A Small Step Forward

About 2 weeks ago, I began seeing Dr. Evans at Stillwater Family Care.  Before my appointment I plead with Adam to go with me...stressing the importance of him being there.  We walked into the appointment armed with a typed/printed list of every symptom I have suffered over the past 6 years...and were fully prepared to hear the same explanations we have heard before.  To both of our surprise...Dr. Evans listened quietly then asked questions that no one had asked before.  He took my hand as I began to tear up (out of frustration over the past 6 years) and looked me in the eyes and said, "Its obvious SOMETHING is going on...and I am going to do everything I can to figure it out...so just hang in there."

I left that appointment with an order for blood work and an MRI of my brain.  For the first time, in SO long, Adam and I actually felt like we were on the road to being given answers.

After having 9 vials of blood drawn, and being injected with contrast for an MRI of my brain.  I got a phone call from Rachel, Dr. Evans nurse.  She let me know that my blood work only revealed an overactive thyroid, and to go ahead and KEEP my follow up appointment the following day.  I hung up just knowing that I again...was going to be brushed off....since obviously my lab work was pretty much saying that nothing was wrong.

When I went to my follow up appointment...I walked in...stepped on the scale...and to my surprise...had lost yet another 2lbs.  (NOT GOOD!!!)  My temperature was taken...and of course was normal (when I have been running a low grade fever almost constantly).  She took my blood pressure...again normal...and my blood oxygen (which was a little low...but I have been battling a cold).  When Dr. Evans came in...he quietly asked how I was feeling to which I replied..."Honestly...just as bad as I did before."  He pulled up a chair...and went over my labs with me...explaining the results in detail.  Then...asked more questions.  He suggested I go on thyroid medication and recheck everything in 1 month.  He also let me know that he doesn't think my thyroid is what is causing everything...and that we will get it figured out.  He is not ruling out auto-immune disorders or fibromyalgia.

I cannot express how blessed I feel right now.  Despite the fact that we don't have all the answers yet...atleast I have medical insurance and someone listening to me now!  I am truly blessed that we have ruled out most life threatening illness'.  God is good....All the time....even when I don't know how things could get any worse...he shows me a glimpse of his grace and mercy.

Searching for Answers

Anyone who knows me...knows I have been struggling with being chronically ill for the better part of the last six years.  I have flip flopped back and forth between having insurance, not having insurance, being able to pay cash, not being able to pay cash.  I have alternated between fleeting moments of feeling great...and feeling horrible the rest of the time.  Most importantly, I have struggled with the frustration of not being a "typical" young adult.  I have struggled with the frustration of seeing doctor after doctor...going over the list of chronic symptoms over and over...only to be told its a "virus" or "depression" without any tests being run... basically being brushed off.

Call me a hypochondriac, call me a "worrier", call me "unhealthy".  Whatever you choose to label me...I am 100% sure something is going on.  Noone should be 116lbs at 5'9" without even trying.  Noone should lose clumps of their hair, noone should have massive bruises that show up without any "trauma".  Noone should have rashes that are spread across their entire chest and abdomen.  Noone should have chronic low-grade fevers, extreme fatigue, nausea, lack of appetite, bone/muscle pain, tremors.

Something is going on...and its starting to make me into a "worrier".  I am desperately searching for answers...but its hard when the people who have them...don't like being asked straight forward questions.  

The Cross

No matter how many times I hear this song...it brings tears to my eyes...and an automatic stirring in my heart.  Oh, how often I forget the pain...suffering...persecution...death that Christ endured so that I can live.  How often I forget that my life is but a fleeting moment in which I am to honor that sacrifice that he made.  

It is so easy for us to recognize a veterans sacrifice...(which we should!)...but so easy for us to go on about our daily lives without paying any attention to the amazing sacrifice of our Savior. 

Lord, remind me today to live in awe of your sacrifice...

Fall Family Fun!

This weekend was SO much fun...I just had to share it with all my blog world friends!

