32CEEF66-8455-4415-A77F-52C8DCE6A432.jpeg" width="197" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>He then said that they wanted to support us! You guys, when I say we were shocked even after the description, I mean we were shocked. We had talked about the fact that really outside of T-shirts, we were not going to solicit donations for our adoption. It was our choice, and we knew that the Lord would provide for us. However we also decided that if someone reached out to us and wanted to give to our process, we would not say no because we certainly would not want to rob them of a blessing or deny the Lord‘s work in our adoption. All in all, we just knew that this was a gift from the Lord.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizCzhEPW4bt77N96jtHeoHaE_kqsDMjYBJzi2LuwZ2CU4JwHE92kY2GAjsx-XTUt2UoFKOpxIXF9saBIJUVvyKgPsLNe78-bVo6l7K1vBde-pfknbOIlOl2nsO2Hx7ZHN8n0V8I0juRE5F2c1K3oDPedd8XGxlJHkDQgP0zG_7QH2Axe0UQkrki5GNBQ/s1440/B634025D-6B15-41C4-BC38-32956A4B0866.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1325" data-original-width="1440" height="294" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizCzhEPW4bt77N96jtHeoHaE_kqsDMjYBJzi2LuwZ2CU4JwHE92kY2GAjsx-XTUt2UoFKOpxIXF9saBIJUVvyKgPsLNe78-bVo6l7K1vBde-pfknbOIlOl2nsO2Hx7ZHN8n0V8I0juRE5F2c1K3oDPedd8XGxlJHkDQgP0zG_7QH2Axe0UQkrki5GNBQ/s320/B634025D-6B15-41C4-BC38-32956A4B0866.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>We were put in contact with their student government representative, we got to visit their pep rally and share a little bit of our story, and we got to watch firsthand as the student body did exceedingly and immeasurably more than we could have ever imagined.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbkfZ040Ss__4eTa53zFEqFxknTeNzPsOguzSB7VQjXMC8YrOIJzHpFbcKWzkCQj5gNfOktjynhBp3OCJqbbGfqRqhkqcZi6cihkfN_F8zPmuMQSWR_bY-Ax4_ClpMIECeYah7YCiCDui-p-6f9aDBcw_5BAvTwL_xTjQrGcH72ad3IcKoF5eCXjICDQ/s1440/F02B1DB6-9165-401C-BEF7-61AD9042533E.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1325" data-original-width="1440" height="294" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbkfZ040Ss__4eTa53zFEqFxknTeNzPsOguzSB7VQjXMC8YrOIJzHpFbcKWzkCQj5gNfOktjynhBp3OCJqbbGfqRqhkqcZi6cihkfN_F8zPmuMQSWR_bY-Ax4_ClpMIECeYah7YCiCDui-p-6f9aDBcw_5BAvTwL_xTjQrGcH72ad3IcKoF5eCXjICDQ/s320/F02B1DB6-9165-401C-BEF7-61AD9042533E.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Y’all!

We then began the process of our Home Study. This was with a second agency (Nightlight, here in SC). The Home Study included interviews with Social Workers, Doctor and Psychologist appointments, as well as gathering quite a few documents! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Once this was finalized and approved (June), we worked with Children's House International to gather and assemble our Dossier. This Dossier (packet of paperwork) includes things from our history, our Special Needs application, and many investigative type items. All of these items must be notarized and apostilled. An apostille is essentially authentication of our signatures and information, the notary, and the document itself. This is added to an I-800A approval (the approval of FBI fingerprinting, vetting, and US Gov't) and sent to Colombia. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This paperwork (the Dossier) is translated and then submitted to ICBF (in Colombia) for approval.

You have so much fun stuff to share that it never gets old! </p><p>On the other hand, when you are in the throes of everyday life, you forget to share things. So, for a little while on Thursdays, I'm going to do some throwback posts, sharing things in our lives that have happened over the past 3-4 years that I didn't document but don't want to forget! </p><p style="text-align: center;">We've done a combined birthday party for the girls each year from 2 on. Margaret Berry so graciously does the CUTEST photos for them and we use them for the invitation and decor. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">In 2018, we did tea for two turning two!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

School ended, Eva Kate had her 4k program, and summer has ramped up! Someone mentioned the other day how excited they were for summer because it is such a slower pace and they can just be lazy with their family, and I sort of chuckled inside. Summer and December are just not that way in our house. Church work gets insane in the summer, so you may or may not hear from me as much. </div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">In the adoption world, I have been working super hard to get all of our paperwork collected. I wanted to be done with the majority of the paper chase before the "crazy" of summer began. We are officially HOME STUDY APPROVED! YAY. This has been a huge part of our process and is certainly the most tedious. </div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I want to tell you a few stories that just scream "God is in this". </div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">1-Our home study requires a psychological report. I had joined an adoption group on Facebook where you can ask questions, communicate with other adoptive parents, etc. According to this group, the psych report can get pricy and it is difficult to find someone who will do it the way Colombia wants it done. I began calling around and found a gentleman who was willing. He quoted us at $2000 out of pocket, which according to what I had been reading was about right. I have no way to explain this next part other than "I had a funny feeling" about the whole thing and decided to put on facebook that we were looking for someone who had done adoption psych evaluations before. We got a ton of recommendations for this one lady and I pursued her, thinking she must be the one. Well, she was too busy. I had received one other recommendation, so I emailed her. She had a cancellation the following week! She asked for our insurance information and told me that often, she is able to get this process covered. You guys! We ended up having to pay a $100 deductible. She met us at her office in Simpsonville at times that were convenient for Moose's schedule, and she got 3 psych appointments done in a matter of 2 weeks. Only God! </div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">2-Before our first payment, Moose and I decided it was absolutely crucial for us to pay off all of our debt and to really pray about how God would want us to pay for this adoption. We have some strong convictions about money in this house and have tried to stand by those. We prayed that the Lord would provide abundantly in this manner. I also began praying that God would make it abundantly clear to Moose that we are on the right path toward parenting and give us a peace about the process. Four separate people have sacrificially given to us...unsolicited...separately.<wbr></wbr>..and completely shockingly at the exact time payments have been due. We have not done a single fundraiser yet, however, God is already providing financially as well as giving us clarity that we are in His will. </div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Watching God work through this process is just the best. These are some of the sweet stories I don't want to forget, but I also want to make sure to share with you. I know so many of you are praying with us along the way.

