Merry Christmast Everyone

So how was every ones Christmas? Well ours at the Isbell home was wonderful and full of great surprises!!! Let's see................ We woke up and found out that we are expecting our second little one!!!!! Now I don't know about you but it cant get any better than that. So this led to us thinking up some fun ways of telling out loved ones and so let's see....................... We told Adrian's parents while we were all opening up presents and they were very exited and surprised!!! and then it was to my parents and for them we wrapped the two test that I took and gave them to Mom and at first she did not know what she was looking but boy when she did figure it out it was Awesome her face was priceless and then my Dad realized what was going on I think I even saw some tears!!! my Bro and Sis were really happy I mean they probably think ............. OHH NOOOOO another Brodie to mess with our stuff !!!!!!!!!!!! they are great with Brodie so I know they are looking forward to this baby I don't really care if its a boy or girl I just know that God has blessed us with another Baby and I know that with what happened with our last Baby and how it was called to heaven really quickly but I know that that baby is now in heaven and its OK I know that right now I would be about five months along and would know what we were having and you know making all the plans that you make with a baby's arrival but God knew what he was doing and even though I may never understand it all I know I would not be sharing this wonderful news with you guys.... help us pray for a healthy pregnancy and that all goes well. So tell me guys how was yours? Brodie got a lot of stuff of course balls, toy four wheeler you know the remote controlled ones anyway lots and lots of stuff.. On a sadder note our dear and close friend Bill Starcke passed away on Wednesday the 24Th of Dec due to a massive heart attack so please keep him in your prayers he was 68 years of age. Keep his wife Liz in your prayers some of you have met her at some time she is heart broken and needs a lot of prayers. I hope you all are doing wonderful and may God Bless you all. Lots of Love from the Isbells

I love my Brodie!!!!!

well this post is for my Brodie and him only. The older he gets the more I laugh I mean when he wants something he will start his rant .......... mush , mush , mush mama......... I don't know what it means but I know that to him it simply means more, more, more mama you see he has been hanging out with my friends 10 kids ................. um yes I said 10........... anyway her kids have apparently seen a movie and there's a kid or someone that says that and Brodie now thinks that when he wants something given to him whether its food or a toy he has to say mush mush please. I have learned that I don't have any quiet time unless he is sleeping because he either wants for me to play with him, read to him or watch a video and if it happens to be the one with all the animals on it I have to answer one hundred questions of ....... what that mama? even though he knows I guess he just wants to make sure that their given specie names have not changed since the last time he watched it the first 3 times that day. Ummmmmm yeah I don't really limit the time the video is on because well he does not really sit and watch it all the time and a lot of it is alot of music so its almost like having a CD on anyway I guess to some I would be considered a bad mom but HEY!!!! don't we all do things like this ................ hope so hehehe anyway , I have started reading him books with alot of picture books you know the ones that teach them words and what the color and shape anyway he has really picked up on those really fast now he will tell me what the name of the animal is, well he does sometimes want to play 20 questions but anyway I love every day of it all I am soooooooooo blessed to have Brodie as my son. God was sure showing off when he created him, one look at him and it brings a smile to you and when he knows I am upset he will hug me and tell me........ OK mommy, OK luv you mommy.......... yeah how can I think of what ever made me sad when I have a wonderful little boy telling my those words? well that is all for now I hope you enjoy this blog as much as I enjoy sharing this moments with you I know sometimes they are boring and sometimes funny but every moment around my home is a blessed moment for God has been good to me.

just saying hello!

Hello everybody! I have very little time to write but just wated to write something small so lets see........... something small. have a great day those who read this and Happy Thanksgiving. Ok now I have to do hausework............ fun!

I am now a U.S Citizen!!

As of Monday, November 17, 2008 I am a U.S citizen. It has been a long road to this day but with Gods help it has happened.

My appointment was for 8:25 am we did not have to wait very long (thank God ) I was very nervous because any little thing could prevent the next step, anyway

when I got called back I was put under oath and then the questions started to fly, from where I was born to where I lived now if I was working and how many children I had oh yeah and if I was still married to the same guy, then I did the reading test ( I work too much.) yeah it was that simple. Then the writing test ( I drink too muck coffee. ) and the history questions.

