Oh the places you'll go...


About a month ago Brad received a text message from a pastor in Winston-Salem about going overseas to lead worship for a retreat for missionaries. Well. long story short. Brad and I are BOTH going to South Asia March 13-21 and we could not be more excited. Due to the sensitivity of where we are going we were asked to not announce where we are going on public sites, like this lovely blog. If you don't know where we are going then maybe we should catch up on life, and you should give me a call. :)

When Brad and I got married I changed my name on my social security card and that was about it. Since Brad is considered a full-time student in NC it was not necessary that I change my driver's license. So, when we were told we not only needed our passport but a visa as well, I had to start working fast to get things done! In the matter of a few weeks I changed my driver's license and passport. Thanks to a great senator's office and staff in NC I had a new passport within days! It's been a crazy past few weeks getting things together. Thankfully, Brad and I are both full of any and all vaccines needed to travel overseas so that was the only thing we didn't have to get done! It has been wonderful to see how the Lord has opened doors to allow both of us to go on this trip.

In the meantime...my beautiful sister-in-law is days away from having baby Harper and we could not be more excited. Not that I have to be in Birmingham when Harper is born, but I would at least like to be in the country to hear the play by play of her arrival! Her due date is March 28th so let's pray she won't arrive too early! I could cry just thinking about being an aunt and loving that baby girl.

So, March is going to be an exciting month, to say the least. I will leave you with some beautiful pictures of the lilies my sweet husband brought me yesterday for my birthday. Did I mention he also made me breakfast in bed, took me out to lunch, and got me a new iPod? He also loves me unconditionally, which is the best part of my day, every day. He's so great.