She answered. I archived the email and really didn't tell a single person that I had done it. Honestly, I am not sure whether that was seeds of adoption, general curiosity, or what--but it was there and the thought was obviously in my head. I envisioned this sweet little Latin American baby/toddler. It lingered in the back of my head and popped up every once in awhile, on an adoption Sunday, when friends of mine would announce they were adopting, but I always brushed it aside and assumed it was not our story. </div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><br /></div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature">In 2014, we had a miscarriage and relized that adding to the Saville family may or may not be as simple as it is for some other families and would take intentional medical support. In 2016, after fertility treatments and a monitored pregnancy, we welcomed Eva Kate into our family and our joy was complete. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqmNDCBEJ4RWeZmkXf2_EeUR6gGjyKn8-8BArxal_GtJZFrX7W7KRHCVJcMxxW5LgRZHCFc7E7dtvMTM8-Xdj-KPdEEADIpwBQoTz853wnoEur_hnIO9kW0P4T-DtemeihyphenhyphenxZw5kUIYTIQ/s2008/DSC_5114b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1334" data-original-width="2008" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqmNDCBEJ4RWeZmkXf2_EeUR6gGjyKn8-8BArxal_GtJZFrX7W7KRHCVJcMxxW5LgRZHCFc7E7dtvMTM8-Xdj-KPdEEADIpwBQoTz853wnoEur_hnIO9kW0P4T-DtemeihyphenhyphenxZw5kUIYTIQ/s320/DSC_5114b.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><br /></div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature">2017 was a difficult year for me personally, but God remained faithful and we grew as a family of 3. We began working with doctors again to add to our family. By the end of 2018, we realized that this may be more of a process than we had initially thought. We prayed. We cried. Dr Walvoord, who had been with us through all of the things since 2014 said, "It's time to refer you to a specialist." Truly, we didn't really know what that meant. We knew that our insurance did not have infertility coverage, we knew that we weren't feeling extreme desires in our hearts to adopt, and we knew that we desperately wanted to add to our family. </div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><br /></div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature">The next two years are sort of a blur. Tests, more tests, IUIs, more IUIs, shots (I mean more shots than I can count), ultrasounds, conversations, pills, hormones, and all of the things. Infertility treatments alone are refining. You learn to do things you never in a million years thought you could do. As a tiny piece of humor, there was one night at a track meet, I ran to the car and gave myself a shot (that was stored in a cooler bag with an ice pack) in my stomach because these things have to be done at exact times. Dr. Green was absolutely phenomenal. She was just the best sounding board. A year into these treatments, a global pandemic hit. For months, we were treated virtually and unable to do many of the more intense treatments that are available. We racked up credit card debt and my emotions and hormones were ALL OVER THE PLACE. Poor Moose. When I look back now, I had gotten a little crazy, a little obsessed, and a little cynical. When you are checking for a pregnancy every 28 days for over 2 years, it does some things to you. </div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOdU_bFnLrKmSTG9G2y8cMh6TC17G5OqzuDIQeQ4kJSr-87wJzhtwTcNZcYcS1aE3gi7DpaQrWVrBz27bVRdxzis4h-dBT28-FL4Hs_NTL9PVj6DchDVCj4bhrTN5Q-YtUgqtJnEg-IxaU/s4032/IMG_0502.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOdU_bFnLrKmSTG9G2y8cMh6TC17G5OqzuDIQeQ4kJSr-87wJzhtwTcNZcYcS1aE3gi7DpaQrWVrBz27bVRdxzis4h-dBT28-FL4Hs_NTL9PVj6DchDVCj4bhrTN5Q-YtUgqtJnEg-IxaU/w240-h320/IMG_0502.HEIC" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><br /></div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature">Here's the part that gets tricky to explain, and I want to be thorough, so try to follow me :)</div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature">In the summer of 2020, someone said to me, "Why don't you just adopt?" I sort of wanted to smack them. First, as though it's easy to "just adopt". Like, oh, why didn't we think of that. Remember, my hormones were all over the place, I was extremely emotional, and our eyes were set on the prize of a pregnancy. In the long run, we thought it would be faster and easier if we could just get pregnant (ha). I truly believe we were following what the Lord had for us. We were being sanctified in the process. Actively and patiently waiting is a discipline. It is not just a state of idleness. We've been learning to patiently and actively wait on the Lord. Additionally, admitting that I was spent, exhausted, mad, and needed my people to pick me up, pray for me, and just walk this road with me was sanctifying. I couldn't do this thing alone. Moose and I couldn't do this thing alone. We needed people. We begged for prayer. Eva Kate would ask over and over "When exactly is God going to send that God baby?" and it would send me into a tailspin. My actual answer to the adoption question was this, however. "We really just don't feel a pull to adopt." grin. If you know me, you know my philosophy has been that we will continue upon a path until God says no. Had God said no to adoption....well, no. I was waiting for Him to flash a sign in the sky or make my heart feel all mushy when someone said the word. Basically, I changed my philosophy on God's will to suit my wants. Anyone else ever done that? No? :) I now see that God was planting little seeds in my heart even through that difficult time. Moose was experiencing his own feelings, and as a more logical thinker, was beginning to add up the dollars we had spent on infertility treatment. He began to think that our money might be better spent on a "sure thing" rather than "months and months of a chance." </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkRt9oEr1Tr9NxrFwkpPrNVjIEGtDdWSjaxyZvfJJXEOtNjlSZHhyphenhyphenuvUD5_IM5BPCa54vx_S6b07-imgM15N-rGRfH30XVlwoWNi_Y365QjB0XLrKkeaCO6ujTF0ajIxk3hBJvPcy7qhrT/s2048/IMG_9467.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkRt9oEr1Tr9NxrFwkpPrNVjIEGtDdWSjaxyZvfJJXEOtNjlSZHhyphenhyphenuvUD5_IM5BPCa54vx_S6b07-imgM15N-rGRfH30XVlwoWNi_Y365QjB0XLrKkeaCO6ujTF0ajIxk3hBJvPcy7qhrT/s320/IMG_9467.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature">In August of 2020, our doctor's office opened back up for in-person treatments again. I begged Moose to let us try 1 more month. (please note I had begged for just one more month approximately 8 times before this...keeping this little blog space real here) By October, none of that stuff had worked. Moose was done spending money, I was discouraged/over it/cynical, and Dr. Green told us that the next step was IVF and our odds with that were really not excellent. We left that doctor's appointment sort of done. It took us a couple more months to realize that we were done, but in hindsight, I think we both knew we would not pursue that. We decided to take a break until the end of the year and just pray. In that time period, I talked with a couple friends, mentors, and intentionally selected women in my life. By January of 2021, I was convinced that God was not done building our family, but a bit confused. I had not had a magical "the best way to do orphan care is through adoption" moment. I had not had a dream, a vision, or a fleece on the ground moment. But God. God gave us a desire to parent children (plural). God gave us a means of sanctification, learning to wait, learning to lean on our people. And then God closed the door to more fertility treatment. The idea of adoption came back into my head and I began to pray. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji3BKKvF4Z7sABTS6egXsqfcLv09ClxhaDDMgM_Kn4zlN5f_4Fb3SVNmMloujhqiXSI0vaGd2YmGsiy-NsboyhGZGMRRs04l1MEywQ7VHfxSlf-N4FbgKs0zsg5zswTt80CFk7AwARnPda/s2048/IMG_9494.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji3BKKvF4Z7sABTS6egXsqfcLv09ClxhaDDMgM_Kn4zlN5f_4Fb3SVNmMloujhqiXSI0vaGd2YmGsiy-NsboyhGZGMRRs04l1MEywQ7VHfxSlf-N4FbgKs0zsg5zswTt80CFk7AwARnPda/s320/IMG_9494.jpg" width="320" /></a></div></div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><br /></div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature">I came to the following realization: just like pregnancy isn't necessarily everyone's favorite thing, the difficult process of paperwork and waiting isn't going to be thrilling for any adoptive parent, but it is a means to an end--the end which is a precious child redeemed from a truly sad situation joined together with a family who has been desperately praying for him/her since 2016. How could this be wrong? It may not be how I envisioned having my babies way back in 2014 when we started talking about a family, but it's how God has woven the story together...since 2013, he had been planting seeds of international adoption in my heart. Now, they're ready to bloom. </div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><br /></div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature">I prayed specifically from October to March the following, "Lord, if it is not your will for us to have more children, please remove the desire from our hearts. If it is, then please give us clarity about how to add to our family." Moose told me he wanted us to pray January-March, do some research, and reevaluate in March about what God would have for us. Full disclosure, this is not how I like to do business. My American, Control Freak, Type A, Enneagram 3 self wants to succeed, wants to do the thing quickly, and wants to move forward. This period of 12 weeks was yet again sanctifying. It truly allowed me to heal from a lot of cynicism and anger that had taken seed in my heart. It allowed me to process foster care, domestic adoption, international adoption, what each of those things means to the child involved, the parents involved, the siblings involved. It forced me, yet again, to wait. James 5:7 says, "<span style="color: #001320; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains." I learned that waiting is not necessarily just sitting. Rather, there is tilling of the land, watering, fertilizing, etc occurring. These three months were huge in terms of research. I knew we were going to add to our family, but we needed definite clarity on how. </span></div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMkzmZK2zFNxSTXOEcmhhpXLJgg5e6SmUh2jkQXjuFwyso3MiYWGaHzCkCvA0y14ESNGbJ-FYuV4SPenSHP_D97FJxm6tM2FmB60DtUR6R6tiyB0FUhZwd8a4i1NLoIJ2Z4y6EfvfzVKFI/s2048/IMG_9462.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMkzmZK2zFNxSTXOEcmhhpXLJgg5e6SmUh2jkQXjuFwyso3MiYWGaHzCkCvA0y14ESNGbJ-FYuV4SPenSHP_D97FJxm6tM2FmB60DtUR6R6tiyB0FUhZwd8a4i1NLoIJ2Z4y6EfvfzVKFI/s320/IMG_9462.jpg" /></a></div><br /><span style="color: #001320; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><br /></div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #001320; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">By the end of March the little Latin American baby that kept popping up in my dreams, thoughts, and fleeting ideas (remember that? from 2013) was a little more prominent in my thoughts. I was certain International Adoption made the most sense for our family. Moose and I talked and he agreed on that and said, "Well, it doesn't really matter to me what country they come from; they'll be in our family afterward no matter what." (such a man! Or truly, such a gift for me to be able to choose that). I reached out and scheduled meetings with 5 different agencies; I made an excel sheet...all the things. I knew that Colombia was the place for us. </span></div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #001320; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #001320; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">AND. Here we are. We are in the home study phase at the moment. This will be a long process. This will be a pricy process. This will, yet again, be a sanctifying process.

