I tried to put together a slide show. I hope it works. You will be able to tell that these are my pictures not Justin's. The boys had a camera this year. In a few days I will post their pictures.

The Colson Red River Trip
We had a great time in Red River this year. The weather was perfect and the kids got along really well. It is so much fun to watch them play together. We asked the boys what their favorite part was about this year's trip. Jaxon - my cousins and Cole - fishing

New Jobs
Justin has had his first few days of his new job and I am back from a meeting in Austin. This was my third meeting this summer and my mind is swimming with all of the information. I am also trying to read a few books that pertain to my new job. Hmmm...where do I start?
Justin has enjoyed the last few days. I commented tonight that I could already see less stress on his face. I am sure there will be days that are difficult...you get that with any job, but this environment seems to be much more positive. The test will be tomorrow. He usually worked M,T,W on 12 hour shifts. I am wondering what he will do when he works five days a week now. :)
We leave for our annual Colson Red River trip on Friday. Our boys cannot wait to be in the jeep with their Granddad. I wonder how many fish will be caught this year. I love watching Dad with the kids, shopping with Mom and Melissa, and dragging our sweet husbands into EVERY store to show them the same things over and over. Last year I won the "Rock, Paper, Scissors" game against Melissa for the king size bed...I wonder who will win this year? Red River here we come!

Living by Faith
My first reason to start blogging was so that I could share with the boys one day. I have told of many Nash events, but am not very good at sharing my thoughts. This one is really for them later, so that they have an inside view of me. :)
I did not realize how much I live in dread and worry of things to come until yesterday. During the sermon and bible class, I felt God pulling at my heart. I think these feelings are especially strong right now during our job changes. Instead of being excited and feeling renewed, I instantly think of all of the things that could go wrong or bad times we may have. All the while, I am completely missing the joy of God doing great things in our lives. I am missing the fun ride that has been planned for us. I have come to realize that I live with expectations not expectancy. Meaning, I predict what is going to happen whether good or bad and then sometimes am disappointed by the real outcome. I would love to walk into a situation eager to see what God is going to do. Funny thing is...God has always gone above and beyond my expectations.
My prayer this week will be that I live completely by faith and joy that He is in control. I WILL enjoy these changes and dive in to see what He has planned. God is good ALL the time!
