Growing, growing, growing!!

This week I went in for my 3rd check up on Baby A, and let me say they are growing nice and big!! Now, obviously I'm not even showing so they're not huge or anything but still the 6 week ultra sound compared to the 13 week was insane. We are so excited to meet our sweet baby and I can't even tell you how ready I am to know what it is!!! Hopefully by Christmas! Not only did I get to see a growing sweet baby I also got to hear the incredible sound of a heartbeat. You get  see the heart beating each time you go in for an ultrasound, but actually hearing it is unreal.


Some new things going on with us are: we are starting a Young Marrieds life group at our church and we are so excitd about this process. It is something that we have tossed around and prayed about for some time and we just feel that this is the right timing to begin. It is so cool growing up in a church like Cornerstone and then seeing yourself growing in leadership. I am so very excited about what God has in store for us and our group and for the relationships that are going to grow out of it. 

God has also opened the door for an incredible opportunity for me and I will hopefully find out Tuesday if that open door is a reality. When God called us back to Nashville I thought that everything would just happen and don't get me wrong things have happened that are only explained by Gods blessings. The hardest thing for me though is the fact that God opened some doors for me immediately when we moved and I thought those doors would stay open forever, however I am realizing that God has an entirely different plan. I know that though things didn't work t quite like I had desired they never strayed from the plan that God had intended. I don't know what is next for me but I do know that God has never once taken his hand off of me or my family and that he is saving me for something better. I know that there are more blessings for us on the way and I can't wait to find out what those blessings are and tell you about them. Pastor Davis has been talking on Wednesday nights about having a spirit of expectancy and expecting and believing on blessings for Gods children, not to constantly focus on the negative but expect positive. I am expecting the positive, I am expecting for God to pour out his blessings on me and my family in a way that we can't even imagine. It might not happen quite like I think but I am still living in a spirit of expectancy of his goodness. 

Long Time No Blog!

So it has been quite awhile since I have blogged about the life of the Armstrong's! Life lately has been crazy wonderful and full of change. Since my last post I have graduated college, started a new career, gained a nephew and just enjoyed life with my man! Finally, after 3 long years of work I was able to graduate from the University of Memphis with a Bachelors of Science in Education this past December. Though teaching is something that I have always enjoyed and something that has always been a passion of mine, I took a step in a different and decided to work in the Insurance field. I recently started a new career working at Lipscomb and Pitts Insurance here in Memphis and I absolutely love it. The people and the environment are more than I could ask for. I am so grateful for this opportunity and am continuously thankful for the doors that God is opening up for me in this new job. So excited to see what the next year holds for me.


Not only did I graduate and start a new job I also gained a sweet nephew from my beautiful sister in law Robyn. Reagan Michael joined the world this past Christmas Eve and I could not be anymore smitten with him. What I love most about him is how in love Alex is with him and how I can see that one day he will make a fabulous dad! Though that day is not anytime soon, it is still a sweet thought to imagine. For now we just get to love on Reagan, Briley and Aiden and all the other sweet babies that have graced us with their presence. 


Aside from college, jobs, and nephews I have just been loving life with my wonderful husband. We were able to celebrated our one year anniversary last October and one year in our home this past January. It is so crazy to think how fast time has flown by and how much fun life with Alex is. We have shared so much in this past year and a half and it is crazy to think of how much more we will get to experience together. I am so excited and grateful that I get to  spend the rest of my life having this much fun with the man that I love. So now that you are all caught up on the life of the Armstrong's, maybe I will get better and keep blogging.