I'll post a timeline for you sometime soon so that you can understand what the whole thing looks like a little better. But for now, we covet your prayers. Pray for us as we gather paperwork, raise funds, open our home and hearts, and seek a match. Pray for Eva Kate to understand the waiting process. Pray that she would see a beautiful picture of the gospel through this adoption process and come to know the Lord as her adopted Father and personal Savior. Pray for our child. They may be out there already; they may not even be born. God knows. Please pray. We beg you, our family, friends, and church to walk alongside us as we continue this long journey. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtJS4JEKlOrdbpxsvjiLZQHK71f0HrgT9ezzOvXzCpWl8KukpTonwoKSvxG9t9dIzjrBGINT2_TWgmR2OB1Nvr81F0om9rjbrYSTtzP58Z4RjV_f7mJVrgf0JhpwffxX0Bo_1VZkqNG-M4/s2048/IMG_9540.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtJS4JEKlOrdbpxsvjiLZQHK71f0HrgT9ezzOvXzCpWl8KukpTonwoKSvxG9t9dIzjrBGINT2_TWgmR2OB1Nvr81F0om9rjbrYSTtzP58Z4RjV_f7mJVrgf0JhpwffxX0Bo_1VZkqNG-M4/s320/IMG_9540.jpg" /></a></div></span></div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #001320; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let's go! </span></div><div class="yj6qo"></div><div class="adL" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><br /></div><div class="adL" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><br /></div><div class="adL" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><br /></div><div class="adL" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><br /></div><div class="adL" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><br /></div><div class="adL" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><br /></div><div class="adL" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /></div>Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17615133887844296668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-376384337440883930.post-8339830513002282312019-01-07T12:04:00.001-05:002019-01-07T12:04:45.788-05:00The resolve to be a finisher<p dir="ltr">Y'all. <br>
I'm a quitter from way back. <br>
When things get difficult, I quit. When I realize I'm not very talented, I quit. When I just get over it, I quit. <br>
Well, let's be super honest--that isn't a very good or Biblical way to live! </p>
<p dir="ltr">Over the past year, I've really focused on being a finisher. I completed several Bible studies, one of which was even entitled A Woman Who Doesn't Quit. Lol. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I really do feel like I've gleamed a few principles from these studies and am ready to pursue some realistic goals and processes in 2019. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I am trying to learn. Every day. How to balance "life" with "momlife" with "project life" and "work life" and "home life"...and well, it ain't easy. I fail a lot. <br>
But I'm learning more and more that failure isn't a reason to quit. It is a reason to figure it out, regroup, and go again. </p>
<p dir="ltr">One of the things I've tried, failed, picked back up, tried, failed, and picked back up more times than I can count is this little piece of the internet. It seems I always come back here when I want to feel a little more grounded. So...here I am again. I'm going to try to post two times a week and then a third "catchup" post. I need to fill in the gaps from my 2018. A lot happened that I want to remember, so here is where that will go.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As I start, I am going to remind myself that perfection is never the goal. Progress. Growth. Growing this little person God has entrusted to us. Keeping a house that is welcoming, but certainly not a museum (grin).... those things are the goal. <br>
Learning to be a finisher. <br>
Learning not to quit. <br>
Really, that's my whole goal. <br>
I have lots of mini goals, but mainly I want to be a woman who doesn't quit. I really do. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Let's be accountable in our little goals together. Let's not quit. </p>

