It has been a long time and a long journey

It truly has been a long time since the last time i have blogged and i am truly sorry. I made a blog for the purpose of keeping family and friends up to date with our happening...

Well a brief catchup before i go and start dinner.

We love it here. The people are super nice and the place is gorgeous. I will admit though i did not get what i thought i was getting.. as in meeting people who are in the same boat as us as far as being really young, married, and having children. I think we are the youngest here in seminary. But its okay because it is a culture shock for sure, and we have become close to our church friends which is nice. Trey has taken the job at Boyer Chapel as the pastor there in September so we have been enjoying our time there. They are lovely. He also just finished his first semester here at Asbury yesterday. As for Liam and I, we have just been getting ready for the holiday season. Singing songs and decorating and baking and so forth... Liam is a big fellow, hes 6 months now and is 23 pounds and 28 inches long. He has two bottom teeth too. He has quite the personality. Loves to laugh and play with his favorite toy Eli the Elephant. He just started drinking apple juice and eating little snacks like cheerios. He is sitting up by himself too. We have the Christmas play coming up on Sunday at Church and Trey and I are playing Joseph and Mary. We are going Saturday to practice and then out to see some Christmas lights at the horse park.. As far as the holidays go.. We are going to Tennessee to spend Christmas with Babs and Pops. We'll be traveling back home on Christmas day for Church on that following Sunday and then are picking my parents up at the Cincinnati airport .. in which we are really excited!!!.. We are also excited about getting moved into our new apartment when its done sometime next monthwhich is what we were told... But that is all that is really going on right now.

Going to get dinner started.. look for my year 2010 Brennan happenings blog in the up coming days..

Love you all and hope your having a wonderful holiday season keeping Christ in your hearts.

Blessing- The Brennan's<3

Week One...Wlmore... The Begining of Our Begining!

Oh man, where to start? LOVEEEEEEEEEE IT HERE! Wilmore is gorgeous. This is deffinatly a wonderful place to start a family. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly! I can see us being here for a long time its just so cute and quaint i just dont want to be anywhere else.. maybe in the future i ll change my mind but... for now this is it! I guess it is a good thing that i like it so much since i am actually living here. The ride here sounds long but it really went by pretty fast, i recomend driving a little bit more than half way and then staying somewhere for the night. It was a beautiful mountain scenic drive. Liam was soo good the entire trip. The last few hours the first day he was getting a little flustered but can you blame him 13 hours is a long ride. Hes obviously to young to know what is really going on but i think he ll like it here there are plenty of other children that are around his age that he ll be able to grow with. I think he is having a little trouble ajusting to the weather though. And after that trip from gloucester to wilmore he doesnt seem to enjoy car rides that much anymore. Two things that sooth his soul besides Jesus's love is his swing, and bath time. He falls right asleep once the swing starts going and he loves to splash around in his tub. He has the biggest room any infant has ever had in my oppinion, my parents are currently staying in there with him at night with their big blow up bed. The appartment is pretty big. There is a big kitchen area living room and bathroom on the first floor and then up to flights of stairs theres our bedroom, walkthrough closet and bathroom and Liam's room. Truth be told when we first pulled up before we even got the keys to the appartment we looked through the window and i was so upset i started to cry because the room that i thought was suppoed to be the living room/ kitchen area was soooo tiny i was scared we were going to have to get rid of most of our furniture, but it is actually huge that room was the kitchen area. i love it theres soooo much space. Room for everything and more. We finaly have everything in place and it is home. But turns out that this place is only temperary. Turns out there tearing this building down because they are building new family housing with central a.c wood floors, washer and dryer... its supposed to be really nice from what we hear. So thats exciting... that is supposed to be happening soon but im not really sure when though we've been hearing different things but from what we ve observed probly january/ feburaury. We live in family housing with 7 other families; we are the only american family.. everyone else is international. We have people from Tiwan, Korea, England. Kenya, and Nigeria. Its pretty cool. Trey and I got new phones so if you want our new numbers please message us at any time and i would gladly give them to you. Our address is 201 Broadhurst Rd. Apt 3 wilmore Ky40390. I have been job hunting for something part time around the Nicholasville. wilmore and lexington area but everyplace seems to just be taking aplications. I did find something in wilmore though which is super convinient because it is in walking distance from the appartment. I stared going to the gym last wendsay and have gone everyday since except for today becayse they re closed sundays. Tomorrow im going with our new friend Fiona from England she lives in apt 3. Any who I have been checking the bulliton on the way out of the gym and i found something that would totallly work for our family which is being a companion to an older gentleman down the street for three ours a day m-F great hours too 10-1. I am meeting them tomorrow. Trey preached at a church in Sadiville today at this little church called boyer chapel. Its about 40 minutes from here, the people are super nice and we really enjoyed being around them. Trey preached about decipleship and evangilism. He's preaching again next week too. I'm not really sure how they decide on choosing a pastor but they are looking for a head pastor and trey and looking to fill that position if it is God's will. Sadiville is a quaint little town too... smaller than wilmore.. its mainly made of farm land from what we saw. My parents have been with us since the day we left. they have really been a big help, as well as treys family who met us here and helped us get organized the first day. My dad seems to really be enoying himself i think he really likes it here. My mom, i dont really know about because she always says different things all the time. I dont think she likes change to much. She's just an up and down kinda gal like me. (Even thouogh there is no up and down for me here i love it!) They take off the first week of september. Im really going to miss them. They just have always been around and so when they leave it is going to be empty almost. i love them there great. Well it is just about 7:30 here now and im just finishing up this blog, my dad is watching kicking and screaming, trey is outside playing basketball, Liam just had his dinner and is sleeping in his swing, and my mom and i are about to have ice cream. Someone at boyers chapel and my mother in law recomended the movie Letters to God so we rented it and that will probly be our next move for the night before we go to bed. Its been a wonderful week and a wonderful sabbath day.