This weekend was the "infamous" Oklahoma State Homecoming!  Stillwater has an enormous amount of Homecoming Festivities...so Adam and I decided that with it being his LAST homecoming as a student...we would take part.  Of course, there was no way we had time, or the energy to take part in everything Stillwater had to offer this weekend...but we did hit a few things.  On Saturday morning we went to the Homecoming Parade.  All I have to say is...the girls were ENAMORED!  We met up with a couple of friends, Daphne & Mat (and their 2 kiddos Carson & Paityn) and also with our friend/neighbor Jendi and her daughter Nilukshi.  One of my friends, Lyndsee, is Mrs. Payne County and will be competing in the Mrs. Oklahoma pageant in January...so of course...my girls HAD to have a picture with her!  After the parade, Adam and I were fortunate enough to be able to attend the BIG game against Nebraska.  Adam's dad came down from Tulsa to give us a MUCH needed break!  The game was so much fun...even though we lost (which is an entirely different story).  THANKS JEFF!!!!

This morning we woke up and met up with Mat & Daphne and their kiddos again, and made a trek out to Perkins Grider Family Farm to go to the Pumpkin Patch.  We spent an hour or so enjoying the 4 acre maze...and came home with 6 Pumpkins!  Addy also just HAD to pet "John" the goat.  (Who by the way...was the CUTEST, SWEETEST thing EVER!).  After the Pumpkin Patch, Adam and I decided to take our girls to lunch at El Mexicano.  At this point...we were already 45 minutes past nap time...and had spent the entire morning wearing the girls out...so we didn't have a very leisurely lunch.  LOL!  Oh well....it was an awesome weekend!

Adam and I plan on making more family outings over the course of our last 7 months here in Oklahoma.  We definitely want the girls to participate in as much fun stuff as Oklahoma has to offer before we move.  Today, I must admit that it hit me that in 7 short months...we won't live here anymore!  This tiny little town has a place in my heart...as it is where I met my husband...and gave birth to my 2 girls!  I am sure we haven't seen the last of Stillwater though!  Adam has family here...and alumni functions we will want to be a part of!!!

A Little Elaboration

Okay...So I have always loved journaling...but I must admit...for some reason I am soooooo much better at putting pen to paper than I am keeping up with my blog.  Ask anyone who knows me.  I can sit and write page upon page.  I can pour out my heart with pen and paper...so why do I have a problem doing the same here?  Maybe its the fear that putting it out there means the WHOLE world can see?  Who knows...but regardless...I do have people in far away places (like...Tucson!) who read this blog...and love seeing what is going on in our families life.  So as a result...brace yourself...this is going to be one heck of a blog!  :)

Our life is about to begin!  I say that...in all honesty...I know it began a LONG time ago.  But...all of our hard work, stress, sleepless nights, lack of finances, etc...are truly about to pay off.  Adam will be a college graduate in May!  It is sort of bittersweet.  Adam and I are moving away from where we have been the ENTIRE time we have known each other.  We will be leaving friends, family, a small town...to move on to a BIG city, no friends, but my family WILL be there.  Adam and I are almost 100% sure we will end up in San Antonio.  In fact...we have even toyed with the idea of moving there regardless of whether or not he immediately lands a job in his degree field.  San Antonio has so much to offer our little family.  Adam and I have been longing to make changes in our lives for quite sometime.  It is hard however, to make those changes...when you have already made a name for yourself in an EXTREMELY small town.  So...although the move will come with much excitement...it also comes with fear and anxiety! 

I have been learning A LOT lately to "Let go and Let God".  I have been forced down on my knees on more than one occasion...and it hasn't been pretty.  I have found myself uttering prayer after prayer...begging for guidance, wisdom, peace, rest.  In the past...I have been guilty of praying one time...and then giving up.  I have been guilty of uttering those meaningless prayers, "alright God...I need this...so....".  I would get SO frustrated when I got no answers...no wisdom, peace or rest.  All of a sudden it was like a light went on upstairs.  I don't TELL my husband to do something...I ask.  I don't non-chalantly share the contents of my heart with my husband...I pour them out.  Why would I not do the same with my Creator???  When that revelation came...it was like the floodgates opened.  I found myself praying like crazy during any free moment I got...many times...pouring my heart out over the dirty dishes.  Too many times I salted our dinner with my tears I am sure!!!  :)  Suddenly...answers began to come...not in the form of "DO THIS"...but more in the matter of guidance...opening doors....peace.  Suddenly...my desire to control (although it is still there...so don't get too excited!!!) has lessened.  I have found myself really turning everything over to God...and for the FIRST time in a VERY long time...I have found an immense PEACE.  

