Answered Prayers

(I am going to take a moment to brag on my husband...)So, its safe to say that I freak out about money every now and then(all the time). Its not that we don't have money--its just that we have been putting Matt through school these first 3 years of marriage & its been a bit, well, stressful! So FINALLY(yay) I am proud to say that my husband is a college graduate! Although he begins his Masters Degree in the fall...it is safe to say that he is finally finished with the grunt of his school work! I am so happy to finally have sundays back with him. So without further ado..I give you, Matt Svoboda, Family and Community Consultant for Compass Nebraska! I am so proud of you!

YUM!

Here we are...

February 5th marks 2 years in Kearney, NE! I cannot believe this--this is the longest that we have lived anywhere while being married. We were married in Pittsburgh, PA on 12/1/2007 and the next week packed up a U-Haul and moved to Louisville, KY where Matt was attending Boyce College. Five months later we found out that we were pregnant with our sweet little Caleb. Instead of staying in Louisville where we had no family, we decided to pack up a U-Haul and head to Kearney, NE on Feb 5th, 2009!! We have never been happier with where the Lord has placed us! Immediately he opened the door to life long friendships and the ability for me to grow close with my mother-in-law(whom I rarely spoke with before moving here) Now we find ourselves asking the question-'Where do we go from here?'! So that is what we are praying about... Matt will start seminary in the fall, so we are praying about the best online program for him. We are also praying about what type of church leadership for Matt to dive into and a new job opportunity for him around Kearney. Please keep us in your prayers as we enter this next chapter in our lives!! We'll be sure to keep you updated!

P90x Update!

Well I have taken a little while off, but just started back up 2 nights ago. I am now down to 138 lbs! woo hoo! Now onto my next goal which is 129! haha! (we'll see how that goes)

My baby turned two on saturday 1/8/11! I can hardly believe he is two! We went to his 2 yr check up on wednesday and he is 34 3/4 inches tall (50% percentile) and weighs 31 lbs (75% percentile). Such a big boy! Here are some pictures of Caleb on his birthday!

It's Christmas Card Season, again!

Alright people...Our Christmas cards are going to be a little bit different this year! Since Shutterfly is giving away 50 free Christmas cards to bloggers, I thought I would jump in on the promo! Last year I literally wrote on every christmas card and it was not a lot of fun. SO we recently got our family pictures done, and i thought what a great opportunity to display them on a cute photo card. Christmas just seems to be coming so fast and I don’t have a lot of time to put into each card this year! You can click here to find out more on how to get your 50 free cards. Caleb is getting so big and I don’t seem to have the time that I used to with keeping up on pictures for the blog! So this way, you will be able to hang us on your fridge and look at us ALL year long☺ Aren’t you excited? Its hard looking through all of the cute designs knowing that I can only pick one but here are a few of my favorites from shutterfly…




We are super excited that it is not snowing yet in good ole Nebraska and hope that winter will stay on the east coast this season!! I hope everyone has a wonderful Chrismas season and that you enjoy our Christmas cards this year! The Lord has been so good to my family and Im excited to celebrate Him this season!
