Life Together

Well I guess I will begin by letting you know where we are now even though I know God is not finished with us yet and His story in us will continue to be written. (and for anyone else reading this blog you will know a little about us.)
Your Dad and I are 25 years old and you were given to us just 2.5 short months ago. You have continued to bring us a new joy in the Lord and we are so in love with you! 
We have a yellow lab named Gracie, who you will learn has a story of her own to tell, and she is feeling a bit replaced. Don't worry though we are giving her extra attention and I know she will be your best friend in the years to come! She's always been there for me and I know she will be there for you! Watch Marley and Me and you will see Gracie in Marleys eyes.

Your Dad runs a successful business called David Downey Homes, LLC and he stays very busy with his work. His brother Chad works for him and they have several other workers who work with them from time to time. Your Dad sure loves you and many people say he is happier now than he has ever been before! He lights up around you.
If I had to describe your Dad in one word, I would say faith. He is full of it. If you ask him about His faith, he'll share it. He believes in and acts on His faith in the Lord. He's the best man I know and you have a great Daddy! I cannot wait to tell you about His faith and where it has taken us and more than that, I cannot wait for you to see it in action!
As for me, I too love you with all my heart and when you left my womb, you took part of My heart with you! I stay home and take care of you and I have to say , it's my favorite job Ive ever had. I am truly so happy, joyful, and content and just living each day expecting God to show up in a big way! I love your Dad and he is God's gift of grace to me!

You, sweet Abigail, have started smiling now and I can see the joy in your heart already exploding! Our prayer for you is you never loose the joy and contentment you have at this very early age!
There's our life now and we are just enjoying every minute! I can honestly say this is the happiest time we have had together. But now in the blogs to come I am going to back track and share with you some much more difficult and trying times in our lives. Some of these stories are your Dad's but he isn't much for writing, so I am going to write them for him. They'll be his words and his experiences just written down by me! Learn from us and the one thing I want you to see the most is what faith in the Lord can do for you!
Again I say, precious Abigail, Enjoy our journey!