Please feel free to skip this post if you don't want to see 53 pictures of my one year old. Grin. If I've said it once, I've said it 100 times.

So, I like to document everything I possibly can on here so that we can bring it to recall later in life. Because, really, who wouldn't want to see these gems again?<br />

In September, we had Mrs. Stacy do a one year old photo shoot for our girl. It was technically for cake-smashing purposes and for party invitations, but we snagged the opportunity to do some lovely snapshots as well.<br />

Eva Kate's face was silly in some of the photos, but Mrs. Stacy captured so many of her expressions, and I never want to forget these days.<br />

We stripped her down for some sweet baby pictures. I feel like these are the last pictures where she looks like a "baby" and then somehow she entered toddler mode without me even knowing it!<br />

Day 5 of our Texas trip was predominantly the drive from San Antonio to Houston. We took advantage of the hotel pool on this day and just rested a little bit! We had tickets for the Astros/Rangers game that night. The tickets had been gifted to us from a family member and we truly did not know what to expect. Yall. THE STADIUM IS AIR CONDITIONED. Those Houstonians do life RIGHT! We thought we might just stay for a few innings, but it was clean, cool, dollar hot dog night, and the girls were ready to party! </div>

Day 6 was fun. It was probably one of the more expensive days, actually, but it was a tourist experience that we couldn't miss! We went to NASA.<br />

We got to actually see the training facility, mission control, the museum and all sorts of fun things. I would say the babies were too young (duh) and the big girls were a little to big. If the girls had been like 3, I think they would've found it incredibly cool. The tour part was super interesting, but the kid area was too young/old for most of us.<br />

Day Seven was open as either beach day or water park day. We opted for beach day! We drove down to Galveston. We had to stop and get some Shipley's donuts on the way! They were truly delicious and lived up to the hype.<br />

We had some sun shade from my giant umbrella that I did not intentionally pack, rather just didn't remove from my car...and had some chair-in-a-bags for that same reason. Oh, and a beach mat. Apparently it pays to keep a randomly stocked car. ;)<br />

After a few hours at the beach, we decided to head home instead of staying the night in Galveston as we had originally planned. We left Galveston around 2 or 3 (ish) and stopped on the side of the Mississippi River somewhere for some UH-MAZING cajun food. We had planned to just keep driving until we got home, but we hit a monsoon around 1 am and stopped for the night.<br />