My life was centered around so many things I am not proud of...and for the first time in my life...I wake up in the morning free of guilt.  That in and of itself is the biggest gift I have ever received.  I can look in the mirror...and actually smile...because instead of seeing this intensely ugly human being...I see what God intended for me to see.  

I say all this to give you an idea of how God's direction is really playing a huge role in our families lives.  I have always been the leader in our relationship.  Adam wants to be the head of our household...and I admit...I tried...at one point...and he quickly decided it wasn't for him.  However, being the control-freak I am...I refused to give it back.  I am learning to allow my husband to be the leader in our home.  I am learning to be the wife who is quiet...who doesn't feel the need to say everything that pops into her head.  I stress the word "learning".  Rome wasn't built in a day people... :)

Over the course of the next year...I am sure that the Lord is going to continue to break off this shell I have cocooned myself into.  For the first time...I am actually excited to be broken....

"The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places.  "Ernest Hemingway

WOW!

So we recently were shocked to find out that rather than Adam graduating in December of 2011...it actually turns out he will be graduating this upcoming May!  OMG!  A whole 7 months earlier than what we originally thought!

I can't believe that in 7 short months...we will be on our way to the next chapter of our lives!  I am so incredibly excited...and nervous its unreal!!!!

Random Ramblings

Major changes have occurred...yet again! 

One week ago, I quit my job.  There were many reasons behind it...and anyone who knows me really well doesn't need me to go into the details...but suffice it to say...BEST DECISION EVER!  The plan is for me to continue to stay home with the girls.  THANK THE LORD!  The cost of childcare alone would have eaten up my entire paycheck...and honestly?  I am NOT happy in the workplace at this particular point in my life!  I have responsibilities here at home to my husband and children....so at home is where I will be for the unforseen future.

This weekend Adam and I packed up the girls and headed off to Tulsa.  It was a much needed weekend away.  Friday evening, Adam and I were able to have a nice dinner at Fuji's and then we went over to our friends new condo for a little while.  Saturday,  Adam jetted off to play a day of discgolf with his friends and I loaded up my sister in law for a day of pedicures, shopping, and a movie.  That evening we went out with Andy and Ruth to the Looney Bin to see Kevin Bozeman.  WHO by the way...was absolutely HILARIOUS!
The girls spent the entire weekend laying around with grandpa...which was by far the highlight of his week I am sure!  :)

I have been quite the little deep thinker lately.  I am not sure if Adam knows what to make of it...but I think I am at a point in my life where I am learning even more about myself and what I value, think, etc.  Its kind of refreshing to realize things...even if those realizations can hurt sometimes!

Annslie is 7 months old.  Where has the time gone?  I swear it was just yesterday I was holding her for the first time!  She is crawling, pulling up, and even climbed 3 stairs at Adam's dads house this weekend.  I am sure before I know it she will be walking...so I guess its time to double check all the outlets!  Hehe.  

 Addyson is changing so much.  She is losing the "baby" look and really starting to look like a big girl.  She is constantly surprising Adam and I with the things she says.  She is SO curious!  She is constantly asking questions about EVERYTHING!  It is hard for me to believe that this time next year...she will be in Pre-K!  Where has the time gone?  I remember being pregnant with her!  She is REALLY into dressing up right now...and then asks me to take pictures of her after she has found an outfit to wear.  Sometimes I have to raise the eyebrow when she puts some stuff on...but I secretly I am super thrilled at how independent she is!

 Adam begins his first of the last 3 semesters of college.  We finally see a light at the end of the tunnell!  Neither one us knows exactly what is in store for our life after college...its a little scary to be honest.  However, we are soooo ready to embark on the next leg of our journey together.  We are stronger than ever as a couple.  The Lord has been really teaching me alot about myself...and as a result...has been really teaching me about being a wife!  Adam has been absolutely fabulous...he was on top of things as much as he could be while I was working...AND he took 6 hours of classes this summer!  He ended up with an A and a B in his classes, all while watching the kids, cleaning the house, cooking, etc.  I have had to learn to relinquish control though...which has NOT been easy AT ALL!  :)

Thats about all thats going on in the Jones' family lately....I am sure that as the days, weeks, months go by I will have more to update everyone on...but for right now...its time to get ready for yet another semester of school!  :)

Entirely Too Long!

Its been entirely too long since I updated....and so much has happened to update everyone on!

