I can’t believe it! A boy! I had a strong feeling from day one that we would be having a boy but to find out for sure hit me like nothing else ever has. I have found myself on multiple occasions filled with joy to the point that I tear up simply at the thought of me having a son. What a feeling! Bec wrote in her blog that we have decided to name our son CARSON EVERETT HALL. She explained what each name meant but if you missed it, here it is again!

Carson’s inherent meaning is DILIGENT and the spiritual connotation is LOYAL. We recently found out that the Scripture passage for this name is from John 15:16:

“You did not choose Me, but I chose you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain.”

WOW!! What a sermon in and of itself. We have been chosen by God to bear fruit, the fruits of the Spirit. What a prayer for myself, my son, and everyone who reads this. Ever since I heard about that text in relation to my son’s name, I can’t stop thinking about it!

Carson’s middle name “Everett” carries just a strong meaning and thought. The inherent meaning is COURAGEOUS, while the the spiritual connotation is UNENDING PRAISE. The Scripture passage for this name is Psalm 96:1:

“Oh, sing to the Lord a new song! Sing to the Lord, all the earth!”

God has chosen us to be HIS. Our natural response should be praise. Unfortunately so many times, our flesh interrupts the praise.

In light of all this name business, this has been my prayer for Carson:
Oh, may your praise to God be unending. May you always look for that new song to sing; in the easy times, and in the hard times. That you might forever praise His name because He has chosen you to bear His fruit.

2008 already has a good chance of being the best year of my life. We started the year off with a bang! Seriously, we shot fireworks. If that wasn’t enough, we had a bonfire and threw the fireworks into the bonfire. It’s fun to guess where they will shoot off and thankfully no one got hurt.

I digress.

Here are some sweet things coming in 2008:
-much scooter riding with Will
-my 25th birthday
-Beans
-Launching of Olive Juice [more details to come]
-The birth of our child in Aug [more details to come]
-Our 2 year anniversary
-Becky’s 25th birthday
-[fill in the blank]

There will be more edits as events come and go.

tonight: poker

Merry Christmas!

Ok, a little late I admit! But you have to give me credit. This is the closest I have ever come to wishing someone a Merry Christmas other than in person. You see, I am not big on writing cards. I don’t know why, I think they are lovely. I would just rather tell someone in person for free. Becky doesn’t really understand it and that is fine with me. I will let her buy and write in cards all day long. For me, I would rather spend the $2 on 2 songs from itunes.

Man. It feels good to get that off my chest.