Untill next week blog world!!!

God's Grace is soo incredible

Dancing around with Liam to worship music procrastinating to clean this mess of a room i have realize how much of a blessing my life is. Oh praise him, he is holy!! God's grace is soo incredible, its amazing. He has blessed me with so much and i am soo grateful for that. Just the love he sheds on me is wonderful.. i have been somewhat distant to my devotions but he still has never left my mind and my side. He is my God and always will be he wants me for ever and never wants me to give up which is so great. He NEVER gives up on me and i am just soooo thankful for that. He is the only one that knows it all inside, out and around. There is truly no one greater he is the creator of it all. No one can compete with the Lord. Satan has nothing.I am feeling the Lord's presence right now and i only hope that Liam will know and feel that love that i feel as he grows. Jesus Christ changed my life forever and he deserves all the glory in the world. He is the most important thing in my life, he is the one who gave me life, gave my family life. And he is the one who keeps his promise and is going to give us the everlasting life of eternity. Jesus is my savior, the only good, and the only God.
i only hope that all of his children learn to love him and trust him the way he needs them too.. I only hope that i can be all he wants me to be.. he truly is the greatest i don't know how to even explain words are just not even enough. I can't emphasize enough how much i love him and am so grateful and thankful for all he has done in my life.
I can't ever get enough of him.. i ll always need and want more.
Having the Lord in my life a blessing of its own and the Lord himself has done that. JUST SEEK HIM AND YOU WILL FIND HIM. But you need to trust, love and believe. Have Faith. JESUS LOVES YOU!

let the rain fall...

Today is just the perfect day to lounge around and enjoy a good movie or novel. but probably movie because i can't ever get into any novels=0.The last couple of days have been super fun!! Trey Liam and I went up to NH on Sunday. My mother in law sister in laws and Liam kind of had a girls night cause trey went camping for the night with his dad and brother. It was fun it there home always feels like home it was nice. They watched Liam so that we could go celebrate our one year anniversary. I was such a nervous reck, it was the first time being with out him, and we missed him soooo much. But our anniversary was amazing ! We went to adventure suites in which i recommend it was awesome! I had no idea where we were going..... we had the champagne mist room. it was delectable. On our anniversary we went through the gorgeous kankamungus? highway, stoped for a tiny small trail walk. The trail is huge but i didnt want to go far out i was scared id run into a moose or something. We got a tour of the rooms that were open at the hotel when we got there but we couldn't check in until 3 so we drove around looking for some adventure. We ended up going for a 3 mile kayak journey it was fun.. but i think 3 miles was more than enough. We finally got to check in after and our view of the mountains was beautiful.. we then went out to dinner where we were going to a fancy Italian place but it was packed like every restaurant in north Conway so we decided to get Chinese. Then Trey beat me at a mean game of mini golf. We only paid for one of us to play because the people there were super nice. We went back to the suit and lounged in the hugeeeee jacuzziii.. Our anniversary was sooo great! I love him soo much I'm soooo glad i married him it was truly one of the best things i ever did and i am glad i got married as young as i did because that was just one more year to spend together! He's great he really is hes my mr. wonderful.. the prince charming i always wanted and dreamed of as a kid. I always used to have dreams of the man i married but could never see his face and treys completes that. On our way back we hung at the outlets.. lovedd that place got some great steels. We were so excited to come back to our little man. I love that the Brennan family always has some kind of family game going on it is super cute and fun and a great memory. All of them played kick ball . Trey had a good time of prayer with his two older sisters before bed We always have a good time when we are there.. i wish we could see them more often though. Any who ....today seems like such a lazy day but i cant be lazy.. i need to really get on my devotions day and night as well as my working out day and night.... i need to make it stuck and make it part of my everyday life. Not counting the rest of this week we only have two weeks left.... CRAZY ....but exciting. I'm pumped=)

A whole bunch of random-ness is the normal-ness that sums up my day!

