Texas, here we come!

Only 2 more days until we fly to Texas! I talk about this a lot, but it's because I miss my little brother and sisters so much. How many 22 year old women have a 5 month old son, and also 3 younger siblings, ages 14, 7, and 3 months? I miss those little kids very much!

We FINALLY found a new car. Isaac and I have been trying to get rid of both our cars and trade them in for a new one. We started looking around at dealerships, and after 6 days of exhaustion, we bought our car on Saturday afternoon. It's a 2006 Jeep Commander, really nice and it is just what we need. We wanted to get a Toyota SUV, but St. George is a small town and it was impossible to find here! Now we have just one car and our payments stayed the same- whew!

My sister-in-law Chelsey is having a baby this Wednesday, and I am so excited because it's the first baby girl in the Smith family! Also, my other sister-in-law Laura is a couple months pregnant and is sick as a dog- keep her in your prayers! She wasn't this sick with her boys, so she's thinking it's a girl. The Smith men seem to only make boys, so for any of us wives to have a girl, it's very exciting.

I hope you are all doing well. Stay grateful for what you have and live life for what's important. 1 Timothy 6:6 in the Bible says "Godliness with contentment is great gain." It's not the material things in life that fill our hearts and bring us the most joy, and when we die, we can't take any of it with us anyway! Talk to you all when we get back from the Lone Star State.
