It seems as though I only get to blogging every few months. I hate that. I wish I were more… hmm what’s the word… consistent. I wish I were more consistent. There’s always a new story around here. Especially that Matt, Jackson and I are living with my parents and my brothers kids almost always over here. *sigh* alas, I am far from consistent when it comes to blogging. And because I am so inconsistent, here’s a little snap shot into our lives since we’ve moved to Fresno/Clovis.

MATT: started a full time job working for a company called J&D FoodService where he is an inside sales rep. And he looooves it! He’s met some pretty awesome people and enjoys working. I love the stories he comes home with and the fact that Matt really wants to learn Spanish now. So he tries to converse with my mom (and sometimes me)… and he eventually switches over to German. It’s pretty entertaining.  We’ve also got to try some amazing food that J&D carries (since they are a food/restaurant supply distribution company.)

SARA: I started my job at the beginning of the year as only part-time. But within the month, they bumped me to full time! Which means benefits!! HOLLA!! I work for Clovis Unified as a sign language interpreter–a job that at one point I thought about giving up. And now I love my job! I love the kids I work with. I love the teachers and other interpreters I work with. The school is great! GREAT! GREAT! GREAT!

JACKSON: is 21 months and will be 2(!) in March! He is very much into sports: soccer, baseball, football, basketball. He only kicks left footed. His sign vocabulary has increased a lot lately but he has also become a “parrot.” The other day my mom called him a “little brat.” And for the rest of the day he said “little brat, little brat.” Jackson also loves music! When Matt gets home from work, Jackson will sign “guitar” so that Matt will play Rock Band for him. True Story! He is such a busy little boy but brings so much joy to those around him. I really should post more cute stories about my ham of a son…

CHURCH:We have been attending Sequoia Community Church in S/E Fresno and are LOVING it!! It’s a relatively new church, planted by our dear friends Nic and Katie Pope. We’ve met some pretty rockin’ people and are looking forward to serving more consistently in this new year. Matt is going to finish his degree by doing his last internship there and we are very excited to see how God moves in this!

… so that’s our life so far. The last thing that’s new and exciting is we are PREGNANT with baby number 2!! We are due June 30th–which means as I write this, I am 13 1/2 weeks pregnant. I’m past the nauseous part but am still tired. However, I feel like it’s gone by so fast! Which is nice, since pregnancy isn’t my favorite thing in the world. The end result of pregnancy is quite amazing… but oh those 40 weeks…

Here are some pictures of the past few months, here in good ol Fresno

I am sure that a lot more has happened during these last few months and maybe my new years resolution should be to be more consistent in blogging. Although I think I say that every year… maybe this year will be different. Maybe. Once we download pictures from Christmas, I’ll upload those too. But before I end this post, I gotta give a shout out to my sis-in-law (Heidi) and her hubs (Joe) on the birth of their first baby girl: Elizabeth Joy! Born Dec 26th, 2009! I love this little girl SO much and I have yet to hold her. Guess we’ll be traveling to Vancouver sooner than later! Oh and another shout out to our parents for all the support and baby sitting these past few months. We couldn’t have gotten through it with out you!!
