Where we are going?!

where we are going.......

I can tell you where we have been almost a year ago.

On August 7, 2006, the Lee family drove out of Naperville,Il or the western suburbs of Chicago. They were on a new adventure. New parents, new job, new home, new everything.

I was still figuring out breastfeeding and how I was ever going to make it as a new mom. A year later and I am stunned at how God delivered.

Not only did we not have any money coming in, but we had bills to pay and some exploring to do on where we can find the cheapest deals on groceries.
But we made it through August and help from family and friends to help us figure it all out. Last fall, we had everyone visit from both sides of the family at least every month. (very fun) We realized how amazingly beautiful Nashville is in October. But we even had money to spare for Christmas presents.

Springtime brought the idea of looking for a home to rent so we could have a yard. But the Lord directed otherwise. We are still in the same apartment with hopes to buy next year.
Spring also brought some extra money for me as I began to teach private swim lessons.
Spring also developed a mom's playdate into a weekly bible study. These friendships flourished and now we visit even outside of bible study.
Summer brought extreme temperatures seeming to never leave the 90's. But it also brought chance to visit with the Allen family for a week.

So this year in a nutshell has been exactly what God wanted even when we (really me) dragged our feet to be within His Will. We will see what this next year in Nashville has to brung to the Lee's.


ps. the picture is not Nashville. It is Topsail Island,NC. A small reprieve from daily life just when we needed it. My cousin got married on the beach. AMAZING!!