After a lot of thought, prayer, decisions, mind changes....etc.  Adam and I finally made the decision that I will need to return to work for the remainder of his college career.  I hate the thought of putting my baby girls in daycare.  I firmly believe that it is my duty to care for and raise our children....and I hate the thought that someone else will be doing the bulk of it for me.  However, ultimately...our children have needs that need to be met...and at this time....I am the one who is going to have to become the main breadwinner.  It will be a difficult transition for me.  Not seeing my precious girls all day long is definitely going to be hard for me. 

Adam is finally closing in on graduation....the light is at the end of the tunnel!  I cannot believe in just 3 semesters my hubby will be a college graduate.  I am super excited to see where the Lord takes us when he graduates. 

God has been really laying on my heart the need for change in my life.  As a young girl who was raised in a Godly home...I find myself craving that for my children.  I want my girls, in this crazy/sinful world to know the Lord.  I want them to experience the peace that only he can give.  However, in order to do that for my children....I need to make the step back towards church.  I need to set aside my hang ups and get back to my roots.  Please pray for me...God could not have made it more clear that it is time.

Addyson is going to be three next month!  SOOOOOO hard to believe that she is no longer a baby!  It feels like just yesterday I felt her kick for the first time....like just yesterday I was bringing her home from the hospital.  She is growing up so quickly...and I find myself...in the midst of the craziness that being 3 brings...staring at her in awe...

Annslie is going to be 5 months on Sunday!  OMG...My little chub has quite the personality!  She is such a happy baby...rarely cries and is always smiling!  She is currently in her swing...snoozing away!  After having one child who wakes up between 530-630 every morning...it is quite the surprise that we have a sleeper on our hands!  Annslie would sleep all day if I let her!  :)

All in all the Jones Family is doing great....things are kicking into high gear around here...and life is getting a little crazy...but we are enjoying it!

Time is Flying!

Its hard for me to believe that next week Annslie will be 4 months old!  It seems like just yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital! 

Addyson is becoming quite the little smarty pants!  She is sooooo sassy.  I swear sometimes I look at her and wonder when she turned 13! 

Here are some pics for everyone! 

Becoming a Big Girl!

Anyone who has had the privilege of meeting my "almost" 3 year old knows she is probably JUST as stubborn as her mommy and daddy. This has posed somewhat of a problem when trying to teach her how to do things like a "big girl." Actually, I take that back. She has brushed her teeth like a big girl (on her own), washes her hair like a "big girl" (with help), and sits at the table and eats politely (most of the time)! However, one area that we have been having difficulty with is the dreaded potty training.

I must admit...I went into the whole potty training thing thinking that it would be a breeze. I mean...girls are supposedly easier than boys to train. Boy...I was WRONG! When Addy was about 18 months old she started showing some signs that she was ready. She hated being in a wet or dirty diaper, was very interested in the "big girl potty", and would normally tell me before she needed to go #2. So...off I went to the store to buy panties, pullups, and a fancy potty chair.

Flash forward almost a year and a half. I am still buying diapers...for 2! We were planning on revisiting the potty training while I was pregnant with Annslie. However, with me being on bedrest and the fact that studies show that most children regress when a new baby enters the family...we decided to wait. In all honesty I was sooooo tired of trying to "convince" my little girl that going potty was "sooooo cool!". I finally decided..."Enough is enough...eventually she will get tired of wearing the diaper...and I will just encourage her without making too big of a fuss."

Well, that must have been what it took! Once I finally backed off...and she saw that her baby sister ALSO used diapers...she finally took an interest in that cute pink princess potty that plays dramatic music everytime something lands in it!

I am not going to get too excited...but I DID buy her some cool "BIG GIRL" princess potty wipes. And...today I am going to go pick up some big girl panties (since obviously she has outgrown the ones I originally bought). We shall see...but heres hoping shes potty trained by 3...otherwise...mommy might have a meltdown! HAHA

Miss Annslie is 2 Months Old!

Well...time sure does fly....Annslie Faith is 2 months old! She is officially "talking" to mommy and daddy, rolling from her tummy to her back, and pushing herself forward with her legs! Addyson finally realized that the baby wasn't going anywhere...and she has become SUCH a helpful big sister! :) Her and Annslie sit there and talk in the morning...and its so cute to watch! LOVE IT!

