New House! New Job! New State!

New House! New Job! New State!

We moved!! It’s been a crazy several weeks for us, but we are finally settling into our new place!

Derick was recently sworn in as an attorney in Little Rock, AR and then started the transfer process for his new public service job as a prosecutor in Oklahoma!

In between all of that, we bought a home on the Arkansas/Oklahoma border (in Siloam Springs), had a few renovations done and then moved in! We’ve been settling in the last couple of weeks and trying to get all the things in order before our baby boy (still no name yet!) is set to arrive next month!

We appreciate all the prayers during this crazy and exciting season of transition!

See below for some pictures from the last few weeks.

    Your new home looks beauty and you and your family look very happy. Stay true to yourself and the principles you and your husband set for your family. I’ve loved watching you grow into the amazing young woman you have become.

    Welcome to Stilwell, Derrick! My family has lived here for generations. There are many very sweet, Christian people here and there are some who are not. Sadly, your job will lead you to meeting them. I know you won’t hold that against the rest of us. LOL I have followed y’all for years and enjoy watching your youtube channel. The home remodel looks amazing. Hope to see more later.

      You make it sound as if it’s “sad” to meet someone who is not Christian.

      love your kitchen remodel. the white cabinets really update the space. I think though getting rid if the pops of colour was a mistake. the colour really warmed up the rooms and added some personality. congratulations to Derek on the attorney job. congratulations on the Baby Jill. he is so adorable. Blessing to your family.

    Beautiful! Hope to see updates on your YouTube and possibly a new Q & A? But that’s ok, it can wait until your new baby is born. I’m sure there’s a lot of work to settle in, find your medical team to help deliver him, find a church, school, and get to know your neighbors. God’s gonna use you there in mighty ways.

    Congratulations on the new job and move! If Derick is ever inclined to look, New Mexico could use a prosecutor with morals and ethics. New Mexico could use a whole lot of God fearing folks and conservatives in this state.
