Sworn In

So, The Husband got a call a few minutes after 9 this morning telling him he needed to be up at the jail to be sworn in at 10. Yeah, that's not a whole lot of warning to get two adults and two little ones ready and out the door. But, we did it. 
Because of the very short notice, his family wasn't able to come, and neither could my mom (we missed you all!!). My dad and sister were able to make it though, and that's really the only reason we have pictures, haha. (Thanks, Dad and Beth!) 
My hands were shaking since I hadn't had a chance to eat breakfast yet, so almost every picture I took with my phone turned out blurry. :/

It was a very simple, short ceremony. 
Perfect for our crazy little family with a baby girl who was missing her nap. You can tell how thrilled she was. Especially when the sheriff held her as I pinned on The Husband's new gold badge. Aw, memories ;)
I think the two of us thought this day would never come, but it did. God was faithful. And, now our family has added "deputy" to the list of professions represented. 
It's been a good day!

    It's been an awesome day!!!!!!! I'm so glad Beth could attend and take some great pictures. God has been faithful with His promise from Jeremiah 29:11-13. " For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Love you.

Monday Musings (5/4)

~I'm in the mood to decorate my backyard with beautiful flowers, especially along the fence line. I was thinking rose bushes. But, then. I get email notifications from a company called Joss & Main often with discounted prices and good deals, and today's email showed that, among other things, they had their garden items on sale. I clicked on over and saw the prettiest hydrangeas! I ADORE hydrangeas. We had them in our wedding, and they were so simple and beautiful. Unfortunately, they already sold out of all of their hydrangeas!!  BOO.  I'll keep looking around to find some good deals.  If you're also in the gardening mood, check out their sales . Maybe they'll have the plant, garden item, outdoor furniture, or other item for around the house you're searching for. ~Saturday morning, my mom and I took the kids to our local consignment shop. They were having a birthday/reopening/moving celebration and had prizes and food and a man doing face painting.

Introducing....

I know I left you all in suspense. Right now I'm running on very little sleep (we were awake for 25 hours straight, & I've slept an hour and 45 minutes total since then), so this is more informative and less story-like--his birth story will come later. I have to tell it, at some point, because it was nothing short of amazing.  And traumatic.  And I may have to gather more details from those who might remember it more clearly. So, without further ado... (And with a very grainy picture from my iPad taken in the early light of day--6:45), I'd like to introduce you to our son. Jack Campbell Born on 6-11-13 at 1:11 am (he's almost 6 hours old) Weighing 6 pounds 2 ounces (praise God!!) and measuring 18.5 inches long.  He's entirely too precious for words.  We feel ridiculously tired and immeasurably blessed. Thank you for praying!

A Little Revealing

**Hehehehe. My blog post title made me giggle.** If you stayed tuned and saw on FB that we'd be announcing this afternoon, then you're in luck.  So, without further adieu, Jack and Ella will be doing the honors.  Now, go on ahead and post in the comments what you guessed :) I was right early on but then changed my mind, so any guess was a good one!
