Karsyn Stanley


"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart."
Jeremiah 1:5

That "you" is ME. He knew me before he formed me in the womb, just like he knows Karsyn now. Wow! And not only did he know me, he called me and set me apart. Wow again! I pray that he calls Karsyn to himself, just like he has called her mommy and daddy. I pray that in our home we would create an environment that glorifies God and that we would allow God to do the work. I am awestruck that God has called us to come along side him with what he is already doing in her precious life. 

Only 5.5 weeks left until Karsyn's due date.... Yikes! We are so ready to meet her, but feel like we have so much left to do to prepare for her arrival. I want it to go fast, but slow all at the same time. I became really uncomfortable about a week ago, especially while sleeping. Only sleeping 3 or 4 hours at a time.... I know this will continue for the next several months. And oh what a blessing no sleep is -- this means Karsyn is soon to make her appearance!

In March, I was in Dondi's wedding, a best friend from high school. I have so many good memories with Dondi and the red blazer! We popped all 4 tires on her blazer in only a few hours, riding 4-wheelers, 6 flags trip, playing cops and robbers -- life was fun and easy! I was 6 months pregnant so wearing heels and fitting into my dress was definitely a challenge. But I am so thankful that Dondi allowed me to be apart of her big day! 



On May 5th, Presley celebrated his 5th birthday! He has been my "baby" for so long! It will be a dramatic change for him once baby Karsyn arrives. 

We had maternity pictures taken by Kensie Lee Photography. I would recommend her to anyone that has big life event! Here is a preview of some pics:
