So I haven't blogged in a while and I needed to update you on our 6th anniversary weekend! Our anniversary was actually Sunday, June 22, and we were planning to go to dinner and a movie that night. However, Saturday morning Jeffry woke up around 2 a.m. not feeling well. Our church had an outreach at a children's home that day, and he was supposed to be there at 7. Since he was feeling bad, he didn't leave until around 8. I brought the kids with me around 9:15. It was so much fun! Most people pruned bushes and hedges, while others painted or power-washed. Everyone brought lemonade, watermelons, and made homemade ice cream. The kids played or helped their parents. Caleb had so much fun putting the pruned branches in piles. I think it's great for our kids to see us in ministry...actually reaching out to other people in our community. Anyway, after the outreach, Caleb and I came home while Jeffry took Brayden to a cow sale in town.
A few hours later, they came back home and Jeffry laid on the couch saying he still was feeling bad. We tossed around ideas of what it could be, and I got online and looked up symptoms of appendicitis. He had a few but no fever, nausea, or vomiting. We decided to go ahead and call our family doctor and ask his opinion. The doctor happened to be playing golf on the golf course where we live! So Jeffry met him on the 9th hole, and Dr. Burn checked him out right there, haha! (Only in a small town!!) Dr. Burn poked him and said it was definitely his appendix, and that he needed to go to the ER for a cat scan. Ahhh! I started freaking out a little.
I rushed to get some clothes packed for the kids, and we dropped them off at my friend Cydnee's house. Then we headed to Hattiesburg to the ER. We got there around 5:45 and by 11:00, Jeffry was in surgery having his appendix removed. He got out of surgery just after midnight (which was now our anniversary), and the OR nurse called to let me know he made it out well and he was doing ok. He was so groggy but had the presence of mind to tell her to tell me "Happy anniversary, and sorry my present is such a bad one this year". Can you believe that!? That was the first thing he said when he woke up! I thought it was sooo sweet!
So we were in the hospital until last night. Him sleeping in the uncomfortable hospital bed and me sleeping in the uncomfortable chair that folds into a (joke of a) bed for three nights. Well I guess really two and a half. Oh, and the only thing to do was stare at each other or watch TV. Yes, we are officially sick of TV. And well-versed in all the current commercials. What a way to celebrate our 6 wonderful years together. :) However, I did remind him that day that I promised to love him in sickness and in health...and I was definitely fulfilling my promise, so what better way to commemorate our day. And he still owes me dinner. Haha.

Baby News
I went to the doctor on Thursday of last week for my check up. I'm now 17 weeks pregnant! After what seemed like forever in the waiting room, I finally made it back to the exam room. The baby's heartbeat sounded great! It was 154...good and strong! I really didn't have anything exciting this time, other than making my ultrasound appointment for July 10th! We are going to find out what we are having just like we did with Bray & Caleb. I'm so impatient; I can't wait a whole 40 weeks to find out!! I'll keep you posted!

Destin Women's Retreat
Two of my best friends and I went to Destin for a women's retreat a couple of weekends ago. It was so great! The main draw for me was that Kari Jobe was leading worship. If you haven't heard of you, you MUST go visit myspace.com/karijobe or www.karijobe.com. Oh, and go by the new album by Gateway Worship; she's on there. :) Love her. The retreat itself was good, but we really just enjoyed being with each other and spending quality time together. It's a lot different with no husbands or kids around! Haha. Anyway, here are a few pics from that weekend.
Me, Kisha, Kari Jobe, and Cydnee
Me with Kari Jobe! She's my favorite!
Cydnee, me, and Kisha. My two bestest friends!

Life Changes
It's been about two weeks since I last posted! Sorry guys. We've had a lot going on though! I went to Destin with two of my girlfriends to a women's retreat that was incredible. I'll post on that later though. Our new house at the farm is framed up, and we've had tons of people there working every day! Now we are just praying for the right buyer for our house on the golf course.
We have had quite an eventful weekend this weekend! It started Thursday night with Brayden's K4 graduation. My parents, brother, aunt, cousins, and Jeffry's mom and dad came with us to see Brayden graduate from First Baptist Wiggins K4 program. It was the cutest! They sang several songs, quoted Bible verses, and received their diplomas. I was so emotional that morning after I dropped him off at school. I can't believe he's already finished with preschool and ready for REAL school!
Friday, we drove up to Madison to see my baby brother graduate from Jackson Academy. The entire family (including grandparents, aunts, cousins, etc.) ate dinner at The Haute Pig beforehand. It was so yummy. After that we headed to Christ United in Jackson to see Evan graduate. It was kinda surreal...I can't believe my brother is out of highschool. The great thing is that he has decided to go to USM so he'll only be 30 minutes away from us now! I can't wait!
Today was Caleb's 3rd birthday! I woke up and made chocolate chip pancakes for him in the shape of a 3. We put candles on them and let him blow them out. He loved it! He was super excited because he got to move up to a new Sunday school class at church. Our church is small right now, so the 3-6 year olds are in a class together...which means he and Brayden are in the same class for a while. It was great; he's so glad to be out of nursery! For lunch, we met Jeffry's mom and dad at a local restaurant and then came back to the house for cake and presents. Tonight we took him to a Mexican restaurant where they gave him a sombrero and sang to him! His face was precious!!
In other news, we are expecting another baby! This is number three! My due date is December 2 (my good friend Kimmie's bday!), so I'm about 12 weeks along. I had a doctor's appointment Thursday morning, and we heard the heartbeat! Everything seems fine; I've been pretty nauseated, which they say is a good sign. I had an ultrasound about a month ago, and the baby was so tiny! Just a little speck. It's amazing how God works! I think the baby is about and inch and a half long right now. Caleb wanted to know if the baby was just "swimming around" in my tummy, haha. I guess so! Anyway, just wanted to update you guys. Please keep us in your prayers!
