Never Say Never

A little over 2 years ago we started a new adventure as a family.  We packed up from our small town in Anderson, SC and moved to the suburbs of Detroit.  This blog was created because of the realization that in life the things you say “never” to, God uses his sense of humor to stretch and grow you in new ways.  When Kevin took his current job in his department, which is headquartered in Farmington Hills Michigan, everyone asked if we would be moving to Michigan.  Our, or at least my response was always, “I will never move there!” Although we may have been hesitant about our move to Detroit, God blessed us beyond our beliefs.  Even though today our time there feels somewhat like a dream, a part of my heart will always be in Michigan. 
I feel if nothing else from our move to Detroit we did learn to be careful when saying “never”.  However on occasion that word accidently slips into your vocabulary. 

If your eyes have not failed you and you have passed our eye test then you can rejoice with us in announcing that we are expecting our third sweet child around April 7th of 2014!  I do not recall either Kevin or I ever being adamant about us “never” have another child but I do recall that word slipping out our mouths a time or two in moments of weakness.  Regardless, we are very excited about this little blessing from God!  In an even sweeter blessing, both Chase and Leah are so excited about getting a new little brother or sister.  Chase say’s that it is a boy however he continues to call the baby a She.  Time will only tell .
