Absense

Wow it seems i have been absent for the blogging world for awhile. but life has still been happening. looking back it feels like there isn't much to report but really to think about it a lot has been going on. Sawyer is now 6 months old. she had her 6 month appointment and we were told that she hasn't grown much since the last appointment. doctor said not to worry for now but we'll going to watch it so we'll have to go in the beginning of next month to have her weight checked and see if it is something to worry about. Sawyer is really crawling now, all over the place!
she even has started pulling herself up on things... everyone tell her to stop lol I'm just kidding. she's just too little to be moving so much.
but she is so fun she tries to follow me and explores.
She likes playing and using me as a jungle gym. She still loves bath time and loves eating solids. We haven't tried too much yet but we haven't found a food she won't eat yet, I'm sure it's coming. So far so good. she really like squash and bananas though.
she also seems to like other kids, i take her to the babysitting room at the YMCA when i go to work out and i have a few other groups i go to where she interacts with kids. She is such a joy though, i feel extremely blessed by being her mommy.
And sawyer had her first valentine's day!
Also God has been really moving in Micah and my lives and really strengthening and bringing us together. I just can't fathom anymore how people can't see His majesty everywhere, He speaks so loudly if you just listen. and I think we have been and relying on Him. Speaking of bringing us closer, two weeks from today Micah will be on his way back to the states for a 14 day leave. We just can't wait! We are going to visit Josh, Micah's brother, and his family for a few days and just be enjoying each other. Sawyer will get to meet her cousins! about half of them at least. I'm looking forward to the trip and just the whole thing!

i will post something i guess

So Lesley asked me to post something on here so that people could hear from me exactly how I am doing with things here in Iraq. First off, I would have to say that this is by far the hardest thing that I have ever done. I hate being away from my family, and I really dislike being with the people that I am here with. They are immature and pick on me for various things. It really reminds me of when I came back to Florida on furlough with my family in 5th grade. They all get along and I am the odd man out for some reason. I have never felt so isolated or alone in my life.
On the flip side of that, I think that it is good for me to be here. I have learned a lot about myself and i also belive that it is something that God has provided me with to take care of my family. It is hard but I think that I will make it. I need to spend more time in the Word and just put my cares and my doubts and worries on Him. Pray for me in this. Love you all.