Day 3 was a jam packed travel day. Before we went, I borrowed a 3 ring binder from a friend who had done a Texas road trip several summers before. I looked at a ton of her things, added some of our own, and mapped it out. Days 1 and 2 would be in Dallas/Ft Worth, Day 3, we would travel through Waco and Austin, but sleep in San Antonio. We would do days 4 and 5 in San Antonio, sleep in Houston for days 6 and 7 in Houston. Then, drive home. It worked out really well with only one little sleeping snag (that I'll get to in our last post). </div>

So, Day three...travel...and WACO! First Stop: Magnolia Market. I must say, it totally lived up to all its hype. The swings, the bean bags, the games, the shopping, the fun atmosphere...it was a great pitstop on a road day to just chill and sight see. </div>

We ate at IN and OUT...because when you see one, you eat at one! It is just what you do! Ironically, on my facebook memories, I had eaten at In and Out on that very day 5 years before in Cali at a grand opening! What are the odds?<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">We then had plans to go to this amazing place called Barton Springs. You had to reserve a slot like weeks in advance, and I did that. It was outside of Austin and the perfect halfway point between Waco and San Antonio to rest, swim, and relax for the afternoon.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
However, nature had different plans. The springs had built up mineral deposits and were closed to the public for 48 hours. The problem with a road trip is you can't just postpone until the next day. We had to punt, but found another really cool natural swimming/state park area to hang. It wasn't the beautiful sights we were hoping for, but we had fun nonetheless! </div>

We made our way in to San Antonio for a quick supper and bed in our hotel!<br />
<br />
Day 4 was official tour de San Antonio. The nerd in me needs you to know I had been waiting for this day since I made a mock Alamo out of a tide box and textured spray paint in the 2nd grade. If only I were kidding.....<br />
Nonetheless, 20+ years later, I finally made it to the Alamo and it did not disappoint! We took our time touring. It was hot, but not insanely crowded. We did the free tour, and I felt like we were able to experience the entire Alamo in all of its glory. I loved it!<br />

I feel like we goofed a little on that day because we then walked back to our car, went to the hotel to chill, rest, swim, etc. and then came back downtown for our Riverboat Tour. In hindsight, we may should've rested after the Alamo, then done all of the Riverwalk things at the same time, but alas.<br />

Day 5 was another travel day. Yet again, we were a tad disappointed because BlueBell was having a bacteria scare, so a stop at their factory to grab a bite was thwarted. We headed to Houston on day 5. Stay tuned for the rest and last of our TX adventure on Friday!<br />

I like to look back and think through "those times", so here are some highlights from the 2nd half of 2017!<br />
<br />
JUNE:<br />
In June, we road tripped to Texas with our whole crazy family! I recapped that trip here.<br />

JULY:<br />
July was insanely full! We did fireworks with all of our closest friends, we prepped and prepped, I went with our Church to the Dominican Republic, then Eva Kate and I went to kids Camp. It was busy, but it was full of the things we love. We also got to catch up with some friends who were back in town for a little bit...AND we went to an auction to support the Meares adoption fund.<br />

AUGUST:<br />
August was back to school and back to Cross Country. Also, can we note the throwback of this cutie who started her senior year in August! August was also a month of loss that began a tough season for the Roberts crew.<br />

December was a month of celebration, but also a month of firsts as we "did" the holidays without the patriarchs of the Roberts crew. We hung out with friends and family and made lots of new memories. </div>

This past summer, the Roberts family embarked on what may be one of the coolest family vacations to date. I am not really a beach girl, so I am always looking for adventure. Our Maine road trips have always been a major part of life, my history, and my nostalgic heart loves them. However, we were looking for something a little different. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We knew that summer 2018 was going to be a big vacation, as we had discussed a cruise for Mackenzie's Graduation year. We also knew we hadn't had a family trip in a few years and wanted this one to be memorable. Morgan and I tossed out the idea of a Texas road trip (I was born there, she was just intrigued) and an epic trip was born.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Note: There were my parents, my brother, Chelsea, Mack and Morgan, Moose, myself, and 2 babies (8 and 7 months old. Eva Kate and Livi are champions). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Because of the baby situation and the 14 hour trip to get to TX, we decided to leave Friday night after Moose got home from work. We loaded up and headed out. </div>

14 hours later, welcome to Texas! We stopped in Cracker Barrel for breakfast and then, as Micah described these last few hours, embarked on the longest two hour drive in the history of drives. LOL! The drive from wherever we entered TX to Fort Worth truly seemed like an eternity.<br />

HOWEVER...the supper we had MORE than made up for it. We ate at Joe T. Garcias. It did NOT disappoint. So, the line was insane for the outdoor garden area, and we were all a tad (a lot) grumpy about it, but dad swore it would move quickly. Literally 5 minutes into standing in the line, a man came by and said "who has more than 6"...um, us! They took us straight to a table that seated 10, past about 200 people waiting in line. That day, it paid to have a big group!<br />

Even the breakfast in TX were Texas shaped! We stayed two nights (ish) each in Comfort Suites rooms. I truly was surprised and pleased with the size of the room, the breakfast, and the ability for us to stay sane while doing hotel life for a week. That is tight quarters!<br />

On day two, our whole task was to make it to downtown Dallas and experience the food trucks. There is this park area right outside the Dallas Museum of Art where all of the food trucks park and we were stoked for this day!<br />

BONUS! We discovered the coolest splash pad. We were truly not prepared, but for some reason had stuck a swim diaper in the diaper bag, so we stripped the girls and let them go at it. They had so much fun! I really think this was one of the best times of the trip and it was a random find. yay for road trips!<br />

