About Jules

My name is Jules.
I have always loved to write. Even when I was a child I remember writing as a way of expressing myself.
I desire to help people who are hurting and want to live for something much bigger than myself and this typical (but blessed) American dream. I am learning and seeking what this looks like in my life.
I am a stay at home mom and I love it and would chose this life over and over again. But I do miss exploring the other dimensions of myself, when being a mom wasn't the number one hat I wore.
I love Jesus and am so in awe of His love for me. I hope my life can show even a bit of Him in me.

Our Big News!











So the news is out and we couldn't be more excited!! These pictures should explain it well. Please keep our baby in your prayers!! We are so excited and thankful to God!! Dave and I are going to be a mom and a dad!! so crazy but awesome!! Our due date is June 15th~!!

The first picture is when I first told Dave We were going to have a baby! Wow! What amazing news to get to tell your husband.... Well I actually found out on Friday morning before work but we were leaving that afternoon to go up to Big Bear with some friends. I knew I wanted to tell Dave in a special way so even though it was the hardest thing in the world, I waited until Monday evening to tell Dave that he was going to be a daddy.... SO Monday night I made him a nice romantic dinner. I then gave him a mushy card telling him all the things I love and appreciate about him and what a great dad he would be someday. I then gave him a gift. On the front of the gift was a card that read. "Every Good and Perfect Gift comes from the Lord." (at this point Dave said he started to wonder what was up). He then opened the gift which had a couple pairs of babies socks... blue and pink that said "I love my daddy" "Daddy's Little Princess" and then included the positive pregnancy test! It really was a great night! Dave was so surprised and excited!! Enjoy the photos.


The other photos are when we told my family. We had told my parents previously and they were so happy that they got to know before the rest of the family.. it was like our little secret for a couple weeks~! we were going to wait and tell them all together but I was too excited so we told them early, which was fun. but this is when we told the rest of my family. It was my brother in law, Todd's birthday party. I wrapped a gift with decorated onsies and had him open it as one of his birthday gifts.. The family was so surprised. It was super fun!


We told Dave's family at Carol's house when we were having lunch. It was so fun too!! We were praying before the lunch and I secretly put a bib on Carol's plate that said. " I love my grandma!" When she opened her eyes after the prayer she started screaming! It was too cool! Kirsten didn't know why she was screaming at first so then I gave Kristen her bib that said, "I love my auntie"

What a fun thing to share with the family~!
Love you all! Hope you are doing great.
