Just a great day...

There are some really really great things going on in the Thornburg world! We accepted an offer on our house today! We have been praying and praying and praying that God would sell this place (in His timing, not ours), and after only two months of it being on the market, we have a buyer! Whew! We also had our offer accepted on another house about a week ago, so things are really going to get crazy in the next few weeks with packing, closing, and then moving out by May 5th. Crazy good. God really is teaching us and growing us in this season. There have been a few other things on our plate, in addition to the house buying/selling, and we are finding ourselves to understand the depth of His grace a little more. He's just. so. good.

And if I could capture how my heart feels with a sound, it would be something like this:

Remember me?

I was just looking over my blog and feeling sad about never EVER blogging anymore. So...I'm gonna try to pick this back up again. Really, it's just fun to be able to look back over some of our life, and I don't want to miss the opportunity to jot down some of those things in writing. Here is a very very quick summary of some things that have happened since my last post:

Beck is awesome. Just awesome!
He loves chicken nuggets and cheeseburgers.

As for other stuff going on, we put our house up for sale in February and have had something close to 30 showings to date (there are about 4-5 people interested in it right now, and we are hopeful for an offer soon).

And our offer was accepted on a new house this past Monday (I don't have a picture right now). It's everything we wanted in a house, and we were almost knocked down by the way God orchestrated the whole thing. He is good over and over to us!

That's a very quick summary. I'm hoping to be a bit better about posting something at least every now and then. It's nice to be back. :)

I love smelling like a campfire!

We went camping with Matt's Apex band this past weekend, and it was so much fun! We've already talked about trying to go again sometime before it gets too cold. Spending an entire evening outside laughing and eating around a campfire always results in a very happy Jody! Beck (and his friend Jonas) stayed with Matt's parents for the whole night, and I think they had just as good a time as we did (Thanks, Steve and Denise!). Here are some pics from the trip:

The guys sitting around while the girls were probably somewhere chopping wood, making fire from flint, or putting up the tents. You know how it goes... :)

We were playing a card game called "Wizard." Melissa is apparently "in character."

Choo Choo!!

I have been absolutely buried in work this week, and I haven't been able to be as interactive with Beck. Fortunately for me, he keeps himself busy and doesn't normally get into things he shouldn't. However, this morning, he was in the living room by himself for a few minutes watching Thomas the Tank Engine (he's obsessed with trains lately). I came around the corner to check on him and saw him sitting on the coffee table (which he knows he's not allowed to do). I don't even know how he got up there to sit like this. He was saying, "Choo Choo...Choo Choo!!" And then when he saw me, he put his hands up like he knew he was caught! Haha!

You should see the other guy...

...except the "other guy" is a big concrete slab, so I'm pretty sure he's doing just fine.

Yesterday, while Beck was playing with some sidewalk chalk at grandma and grandpa's, he fell over (face-first) into some concrete. He's doing just fine, and he seriously doesn't even care at all that his face looks like the product of a UFC match. I think it makes him feel tough. I'm sure this is just the first of many to come...(but it still makes a momma feel sad).
