Let the good times roll!

Summer is over ... well kinda ...

It is still in the 100s here (blazing hot, too hot to go outside), but the new semester has STARTED!

I can't even believe how quick the last 3 months have gone. It was an amazing summer, especially since the Lord has allowed me to feel significantly better. What a praise report. But now the busiest season of our lives is about to begin. (I can't believe I am even saying that considering last fall at this time, I was majorly pregnant and gearing up for my whole life to change.)

Us wilsons are busy from now through thanksgiving ... straight ... I am a little anxious and stressed even writing that, but I know that the Lord is IN CONTROL. Jeremey is teaching this semester. The books of 1st and 2nd Peter. What an honor huh? I can't wait to see what the Lord teaches him and teaches through him. Be praying for him, as we are sure that the enemy will try to come in and distract and destroy as he studys each week. We pray that the Lord will get the Glory through his teaching. We just finished up 2 weeks of having Jeremey's family and my family here visiting, and in a week and a half will be taking Tatum on her first plane flight to OREGON to film our friends wedding and see my family. I can't even begin to express how excited I am to share with her the sheer awesomeness of the best state in the country. Haha! Not like she will know whats going on, or remember anything about it, but who cares. We will take a million pictures to share with her when she is older. Even as I write this it feels a bit surreal. I am heading back to MY hometown with my DAUGHTER??? So So so strange and amazing at the same time. The last time I was in Oregon is when we found out I was pregnant, things have changed just a little bit since then ;) The day after we come home, my parents and extended family are flying down for my cousin Joys graduation celebration at DISNEYLAND. This is the cousin Tatum was named after. My cousin Joy has been talking about this Disneyland trip for at least the last 8 years. No but seriously, its all she wanted to do when she graduated from highschool. If you remember from my post when Tatum was born, my cousin is the same age as me. but when she was just little stopped developing correctly, and is a bit developmentally behind. So at 26 she is graduating highschool, and we couldn't be more excited for her. SO Disneyland HERE WE COME. A whole week of magical fun! Right after my family leaves, the entire Wilson clan, ALL of them, will be heading into town for Jeremey's brother Daniels wedding! Dominique and Daniel we Love you guys and can't wait for your amazing day. Following that Jeremey is filming a bajillion weddings back to back, we have our second wedding anniversary, Jeremey and I both turn 27, another trip to Oregon for thanksgiving, Christmas with the Wilsons in Arizona, and then BAM Tatum turns one ... Phew. My head is spinning more than normal now just from writing all that. ALL that to say FALL IS GOING TO BE NUTS, it is going to be FUN, but also NUTS. Lots of events and lots of traveling is kinda hard with chronic vertigo, and a baby. So if you think about it, I could use a lot of prayer. Especially for our flights to Oregon. Statistics show that when I fly, my vertigo gets 10 times worse. Please pray!

Not to mention, somewhere in there our little Tatum will be starting to walk, teeth, and continue to take on the rest of the world that she hasn't already conquered. Have I mentioned that I think Tatum is the most wonderful child to ever crawl the earth? Well she is (in my opinion). Everyday I am more amazed by how smart, and tenacious, and funny (not to mention CUTE) she is. As her momma I can say all these things right? She is an out of this world kind of blessing. She brings our family so much joy it is ridiculous. She truly lives up to her name! And for all of you who were wondering when our little baldy would grow hair. It has BEGUN. Overnight it seems. It is fluffy, wavy, and BLOND. Go figure right? I have a blond haired, blue eyed, pasty white child (for now). She is her daddys girl for sure.

The Lord is so good to us. We are so underserving of such blessings in our lifes. He has been faithful to hold us up as a family through some really rough times, and as we go into such a busy season, we know that He will be holding us up through this time as well!
