Employed!

By Jordan:

It's been almost an entire month since our last post, so let me get you up to date.

JUDE HAS ANOTHER COUSIN! Landon Chase Lecklider was born August 5th to my sister Lindsay and her husband Chase. Meagan and I are so happy to have another nephew! Welcome to the world Landon!


As we reported in our last post, Meagan started a new job at the end of July at New Hope Childcare Center in Brentwood. This also meant that Jude would begin going to daycare a few days a week, and although he had a rough time the first week or so, he is doing much better and we believe that it's actually doing him some good.

Also, I'm happy to report that I have kept my commitment with my diet. I'm no longer drinking much coke, and instead drinking mostly water. I've begun taking vitamins. I haven't eaten any vegetables yet, BUT I am seriously considering trying this salad that I keep seeing advertised (it has chicken and bacon in it so...).

We are excited about Jude turning SIX MONTHS OLD a week from today! Meagan and I have decided that we are going to celebrate it for him. Unfortunately they don't make cake flavored baby food, so we are just going to have to get a cake for the two of us to share. Sorry Jude.

OK, THE BIG NEWS! I have just been named the Youth Coordinator at Cook's United Methodist Church in Mount Juliet! I have actually been serving there on an interim basis for a couple of months, but I am SO excited to say that not only are we going to be there through the end of the year, but God willing, we will be there for many years to come. Praise God! Since late March of this year when we felt like God was saying, "Now is the time," we have been praying and pursuing His call on my life, and to have it finally settled and to know where we're going to be is a huge relief. Thank you all for your prayers!
