For way over a year now I have been struggling with the fact that we never named the baby we lost. When Brooke and Josh had baby Maggie and witnessing their struggle with naming her made me start thinking again. I believe in my heart the baby we lost was a little girl. I may definitely be wrong and I won't know until I finally get to meet her in heaven but I finally came up with a name for her: Abigail Grace. Baby Abbey, went to rest in our Father's arms April 18th, 2008. Though she didn't make a significant impact on your lives, she did mine. I will never forget the pain I felt that day. I can't wait to join her and the rest of our loved ones in heaven someday. Which brings me to my next topic. J.R. and I are getting matching tattoos. It will say, "In Heaven Too" in Hebrew. For us there is just so much meaning behind that little phrase so I am really excited about it.
In other developing news we may be moving again! It will be the 4th time in less than a year. I love being back in Tulsa and love the neighborhood we are in right now, but we have an opportunity of a lifetime to buy a house in Sapulpa. We weren't planning on being able to buy a house for another 2-3 years because this past year has absolutely demolished our credit. J.R.'s boss owns several rent houses and has decided to sell all of them. The particular one we might buy just happened to be a foreclosure that his boss bought for well below market value and he is just going to let us take over the payments. So, basically it will be rent to own but here's the best part..... it's the same size as the house we are in now and in better condition, plus its Sapulpa schools instead of Tulsa and the mortgage payment is only $325.00 a month!!!! We are currently paying $800.00 a month in rent. Also, rent will come straight out of J.R.'s paychecks so we wont ever have to worry about it. I am pretty stoked about all that. I am NOT however stoked about moving... again. Like seriously, we may have set a record for the amount of times moved in one year! So anyway if we have something that you have been eyeing then let me know because you could probably have it!

That's so cool that you named your little one in heaven. I think the Lord gives us mothers an insight into the things like whether it was a girl/boy and what they looked like. I always picture Samuel with dark hair and dark eyes even though that's the opposite of what Landon looks like.
How exciting about buying a house! I hope the move isn't too stressful.
Marcie, that's so funny you mentioned how you picture Samuel with dark hair and dark eyes. I always have this picture of Abigail with light brown curly hair and hazel eyes. Even though Jayden and Gavin have blond hair thats straight as a board. As for the move we have become experts on it :) We just have so much junk we need to get rid of!
