Hello everyone, wow it has been awhile...sorry life is just busy but great. We are loving this time of year. We had a great Halloween Party which I have only been wanting to have since we were married. We had about 20 friends and all the kiddos. It was a little crazy at times. At one point I just stopped and looked around. The noice level was insane and all of the kids were either screaming, laughing, or crying. I just thought to myself, man life has changed so much over the last two years...but I wouldn't miss this for the world. Stella is just so much fun now, she is vocal, recognizes people and friends. She laughs and plays with Toby and I. We have a very observant child. Stella doesn't miss a thing to me moving around decorations in the house to my dangling earrings that I put on during her nap. I am so in love with her that my heart is just over flowing. Toby and I are doing great...marriage is wonderful with us continuing to learn how to communicate better and serve each other more. I have been really trying to be a wife that the Lord wants me to be. It is hard because of my selfish nature but I want to please him in my actions. Toby has been working so hard driving across the metroplex daily to provide for us...this is usually the time he starts to not like his job but he is still going strong. Please pray for the both of us, WE ARE GETTING OLD...Toby's back is hurt with the MRI showing a buldging disc and pinched nerve and I am stuck in a boot for my lower leg having tendonitis and slight stress fracture. I have been ignoring my leg pain thinking it was just chin-splints over the past four months but your body will let you know when it has had to much. I am still being strong working out...which suprisingly I am starting to enjoy...crazy I know. My girlfriend and I are starting at the gym at 5:30am and work out on the bike and she is on the treadmill. Then we lift weights, man I am so weak in my upper body. You would think carrying a baby would do the trick. I am so glad I will be stronger by the time she is one. Just a few more months and our precious little baby wont be a baby any longer. Feb 11th is just around the corner and Stella will turn one. Life isn't always perfect but we are trying daily to get through the bumps in the road. My brother is coming home soon for the holidays and I can't wait to show off Stella. We miss him but he is proudly serving our country in the ARMY. Please pray for his safety and protection, especially during this curtain time. We hope everyone that reads this is well and healthy. We miss you so much....JT, KT, ST, and ST. Can't wait to see you guys. Love, The Zachary's
