turn and face the strange ch-ch-changes

so i'm new to the whole "blogger" world. i've had xanga for some time now, so it's not like i have no clue what is going on. but, for those who care, this will mostly just be about the jeck family life...ok, mostly mine, but tony and jonah won't be totally excluded. tony thinks blogging is pretty ridiculous. so i'm sure he's thrilled that i'm starting a new one! ha! i guess it's the whole writing-out-all-your-thoughts-and-dreams-for-the-whole-world-to-see part that really gets him. plus i think it can be a place for people to "puff themselves up". but, hopefully i won't be any poofier when i'm done. :) let me know if i start tooting my own horn. man...i'm starting to sound like lori with all my cute little sayings. however, i think, unlike her, i got most of them right.

on to the good stuff. tony and i interviewed at a church last weekend. it went really well. we like the people and the little town a lot. just waiting now. waiting to see if we get a huge epiphany or something like that. i knew this would be a weird, difficult thing but i never realized just how right that was until now. i know God doesn't necessarily have this set place God wants us to be, but i still think God cares about where we end up. so, we're praying and waiting and waiting and praying.

jonah is growing like a weed (props again to lori). he is only days away from crawling. he can get where he wants to go now just by rolling/scooting/belly flopping, etc. time to start "baby-proofing". but seriously, babies have gotten along just fine for centuries without all the corner protectors, spring latch cabinets, and fences. what they tell you to do in the books is a little much if you ask me. now don't worry, we are taking precautions. you won't read about jonah being electrocuted or anything. we had to move his mattress down the other day because he can pull up on the side now. it's just so hard to believe he's already 8 months old. i want him to crawl, but i don't...i just want him to stay my little baby forever.

"ra ra ra"

we (and by "we" i mean "i") take tons of pictures...i heard that syndi...so i'll be posting them often for your viewing enjoyment and mostly just to show off the cutest, sweetest little boy ever! hey, that's not puffing me up, just jonah! i'm allowed to do that, right?
