Happy St. Patrick's Day...

We are still in lovely Georgia. I packed nothing green to wear, but I'm hoping that no one will feel a need to pinch the pregnant girl! It's been quite rainy and humid these last few days, which I'm thankful for, because the pollen this time of year falls like thick green snow. I'm glad for me and my allergies sakes that it's being washed away!

We've had a great week so far... Friday we flew into Atlanta and our bff's Brad and Lindsay... and their little boys of course picked us up at the airport... and then we went and had lunch at Cheesecake Factory. I will not lie. I miss dear Atlanta. I felt very nostalgic being back there and seeing where we used to live. We loved spending time with the Fog's and we even got to visit the new Armored Outreach office... which was really really cool. And in such a neat location! It was so good to see how the Lord is blessing and using AO!

Tyler and I stayed in Brad and Lindsay's basement... which they finished out and it is so very cute! We stayed in a room that had no windows, so it was like a cave... very dark. I LOVED it. Usually I enjoy the sunshine peeking through the blinds... but maybe I was just so tired. We got to sleep on a memory foam mattress which let me just say was a joy to my pregnant body. I went straight to sleep... Slept for 11 hours (I did not even get up to go to the bathroom, which alone is quite amazing)... and woke up with NO backache. Thank you Jesus. I feel like it was a miracle... I feel like we need a memory foam mattress.

Saturday we slept in... as previously stated... bummed around the house... ate... and had great conversation. Then it was off to Vidalia, so that we could go ahead and check into our hotel and stay the night since we were leading at the Sunday morning service. The revival week has been going wonderfully. God is moving and working... breaking chains. Brad is doing a great job speaking this week, and Lindsay felt like the Lord was telling her that we needed to give the nursery workers a break... so the whole Armored Outreach crew has been coming every night to take over the nursery. At first, I was wondering how it was going to work. But Lindsay is such a hard worker, and good at delegation... and the sweet nursery ladies were so very blessed. Some of them were able to sit with their husbands for the first time in church in months. Last night, I went into the nursery after Tyler and I were finished leading to help with the babies. I was holding a screaming 6 month old infant, trying to console him, rocking him, talking softly to him... and then it hit me that this was about to be my life. And as scared as I've been... God is good... and I was not afraid anymore... peace washed over me, and I felt ready.

Me and T-Dodds' anniversary is tomorrow! 4 years. Since we are here, and can't to anything too spectacular for the occasion, we drove over to Savannah for some of the day. It was so great! If you've never been... you need to go! We ate at the way fun place called Belford's. I had Shrimp, Grits, and Greens. Sounds crazy huh!? It was SO good! And we had fried green tomatoes!! You have to eat southeren food when you are in Savannah, Georgia! It was the cutest little town. I loved all of the old houses, and the parks with their blooming azaelas!! Gorgeous! It was a very trendy town... which I did not quite expect. They had fantastic shopping and great little coffee shops. My feet were killing me from all of the walking... but it was well worth it. Next time I go, I'll sacrifice being cute, for comfort. Happy Anniversary love of my heart!! I have such a blast with you!

Well... T went fishing with the pastor... and I bet he's loving every second... so I'm going to take advantage of the alone time, and do some reading and napping!

Love you all!