Kids Say The Darnest Things...So I am Learning to Watch My Mouth!

When a child learns to speak...many times you hear some HILARIOUS things...and many a time you hear something that makes you cringe...because you know that the only place they could have heard such a thing is coming from their parents mouths....

I must admit...some of the words that come from my mouth really have NO use in the English language. I could put some sailors to shame when I am angry...and since having Addyson...Adam has had to constantly remind me to watch my mouth. (I say this with quite a bit of embarrassment). Well...nothing will catch your attention quite like hearing your 2 1/2 year old daughter repeat some of those "choice" words. Its sort of hard to explain to your little girl that she can't say those things...and that mommy shouldn't be saying them either!

Then again...some times you can't help but roll on the floor laughing at the things that come out of your kids mouth! Here is a couple examples just heard in the past couple days.

• "Cow eats our money when we buy milk" (lol...she knows milk comes from cows...and I told her the other day that milk is getting really expensive)

• Me: "Are you a baby?" Addyson: "No!" Me: "Are you a big girl?" Addyson: "No, I am a kid!"

• Me: "Addy...lets go clean your room, I will help you." Addyson: "No, you can do it."

Even as I sit here and type this I am giggling pretty hard....I swear she is growing up right before our eyes...and it makes us sad. She recently counted to 10 all on her own...and today she had 6 pennies, put 3 on the table and looked at me and said, "I have 3 more pennies" Without even looking down at what she had! Adam and I are in BIG trouble with this one!

Love,

Adam, Rachel, Addyson & Annslie

The Responsibility of Being a Parent

When I was pregnant with Addyson, I was under no grand illusions that being a parent was all fun and games. I knew that with the birth of my baby came GREAT responsibility. I had a human life that I was now responsible for. Her emotional and physical well being were now of utmost priority. I think so many people become parents and believe that all they are required to do is feed and love this child. It wasn't until recently that I began to realize the FULL extent of the responsibilities of being a parent.

When H1N1 first made its appearance, I laughed about how the media likes to scare Americans. After all...it wasn't in the US...why should we really care? We weren't planning any trips to any foreign countries (although I wish we were!)...so we were safe. However, as time progressed...and the instances of H1N1 became greater and greater....I began to wonder...SHOULD I VACCINATE MY DAUGHTER?! It was something Adam and I struggled with...going back and forth between yes and no. We researched, we asked our pediatrician, we went over all the what ifs...and ultimately...we decided against getting her vaccinated. Adam and I try to not pump a ton of unnatural substances into our little girls bodies...so we definitely weren't going to risk her health with a vaccination that had been rushed to market. To this day I don't regret my decision.

However, Adam and I have just multiplied our responsibilities by 2! Annslie is due for her 2 month shots very soon...and after reading some studies...I am beginning to wonder if I should vaccinate her according to the recommended schedule. We struggled with these same decisions when Addyson was a baby...and ultimately chose to vaccinate her. Why in the world do I have qualms again? I mean...my 2 1/2 year old is happy, healthy, well adjusted...so why would I have any reason to believe it could go any differently this time?

I guess ultimately it has something to do with the fact that these are my precious babies...I worry about their future...even though they are only 2 1/2 and 8 weeks. I wonder if the things we give them now will cause harm later. Ultimately...I will be held accountable for what happens to them. They don't get to make this decision for themselves (as I am sure if Addy had a say she would say NO WAY MOMMA!)...and thats a huge responsibility to take!

The only comfort I can take is that the Lord knows what is best for my children...and all I can do is pray for the answers. Its so funny that as a parent you sometimes really AREN'T in control of them...but rather God should be! Yet another life lesson for myself in parenting!

Love,
Adam, Rachel, Addyson & Annslie

Breaking the Habit

I must admit...I have some horrible habits. I bite my finger nails, I sometimes leave my dirty socks in the middle of the bathroom floor, etc. However, the one habit that I have decided I am going to break is my unhealthy lifestyle. You see...I am a smoker and a VERY unhealthy eater! I have been working on the healthy eating...and have definitely noticed a difference in my energy level and over all feeling. I normally get sick VERY easily...and have a hard time not moving from one illness to the next. In the past 8 weeks...aside from feeling exhausted...I have felt better than ever...and I am guessing that has something to do with my decision to begin to eat healthy.