Then, we found out that Dallas Museum of Art was having a free family day event. Micah encouraged (read:forced) us to all go in and experience the art. I must admit, though, it was truly a favorite. The exhibits were really cool and varied enough that we found lots to enjoy. It was air conditioned, and we had fun being critics for the day!<br />

Come back Wednesday for days 3 and 4! </div>
<br />Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17615133887844296668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-376384337440883930.post-44888079752272857182018-05-02T05:00:00.000-04:002018-05-02T05:00:00.481-04:00Laundry and other woesLately I've been doing a lot of confessing about my laundry situation. Y'all. I'm bad at laundry. Like...I'm really bad at it. If I lived alone, it would probably be a major problem, but luckily I have a husband and a child who require clothing and complain if it is not clean.<br />
<br />
I've been leading a Bible Study about not quitting (following one about Looking for Lovely --uh-mazing, by the way, go find it .. by Annie F. Downs...I'll wait.....).<br />
In these two studies it directs us to keep on keeping on, to persevere, and to find the good in even the crummiest of situations.<br />
<br />
I have decided to compile a list of the top ten lovely things about my laundry pile (that is legit often from the floor to the edge of my bed. I cannot.).<br />
<br />
10. The clothing exists. It exists in extremity, honestly. I can go a week and not wash and rarely does anyone in our house have to dig for clean undies. It is probably an issue of excess. If we purged, I would probably wash clothes more (maybe).<br />
<br />
9. I can find all of the matches to all of the socks most days. When you wait until all of the laundry has been done (like 4-5 loads) to fold it, all of the socks are waiting on you. it gives me joy to have few to no mismatched socks left!<br />
<br />
8. It is warm, cozy, and smells nice. Eva Kate love to jump into the warm towels. I should probably take advantage of the pleasure she gets in jumping into the warm towels and fold a few, but alas, they often sit in the floor for days.<br />
<br />
7. I have a washer and dryer in my house. They are not the same brand, nor do they match, but they work. They wash my clothes. I do not have to do work. I was in the DR last week and even with the "washing machines" they have, it is a lot of manual labor. I'm pretty sure I would have to find a side hustle to pay someone to do my laundry if that were the case.<br />
<br />
6. I can afford to do laundry as needed. We don't have to go to a laundrimat, we don't have to conserve water. If Eva Kate potties all over a blanket, no worries, let's wash the blanket.<br />
<br />
5. The yummy smell of Dreft. Eva Kate has sensitive skin...like UBER sensitive skin. I had to go to scent free everything. The gentleness of Dreft is still okay and smells just like a baby should, even though she is definitely flying through toddlerhood and straight into "twos"...her laundry smells amazing.<br />
<br />
4. Moose is willing to hang all of the hang up clothes. If we're honest, the worst part of laundry is actually putting it away. I can handle washing it (sometimes, it get washed more than once because I forget to switch it, but who's counting), I can handle switching it, I can even (most days) handle folding it...but I HATE putting it away! Thank God for a husband who doesn't mind hanging the enormous pile of hang up clothes.<br />
<br />
3. I can fit into and actually like all of the clothes I have. This is a little thing, but I hear so many people who are grumpy of their wardrobe. To take it a step further, I have a lovely collection of little girl clothes that make me smile (even when I am stepping over them in a laundry pile as tall as my waist).<br />
<br />
2. I have two sweet people in my family to wash clothes for. Moose and Eva Kate bring me joy. God has given me this precious family. They create dirty laundry. I wash it. It is a catch 22.<br />
<br />
1. My body is able. My mind and feelings may not like it, but the fact that I am able to do laundry for those precious people I mentioned in number two is often lost on me when I am complaining about folding underwear and 20 t-shirts.<br />
<br />
God has given us such great blessings. It is all in how we perceive them. I know my list about laundry may be silly, but it is my <i>thing </i>that just gets after me. I know you have a <i>thing</i> too. Try to find the lovely in it today!Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17615133887844296668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-376384337440883930.post-553785023508352652018-04-30T05:00:00.000-04:002018-04-30T05:00:35.375-04:00Eva Kate 9-12 MonthsI am going back and documenting a few things that I know I will want "one day". I didn't do a baby book or any sort of paper record of my child (because I'm a millennial in every sense of the word or what?) and so this blog and my #savillelifeinpictures on instagram sort of serves as my record book, scrap book, and memory keeper!<br />
<br />
So, I'm going to share some 9-12 month stats, and I will come back with a 1st Birthday Party Post here in the future.<br />

Month 9 was wild and crazy, and mama did something some people would call crazy and left the country for a week (ha!). I went to the DR on our annual mission trip and EK stayed home with her daddy for a few days and went to Aunt Angie Camp for the other days. This picture is her in a precious towel and shoes that were sent to her from the precious friends from Los Asises. I blogged about Moose's trip <a href="http://blog.savillelife.com/2016/09/dominican-week.html">here.</a><br />

Our first year with Eva Kate was definitely WILD, but it was a year full of joy and blessing. It was a year to remember, to cherish, and to always be grateful for.<br />

Sometime every few years, I get crazy busy and totally forget the joy that blogging brings me. Then, I remember...and I decide it is time to start back again! Honestly, when I had Eva Kate, something had to give. At first it was my house (grin), then it was this blog and other things that brought me joy, and then it was....etc. until I finally have gotten to a place where I have gotten myself together a little bit! HA! And now I am able to do some little things that bring me joy and are a great outlet. I know Moose cringes every time I begin to blog because I am putting a little bit of our life out there for the entire world, but such is life!<br />
<br />
It is time for me to get back on the wagon (309 days after my last post...at least I didn't quit for a whole year, right?) and start documenting once again.<br />
<br />
So...that's now.<br />
<br />
I ask already that you please forgive me as I get the memories of the past 7 or 8 months recorded on here for myself. I will try to intermingle new content with the old and get caught up and going.<br />
<br />
The life we live is way too fun to not document for memories!<br />
<br />
In all honesty, this is a little piece of the world where I get to be creative, share memories, explore random thoughts, and just do with what I want. Why wouldn't I carve out a few minutes for it?<br />
<br />
It's the Saville Life :)<br />

