Last one for a while

It's raining here and i get a good wireless signal when it rains. so i'm actually sitting in my apartment on the internet. Like i said yesterday there is so much to say and not the time or energy to tell. I've been really wanting to rediscover myself. I know i am not the same person i was 5 mos ago. Somehow i think i should be the same Joy plus new little Lucy. But i'm not. I'm a whole new person I'm going to take some time to find out who this stranger is. I know i'm a mother now but that's about all i know. I'm so confused about all the should do's and be's i need time to figure it out. I'll be taking a break from my Blog. I have no internet nor energy to work thru it on line. It's not the best way for me to process things. I have too much of a celebrity complex, i keep thinking i need to explain it just so or have something witty or funny to say. I need to go thru this on my own.

We are going to Mexico this June and we'll be there for 2 months. We are packing up our things and putting them in storage. During this time we will be helping Brian and Kirsten Donohue with the Cuirim Outreach in Nogales. I'm excited, scared, sad, happy, nervous, anxious and everything else that goes along with taking your baby to the dirty desert of Mexico in THE SUMMER! But we are sure this is where He wants us to be. When we return we'll stay at my mom's for a couple of months until we know what we will do. We would like to by a house in Lynchburg but we aren't sure yet if this is what He has for us.

I've been thinking of the title of my blog "Fromjoy" I would like to do just this. Sell all i own and purchase the field with the treasure in it. This is the Kingdom of God. So here's me "selling" everything. Goodbye blog. good bye Sweet #7 my favorite place i've ever lived. I don't even know how i'm going to pack one thing. Good bye sweet summer time in Lynchburg. Good bye my good friends, and my sweet Grace. I really want to believe that Brian and i are going back to this field for the treasure. Now i just have to find a way to sell all i own. I'm so selfish this is going to be the hardest move i've ever been thru.

I hope to post now and then, but go ahead and take me off your RSS. While i'm gone tho here's some fun stuff to read and one more cute Lucy picture with Daddy. I can't believe she is 5 mos old today!!!

So much to say..

I've been living surprisingly well with out internet for about a month now. WOW! I miss it terribly. We don't have a reliable signal at home. I am currently stealing away a sweet hour while Lucy sleeps. Brian stayed at home for me to rush down to the Daily Grind get an iced tea & wi-fi...

Altho i've wanted to blog every day this whole time with out internet i've kept my self under control. I've been using the old fashion phone to get in touch with people! i hate it!

Since i've had internet my brother got married and it was amazing.. We had so much fun. Lucy did great on the plane and loved being with family. She was all smiles. She got to meet my Nena for the first time and that was so special. I will soon post tons of pictures on my new Flickr Pro - Thanks baby!! but here are a few fun ones just to give you a little somethin'.

Stay tuned. I'll share a more soon about our up coming trip to Mexico in June. But won't be posting as often cause of the internet. Thanks for reading love you! muuuaah





had such a great time with our friends Andrew and Kristen. A real highlight of our trip! love you guys!!



And of Course our great getaway at Flagler Beach. Thanks for taking me to the White Orchid baby i loved it!