I am about to begin the "quitting smoking" process. For those of you who have never been smokers...let me tell you...there is definitely a PROCESS! There are relapses...withdrawals...etc. I have attempted at quitting many times in my life...without much success. Smoking is my one "stress relievers". I am approaching this with MUCH fear...smoking is almost like a security blanket for me. HOWEVER...I have found something that keeps my hands busy...and relieves a ton of stress...making hairbows for my girls!

I am excited and nervous. I want to get healthy for my girls. I want to be the best mom both inside and out that I can be for them. I am starting on a journey to overall health...physical, spiritual and mental. :) Come along for the ride!

Pictures of Annslie Faith!

Trust me...I have lots of pictures of the labor process...and some of the immediately after delivery. Although...I am not a big fan of the pictures of the labor (I do NOT look happy! No epidural=ugly mama!) I actually like the pictures that immediately followed her birth. However, I have been informed by















a few people on facebook that they thought my post birth pictures were "inappropriate". Not really sure WHY...because I am covered and there is nothing indecent about them. However, I am choosing to not post those pictures here...and just post pics of Miss Annslie!

Hope you all enjoy them! We have since LOST our camera...so I am most likely going to be a bit behind.

Annslie Faith Jones is Here!

Well, once again I have let this slide, but with VERY good reason!

Annslie Faith arrived on January 6, 2010 at 10:24 am. She weighed 6lbs 7.7 oz and was 18 in long. All in all the labor was very quick. I was admitted to the labor and delivery ward at 5:30 am and had her about 5 hours later. In all actuality, I was in labor the entire evening before. Starting in around 11pm. Adam jokes that he feels bad, because we timed my contractions at around 11, and they were only 5-6 minutes apart. So I told him to go to bed...it was probably another "false alarm". By around 2am they were becoming very intense, and at 4:45 when I timed them they were every 1-2 minutes. So...to the hospital we went.

They really aren't joking that you will know when its real labor! Having now experienced that...I won't have any questions in the future!

Even with all the false alarms that we had (there was one on the 4th of January too!) we were surprised that she actually came as early as she did. She was about 3 weeks early. However, she was very healthy...and we only stayed in the hospital overnight and then came on home.

My mom flew in on the 12th and was able to spend 2 weeks with us! It was really nice having her here...and I am sad she had to leave. Unfortunately she didn't make it in time for the birth...but she was a BIG help while she was here. It would be an understatement to say she was in heaven holding a newborn all day! LOL

Addyson is adjusting fairly well to being a big sister. She is quite jealous of Annslie when Daddy is holding her...but other than that...doing pretty well. She is definitely pushing some boundaries, but we expected that would probably happen!

All in all the family is doing GREAT! Its hard to believe that we are the parents of 2 little girls....and sometimes we just look at each other and ask, "can you believe we have 2 now?" Its been an adjustment...but we are looking forward to what this next phase will bring. Now...if I can only convince my husband that we need one more! LOL

2010 Is Here!

Well...its time for an update! I had a doctors appointment on Wednesday and I am happy to announce that Annslie Faith Jones will be joining our family sometime in the next week and a half! I don't have the exact induction date (Will be getting that on the 6th) but it looks like sometime the week of the 11th!

What a blessing it is! My doctor decided that my evident misery is not good for either of us, and instead of inducing me at 39 weeks...he plans on inducing at 38. Not only am I SO happy to see an end in sight, but it also works out wonderfully for my mom. There was a small chance that I would (and still could) deliver before she was able to make it up here. Also, she really needed to get back to San Antonio a few days before the 1st of February to prepare for her new job. This way she can spend a bit more time with us! Also, Adam starts classes on the 11th...and originally, my induction date was going to be after he had already been in class for a week. Luckily, the first week of classes are really about getting acquainted with the professor, etc., and so therefore missing classes is not a huge deal.

As much as I whine and complain about the perils of pregnancy...I still feel SO blessed to be gifted another beautiful baby. It truly is just that...a gift. Although being a parent is NO cake walk...I learn on a daily basis from my child. The main thing I am being taught is patience...which will no doubt be tried when I have 2 children under the age of 3! :)

I hope this New Year brings nothing but abundant blessings to each and every one of you. I know the Jones family cannot wait to see what is in store!

I will update more later when I find out more details...but I just wanted to share the amazing news with anyone who actually reads this! I think I actually do this more for my benefit! LOL!
