We have a WALKER!!

Obviously, by the title you know that Danica is WALKING now! She walked officially on Easter Sunday in the evening and we are SO excited! She is getting faster and faster; I'll probably be running to catch up with her by next month! Oh wait, let me back up and say the Danica's 1st birthday at the park was an absolute BLAST and she loved it! I'm pretty sure all the kids enjoyed the carousel too! Danica's vocabulary is growing by the day and she can say so many words on her own! I should write them all down and count them so I can track her progress! Someone remind me to do that later LOL! Life is chugging along as usual these days. Eric was told last week that he should be promoted to full-time within a month so we're pretty excited about that! We've started to once again look into our options in housing. I've also finished my dental schooling and am waiting on my CPR certificate to come in so I can register with the state. After that I can get a job in that field! Although I'm hoping to keep Danica home with me until she's 18 months old! I'm definitely not looking forward to going back to work and leaving our little girl in someone else's care! I know, everyone does it, but STILL! This is my BABY!!! Okay, on to something else- we finished paying off one of our vehicles last month with is a HUGE blessing and it feels so good AND weird to not have that payment anymore! God is really blessing us! While things are going so well around here, I can't help but think about the wildfire victims (Texas) and the tornado victims (GA, AL, KY, VA, etc). I'll keep praying that the federal govt gives all these states relief money to rebuild! Also, with the recent death of Osama Bin Laden, everyone's been feeling a renewed sense of patriotism- and relief of course! While I don't celebrate the loss of a life (I'd rather put him in a cell and strip away all his power and let him sit there for the rest of his life) I DO celebrate the end of fear for many countries. I'm just praying none of his supporters take up his reins! Well, my little walker wants to play so I'll update again soon! God bless! ~Jessica, Eric & Danica
