Pics from Sofia's first Easter

Sofia's First Easter was so much fun. We started the day by going to church(of course she had a new Easter outfit) Jason played drums for worship at church. After worship we took some pictures outside, it was a beautiful day. Then we got back to the house and made honduran enchiladas for lunch/dinner! They were so yum!!! Later that evening Sofia had a change of outfit because she had a huge blowout, all over her pretty dress. Also that evening she got her ears pierced by her auntie Bobbi. She did so good. just a small cry and a few tears. Daddy made it all better by holding her, of course! It was a great day!

Sofia's first EASTER!

Florida is on my mind...

So, Jason and I moved to Illinois back in November of last year. We were so excited to come here and start our life and our family in the Midwest. Everything looked right out here. Jason got a great job at Chase bank, and a house was in our near future, we loved the neighborhoods and the lifestyle out here! We were having fun building relationships with family here, especially with my sister-in-laws and nieces. But at some point in the last 3 months things just have not been working out. Jason lost his job at Chase and we are still renting from his parents. Jay has ben able to pick up some side jobs since(thank you Lord!). Things are not looking very promising here in the Midwest. And of course, I miss my family so much. Going to Fl last month was a teaser. I had so much fun, and my heart was just full of joy being around my family, I have been missing that feeling for a long time. Well, all this to say, we are making plans to move back to FL(orlando). It is a bittersweet decision. We wanted things to work out here, but at the same time we want to be in FL. We just can't have it all:( We are now in the process of looking for jobs, filling applications and finding a place to rent. The house market is great in FL(buyers market), so we hope to buy a house by the end of the year. But the first step is finding a job. We are not making a big deal about this because we are being very cautious and trying not to get our hopes up and we know this will not be easy. It has been hard up here, but what a I really want and pray for is to get our lives going. We have felt stuck the past couple of months. My heart's desire is to have a place of our own and basically to get our life going...
I just read what i wrote and it sounds very sad. I just want to say that even though it's been difficult, the past 3 1/2 months have been wonderful as well. Sofia brings joy to our lives every single day! She is such a great baby. I enjoy every morning when she wakes up and smiles up at me when i get her out of her crib. God has given Jason and I great joy through our little Sofia! Thank you Jesus!
