New Adventures

My husband Daniel is such a hard worker. He has been with Food Lion for over 10 years. It is the first and only job he has ever had, besides owning his own landscaping business. Food Lion is all he has ever really known. It is the family business so to speak, since so many in his family work for the company, or have at some point. Food Lion is comfortable for him, yet he has been so unhappy there. I mean....miserable. It came to a point where I could see the dread on his face and it was affecting his entire demeanor. Yet like so many of us become in life, he was comfortable yet miserable.

Ponder that one for a moment....

I have always believed in Daniel. I have encouraged him to break out of the mold and try something new. There have been opportunities that have come and gone and I will be honest...I was frustrated that he didn't go after them.

And then THIS opportunity came along....

and God got involved. He forced Daniel to move. Daniel had no choice but to interview and he got the job! (Of course he did...I always knew he could...if he would try! And I am always right ;)

So I can now officially announce that Daniel has a new CAREER! No more job....this is a career for him. He is going to be awesome at what he is doing and I am so very proud of him. He works so hard to provide for this family and for me to be able to stay home with the girls and for that I am so thankful. Please pray for him as he starts this new and exciting adventure for our family!

Weekend Wrap Up

This weekend was nothing too eventful but full of good family time. Friday night we got a sitter (woohoo!) and went out to celebrate my hubby's new job. (Read about that here if you haven't already). My husband lived a sheltered life from a lot of restaurants before he met me, so I wanted to take him somewhere nice. We decided on Cheesecake Factory and took our sweet neighbors, the Meeks, with us. We LOVE them so it made the night that much better. Daniel loved it and I can't even tell you what kind of cheesecake he ordered because it was gone in literally 3 bites. 

The majority of Saturday was spent on the soccer field for Aubrey's last tournament. She did so well and I finally got some action shots! Some of our other sweet neighbors came to cheer her on. It is so nice to be surrounded by people who love us. We are very blessed.  MollyKate came down with a stomach bug Saturday night which meant a trip to GiGi's house because this mommy cannot handle vomit. At all.

Sunday we went to Elevation and then relaxed the rest of the afternoon. It is so nice to Daniel now has a job where he is home on the weekends. His brother came over and spent some time with us which is always nice too.

I hope everyone else had a great weekend too!
