It's been too long...

I cannot believe that is has been over two months since my last post but with a baby, working on grad classes, keeping up with the house etc I can believe that time flies. There were several times where I would have liked to blog but could not find the motivation to create what I would have thought would be a perfect blog post. So after talking to one of my friends I have resolved to blog more often not worrying if the post is perfect. To me, blogging is a way to document our lives as a family, post pictures for the grandparents, and now I see it as a quick outlet to share my thoughts of marriage, motherhood, and other daily ramblings that I might share.

Ever since I was a young girl I have been a list girl who loves to prioritize my responsibilities. Now that I am wife and mother I have greatly decreased my list making and am striving to spend more time enjoying the little things in life and not becoming so focused on task making. So here I am again ready to start journaling our life with our sweet son Elijah. In the days to come I will share Elijah's birth story, our first days as parents, a post about his first, second, third, and fourth month, and our wonderful vacations that we have taken so far this summer.

Stay tuned for more posts...but for now...lots of love from our home to yours!

PS- I will leave you with one picture of our sweet boy playing on our exercauser!

Welcome to the Purdy family blog

Good afternoon friends!For those of you who do not know our family personally let me give a little of background information before launching this new blog. Jason and I met, dated, were engaged, all at Liberty University where we graduated from college. We will be married two years next month- June 14th. Last summer we moved to Wake Forest, NC so Jason could attend Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (SEBTS). The Lord blessed us with a surprise baby on March 8, 2010. Elijah is two months old and we are learning to love life with a newborn. The days might be long at times with hubby working full-time, taking seminary classes, and me staying at home with our sweet son but the weeks are already flying by. Our desire is that everything in our lives would be about the Gospel and making Christ known wherever He leads us. We are learning to surrender each day to Him knowing that an abundant life is what He intended for our family all along!

I will post many pictures, mostly for the grandparents:) of our family as we enjoy our days in seminary and seek to learn many lessons from the Lord.

Over time, I will do reflection posts that will hi-light our college days, dating, engagement, marriage, honeymoon, and first year together in VA. Next post I will begin on March 7th 2010 and document for my family how our lives have changed for the better. This blog will be a keepsake for our family, hopefully an encouragement to many, and a beacon of hope to any who read knowing that we live our lives proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I will seek to document the good days, bad days, and everything in between so through all we can see God leading us daily.