When Blogger's app stopped working well on my iphone, my blogging got considerably worse!<br />
<br />
Such Is Life...<br />
<br />
And somehow, I blinked and got a big girl!<br />
<br />
We will start with 7 months:<br />
Crazy girl did a ton in April and May--most of which included being dragged around the universe to see all sorts of different people and things.<br />
<br />
Eva Kate did lots of first things and started her adventure into being "big".<br />

I hope this video works--but miss priss started her strange adventure in "crawling". Eva Kate has her mommy's arm strength (ha!) and instead of using her arms, she does this weird head down crawl. It his hilarious and not effective at all! Here's hoping her cousin Livi can teach her soon!!!!<br />

This girl grew a whole bunch in this month! She can wave hi, clap click her tongue, say mama and baba, she will sit up in the bath the whole time, she wants to pull up on everything (but can't quite master it without some fingers to assist her), she is a big ole mess! She still wants all of the attention ... example--on the way to Texas, she was totally fine and happy as long as I was sitting beside her. When I was sitting up front, she was super mad!<br />
<br />This month, Melly got down a huge box of toys she had kept at her house from my childhood (and Micah's, Mack's, and Mo's!) The girls were big fans of these toys!<br />

Our girl is such a joy. She has so much personality and is the best little member of the Saville family. We can't wait to see her grow and develop even more. She is becoming her own person and I love it so!<br />

My sweet wild child is half a year and I can't even describe all of the feelings! I just am thrilled to see her grow and develop all sorts of fun new traits, habits, and little quirks. Eva Kate loves to be around people, do fun things, and party all day and all night. She has finally decided to sleep in her crib all night, except about every 4th day or so...then she needs a little midnight snack :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br />The past two months have been crazy busy, but also crazy full of things that we don't love--sickness! EK had her first stomach bug, a major cold, and battled a case of the "yucks" several times. It didn't stop her from being absolutely precious during the entire time! She grew like a weed this month 26.5 inches is super long...but at 14 and a half pounds, she is still wearing 3 month clothes (thank goodness for shorts season--tall and skinny people don't love jeans!)</div>

Eva Kate was in such a good mood and her little personality showed in each and every picture. She also is sitting by herself now and thinks she can stand up (ha!), so she spent a lot of time trying to get out of whatever position I put her in.<br />

When the bath starts running, this is Eva Kate's face...every single night. She loves to lay on the bath mat and kick around while it is being run and then listen to country music at max volume while taking her nightly bath. Bathtime has become Moose and Eva Kate's evening ritual and nothing could be sweeter! </div>

We spent so much time with Livi this month! Over the course of the past month, we each had tons of sickness at separate times...which means our girls got to spend extra time together! I swear, they really loved getting to ride in the double stroller, even though Livi looks less than thrilled.<br />

In the move, Moose had a moment of "over it" and trashed our grill. It was a little rusted and starting to not be as effective as a grill, so we decided to just be done. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I figured he would want a new grill for summer, so I combined that "need" and birthday and decided to get him a grill. Eva Kate and I set out on an adventure yesterday to find one. We realized that a put-together grill wouldn't fit in my car. Hmm. We wanted a gas/charcoal combo and tried several stores until we finally found the one we liked.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A man helped us get it down, I shoved it in the car with all of my strength, and then Micah helped me get it out of the car.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yall. That grill had over 80 bolts and 50 pieces. It was like worse than Ikea furniture!!! I put EK in her play seat and we set off. After several hours, interruptions by a needy 6 month old, and a little assistance from Mackenzie, we did it!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now we have a nice new grill :) When moose got home, my parents, sisters, and Micah, Chelsea, and Livi came over for dinner and cake. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a low key, but fun birthday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I sure do love birthdays around here. They give me an opportunity to reflect on the past year and think about how far we have come. Thirty has been a huge year for us. New jobs, new baby, new house, new car...basically all the change. I've loved to watch how Moose has ebbed and flowed with all of the change. I've been blessed with a laid back husband and now a great partner as we parent together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love you Moose! Happy 31!!!</div>

This month may have been my absolute favorite for development for our sweet girl! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
January 17-February 17 were sort of chill (comparatively, anyway) and we enjoyed just being with our people this month.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are Eva Kate's four month stats:</div>

That picture sums up her personality so much. She does everything "big"! Eva Kate is either wildly happy, wildly angry, wildly tired, etc....get the picture? There is no calm and mild to her personality, that is for sure! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Eva Kate has discovered her voice and loves to talk to everything around. She gets really mad when you don't listen or don't understand what she is trying to tell you. It is hilarious! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were taking our pictures and all Eva Kate wanted to do was stand at the edge of her crib and talk to us. She was so mad that I would consider making her lay in the crib with everyone looking at her. I couldn't help but laugh! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our girl has decided to be slightly needy. She wants our attention, she wants to be sitting up, she wants to be playing with something, and she is all about some entertainment. This is perfect for our busy lifestyle. </div>

The one thing that is new that I'm not loving is that Eva Kate has decided she is too cool for her car seat. She screams the moment we put her in there. I die. It totally makes me crack up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We have had some insanely warm weather this winter. It has given us the opportunity to do lots of fun things! We went to the Children's Museum with some church friends and visitors. We also went to Furman to watch some sweet girls from our church play. Brittany and Emma both play Furman softball. We love the Houstons, and the Ogburns are insanely special to our family. </div>