1.) How many branches are there in our Gov.?

2.) Who selects congress?

3.) Who signs bills into laws?

4.) What colors are there in the U.S flag?

I passed with all right!

I know that to some its not really a big deal but to someone from another country it is one of the biggest events to happen in our lifetime. I am Blessed and Proud to finally call myself a U.S Citizen! Thanks to all of my dear friends for the prayers and words of encouragement. With much love to you all.

Adrian and I had a lot of fun. My parents kept Brodie for us so we could go and not have to worry about him behaving in the office, he had alot of fun with my parents and bro and sis I did miss him but I was not at all worried about his well being.

well thats all for now.
Jeny

Adrian got the JOB!!!!!!!

Yes, He got the job!
We got the call on Wednesday!!! We are so happy right now that sometimes I have to pinch myself . We will miss Babe but I am very happy that he will be going back to work after 6 1/2 months at home . Thanks to all of our friends for the prayers and words of encouragement we love you all!

The Interview Went Well!

Well the interview went really good on Friday, sorry I'm just now posting it's been a crazy weekend, anyway. Adrian feels really good about both meetings and we hope to get a call soon.
The lady he was really worried about meeting actually was really nice. He also had to go in and sign some papers so they could do a background check on him so I think we should hear something soon, well I hope. Anyway did I mention on any previous post that I will be going to Atlanta on Monday the 17th for my citizenship interview? well yes I do so keep me in your prayers please I know God will help me through. Oh yeah I will post some of the questions I am having to study so you can test your self on American History. Boy I sure wish I had paid more attention in school, its not that hard, just 100 questions. I hope you all are doing well. We went to the zoo today and it was a lot of fun we went with our friend Julie and her ten Hooligans, yes I said ten, we rode the train and Brodie loved it I wish I had been able to take some pics but I did not have my camera and my phone takes horrible motions shots and with 11 hooligans that's all that was going to be taken. Brodie remembered the monkeys and asked to go and see them so Papa took him just the two of them, Adrian said the monkeys put on a little show for them and Brodie loved it ( I say a show, they were chasing each other in the cage) he is very easily amused just like his mama. Hope the next time I have good news and I hope it's soon until next time !

Third interview on Friday!!!

Adrian has his third interview for the Regions job on Friday!!!! yeah now we just have to pray that they post the job so they can go ahead and offer him the job I mean we all know that God can give him the job. Help us pray about this and I will keep you all posted on any news. HE is good all the time.

And the job hunt continues

Today Adrian went to the second interview on a job he was approached about a couple of weeks ago. This job, everyone would be a great job for Adrian. he mentioned to me about eight months ago or so as to how cool it would be to have this job and how much he would enjoy having it because he would be more in the background solving technicall issues and how he would be very good at it. We did not mention this job againd and shortly after, he was laid off from his current job. Job application after another and countless interviews and him calling people up still no job but about a month ago Bro. Marks prophesided to Adrian that it was done and the job was his and he would have favor, little did Bro. Marks know that Adrian was unemployed and was being turned down for every job he applied for. Well we shouted and claimed it and yes, kept looking for that one job then one day he gets a phone call from the lady who had the job he had mentioned in passing to me all those months past telling him that she was leaving and she had recomended him for the job and how he was going to be comtacted about The Job, weeks laters the job has still not posted but yes, Adrian has been to two interviews for The Job and waiting to hear as to when they want him to come in for the third interview, God has given him favor with the people he's met with so far and has been told that he would be the guy for The Job so now we are waiting for God to finish what he started months ago.
you see sometimes we loose the job that we have grown so confortable with, and we loose the very things that we've prayed for years for, but you see all these things happen to help us grow so maybe someday when someone is going through a similar situation we can be of some help to them. I dont know what the outcome will be but I'm claiming The Job because I know God's hand is on it all and if this is not The Job I know its out there and God will lead my Husband to it.
I can trully say I am blessed, this all has made me realise what matters the most. I love my family, I love my God, I love my friends................................... I love you too My Little Angel in Heaven
