Update

Just a quick update from the last post. Justin got another job! He will be working again at Lifeway. He worked there a couple of years ago when we first lived here in the apartments. We are so happy this worked out. I am so blessed to have a husband who is willing to work two jobs and go to school full time so I can stay at home and take care of our sweet baby! He's the best...really! I love him. :)

Fall Time...maybe?

Well it's fall....I think. It doesn't really feel like fall weather lately but the fact that football is on our tv from Saturday-Monday makes up for the weather issue. We haven't had a lot going on lately. We just got back from a trip to Oklahoma. We haven't been there since August. Our time there always goes by so fast, and we never have enough time to see everyone we want too. It will be nice when we can spend a week or longer there.

I have a prayer request for those of you who read this blog. Justin is searching and applying for a second job right now and we are hoping he will be able to get one soon, or just one that will pay a little more. We both would love for me to continue to stay home with Luke. I can't imagine putting him in a daycare after being home with him for the last few months. I will get a job if that is what I need to do but Justin would like for me to stay home and he is willing to work another job so I will be able to do that. We are also looking for something I could do at home...babysitting would be perfect. We are trusting the Lord and know He will continue to take care of us, just like He always has.

Random thought....I love the Etrade commercials with the baby/babies...they make me laugh every time! (sorry it just came on and I had to share)

Much needed update...

So, we have had some changes in the past couple of months. We are now all moved back into the seminary housing in Cordova, Tn. We love it! I have no idea how I fit everything into that little house in Wynne. I am loving the space and just living in the apartment complex and being surrounded by other students and their families. I know Justin is loving being close to the school and his friends.

He recently got a job at Kirby Woods Baptist Church doing maintenance work. He gets to work with one of his friends from seminary and he seems to enjoy it. I have been staying at home with Luke since June and I love it! I couldn't be happier....it's the best job ever. The Lord has also blessed me with a real good friend. She and her husband live right under us. She has a baby who is about a month older than Luke and she stays at home with him as well. We work out together and it's been such a blessing to have a such a good friend to hang out with and our babies seem to have fun together!

It seems like Luke is doing something different everyday. He is such a happy baby...and people tell me that all the time and then ask if he ever cries...to which I usually reply with a laugh and a uh yes! He just started sitting up and does really good at it....he is trying to crawl, he can scoot and turn himself around pretty well. The only problem we are having now is he is not wanting to take naps....he will cry and fight me for about an hour or so. It can be pretty frustrating. He has also been waking up a few times during the night, and he has been a great night sleeper since he was about 6 or 8 weeks. We have been traveling a lot lately so I think this may have something to do with it. I"m sure it's just a phase and he will get out of it! He's still a wonderful baby and I couldn't be more blessed. He makes us smile and laugh everyday! :)

Almost There.

3 days left! We will be moving back to the seminary housing on Friday...and it's my last day of school! We are very excited. :) Not really excited about the rest of the packing/laundry I have to do...but it will be worth it when we have a bigger place! Luke will be staying with his Nana (my mom) all weekend so it will help to get things unpacked. I am so thankful to have my mom living close...it is a true blessing. If we ever move far away from her...she's coming with us.

Hmm

I love vegetables! Yummy!

Summer Time!

Tomorrow will be Justin's last day of school! And I only have 8 school days left...I can't wait. These past few months have been really hard. I guess I didn't realize how hard it would be to go back to work after having Luke. But it was literally the hardest thing I've had to do in a long time! I have always wanted to stay home with my kids and that is where my heart is. So, for the past couple of months my heart has been at home and not at work. I have enjoyed my time at Calvary and learned a lot, but I am ready to be at home with Luke! I am amazed at the women who can balance a full time job, kids, keeping the house clean, cooking dinner...and tons of other things! I don't think I was made to do all those things and have a full time job...ha!

We are also in the process of moving back into the seminary housing in Memphis. It's been hard on Justin to drive back and forth three days a week. He is also planning to get his Doctorate after he finishes his Masters next May, so it just makes sense to move back. We are excited! The apartments there are really nice...and they are actually bigger than the house we are in now, so I am really looking forward to that! Keep us in your prayers as we make this move next weekend and there are other things that are developing! We are looking forward to what God has in store for us. :)

Hello.

This is the Hecks' first blog. We would like to keep you updated on our lives. We have a new baby. His name is Luke. He's cute. His booty sticks up when he sleeps. It's precious.

More updates to come!

Bye!