Look at this face! Yall, this is our kid 100% of the time. Full on.<br />
<br />
Eva Kate has started to enjoy her Exersaucer and Johnny Jump Up. She also still LOVES her owl mat and swinging in her Mamaroo (but only FULL SPEED AHEAD). Miss Priss will sit in her bumbo while I make supper and loves to listen to music.<br />
<br />
On that note, she has a new favorite song and it is HILARIOUS to watch. Eva Kate will be pitifully said...turn on [wait for it] Wagon Wheel by Darius Rucker (the old version doesn't work), and she literally giggles with glee. I think it is so funny. I never want to forget these little moments. They come and go so quickly.<br />

Sleeping with no swaddle lasted approximately one week at the end of month three. We invested in a transition sleep sack and it has been great. Most nights, we get a stretch from 10-4 or 10-5. Praise the Lord! For a kid who hates to sleep, this is a major accomplishment.<br />

Micah and I share a sibling rivalry (Mom is on my side; Mack is on Micah's) when it comes to Duke and North Carolina. I am a big Duke fan and was SO excited when we pulled out a rivaly win. Eva Kate agreed; can you not tell?<br />

We just love our girl. She loves to eat her hands and feet (and anything else she can shove in her mouth). It is funny because we went to the doctor for her 4 month checkup, and the doctor was shocked that she was rolling both ways. However, Dr. L said, "I really want you to force her to do tummy time (YUCK) and be looking for her to find her feet and bring them to her mouth soon." Literally within two days, she had that foot in her mouth in the tub. Pediatricians know :)</div>

<br />
We talked a lot at church over the course of the past few months at church about something called our Holy Discontent. Bill Hybels wrote a book by that same name and discusses doing that one thing that just pushes you.<br />
<br />
Popeye is attributed to a quote that says, "That's all I can stands. I can't stands no more." Basically, I have had enough! I must run after <i>that</i> thing and minister in <i>that</i> area or I may literally burst.<br />
<br />
On Sunday nights in January, dad preached a series about finding our discontent, fueling it, and chasing after it.<br />
<br />
I really think I have two Holy Discontents and thought that I might share them with you:<br />
<br />
1. Discipleship<br />

My heart's desire is to help those who already follow Jesus to chase after Him desperately, so that they can grow in Him and lead others to follow Jesus as well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 Timothy 2:2 says, "And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also". I truly believe this verse is my life's mission. I have a passion for this for all people, but especially for women. We need to learn. We need mentoring. We need Jesus, and we need to chase after Him together. Growing people up in Christ to become effective sharers, missionaries, teachers, leaders, and witnesses has been a passion of mine since college, and it tears me apart to see people stay in the same place for any length of time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Growth and development is crucial in all walks of life...but especially your Christian walk. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBxCh6jiHUh1bUmbnbruj8DLVjGBZC5shBI3Yx1WW0fTFWD8oO1mgP3ylvebeh6ijANYtyNhHfFgEXDsb93ERJBYvKAZ8aBD_3N85jK9vMQlQVwgLnZrem6z760NYLHiuNvwdt37yKlwCA/s1600/IMG_6692.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBxCh6jiHUh1bUmbnbruj8DLVjGBZC5shBI3Yx1WW0fTFWD8oO1mgP3ylvebeh6ijANYtyNhHfFgEXDsb93ERJBYvKAZ8aBD_3N85jK9vMQlQVwgLnZrem6z760NYLHiuNvwdt37yKlwCA/s320/IMG_6692.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's the funny thing about what I'm about to tell you in regard to my second Holy Discontent...up until about 2 years ago, I would've said, "It is just not my passion to do the missions part. I will do it because I was commanded, but I really feel like my part is taking those new believers and helping them grow up into what God would have them to be." </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And yet...two years ago, my perspective was changed a little bit.</div>
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our church began a partnership with an organization called ReVision in the Dominican Republic. Their mission is to change the vision (get it) of people there to realize that they have worth, they are loved by God, they can escape the generational poverty, they have purpose, and they can have an eternity in heaven and an abundant life here on earth. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love this so much.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Strangely, I went because it seemed like a neat opportunity...and I couldn't not go. My heart was pricked to the point of no return. I was locked in as soon as the trip was announced. The Holy Spirit was preparing my 2nd Holy Discontent without me even knowing...so...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. International Missions and Discipleship</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I combine the two because I think having a connection with an organization and with the local churches in the Dominican are so crucial. Winning people to the Lord and then leaving them to "figure it out" has always been a major issue of mine with missions.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love so much that ReVision wants to win the lost, build them up, and send them out as leaders and missionaries. It is the philosophy I fell in love with during college with Cru, the one our church (Calvary) holds tightly to (Knowing, Growing, Going), and the one that drives my Holy Discontent.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Scripture tells us in Matthew 28, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations..."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It doesn't say go on a trip, win a few, and peace out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My heart burns for the women and teens of the DR. They need hope. They need Jesus. And they need us to show Him to them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Last July, I was very pregnant and Zika was a very real threat...so I sent my husband and all of my family and prayed like crazy for the work being done that week. It broke my heart to not see my Dominican friends and not to have a hand (physically) in what was going on there.<br />

<br />
Dad and Micah went back in January with several friends from church and another group we join and were able to minister even further.<br />

My heart has a chunk in the DR and I can't wait to go back in July. I know my girl will be loved on by family at home, and I get the opportunity to love on some sweet Dominican people.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My Holy Discontents really combine with one another .... growing young believers to be lovers of Jesus and lovers of sharing Jesus with their friends....whether it be here in the US or Internationally.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I can't stand it anymore...and I will do everything in God's power in my life to work toward building women and men of Christ who can "tell others also" (2 Tim 2:2).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So...what is it?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What is your Holy Discontent?</div>
What can't you stand any more?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Chase it with your whole heart. </div>