Have you ever really stared into someones light eyes long enough that you could get hooked on their pupil? Well i was just feeding Liam and could help but think that he has cat eyes there sooo beautiful but i was just going a little crazy watching his pupils go from big to small. My eyes are so dark that i never noticed my pupil size... odd. Anyway.. today was quite exhausting... we went to bed super late last night. I finally finished going through and re organizing the down stairs room its all packed up! There is still the trailer, spear bed room and our bed room to go though... these next few weeks are truly going to be insane-no lie. This morning was quite the heart throb er.. i got up earlier than normal to make trey and my dad some breakfast and my sister came upstairs to tell us that our mom was taken to the hospital because she fell at work, so we immediately got up to go... she was in a lot of pain i felt soooo bad... she told me it was worse than having labor pains and going through birth and she would know because she had natural birth 4 times.. what a trooper. We went and got break pads for our car my braj and trey are going to get that taken care of tomorrow... i think treys excited to learn and it will deff come in handy I'm sure when we move. Trey then had to go to work in which i hate, i miss him soo much and hes still not home cant wait till he gets home hes the best hub. i love him soo much! i cant believe our one year anniversary is coming up Monday I'm so excited! marrying him was in fact one of the greatest things i have ever done! We had some visitors todayy that's always funn! It is sad though when the actions of someone else makes another depressed and i would know because i have been there. We just need to live according to the Lords will and let the Lord take care of those other people that is all... but i guess i cannot expect sinners to understand that. In which we are all born sinners. Before Trey went to work today we decided to have a little farewell cook out a week before we leave just to say adios to majority of our loved ones in which will miss soo much!!! Its going to be fun tho we'll s'more it out!! Currently I'm drinking mint tea which is soo good and i love it; listening to yellow card in which i have not listened to since i bought the CD back in 7th grade... i miss this CD don't know where it went but I'm thinking i might need a surf to itunes and make that purchase! Cant wait for Trey to get home!! 22 days till we take off!HipHipHorayyy-Hasta Manana-Over&Out=)

And so the count down begins!

Oh mann.. it is soo so beautiful outside today i wish i had the energy to go out and do something, maybe go for a walk to something just enjoy the nice breeze and gleaming sunshine! Liam's schedule changed when he woke up at 3 a.m when its normally 6 so i am a little off today, more than other days. We had our last appointment with the OBGYN this morning and we said our good-byes. On our way back we stopped for lunch at a place that reminded us of an American version of Amelia's in where we had a great convo with an adorable old man telling us about how much he loved his wife and that there will be no one that could begin to compare to her... he was super cute! We made a pit stop at the mall. Forever21 is the one spot i always go to first, i love that store all the different types of styles for affordable prices. My favorite thing about that place though is there shopping bags. John 3: 16 . The thing that bothers me the most is that soo many people love that place and love shopping there but they never noticed the bottom of the yellow bag... and or if they had they wouldn't know what that meant or it just wouldnt matter to them .... It is a very important passage and if all those girls and or boys that shop there knew what it meant- For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.- then maybe there lives would turn and they would be saved just knowing that alone.. but maybe that was just the intention of the company who knows... but i do hope that someday every person who ever shopped there and has a bag takes an interest in what that means and finds the true meaning of life and the promise of eternity. Anyways on to the rest of our day... we went to BJ's to stalk up on diapers, ointment, wipes, and formula. Liam is now a size 2 weighing in at probably more then 12 pounds now. and as for the formula it will prob only last 2 weeks considering that Liam is eating up to 8 ounces.. crazzyyyy how fast he's growing. Trey went to a garage today to see how much it would be to get new breaks... oh mann the guy wanted an arm AND a leg for them, it was the same guy who fixed monte up and he charged us 800. i think we soo got ripped off for sure. Any ways Danny said he'd do it and trey is going to help/ watch because he wants to learn for future reference. Trey has now been at work for almost an hour and he wont be home till 11 ugghh.... wish he was home with us all the time we miss him!! Liam and I are just hanging out hes in his swing on the highest level listening to waves crashing.. he loves it! I'm going to snag a cup of coffee to try and wake up and get some energy to clean up and work out cause i can now finally!!! Also, today i started the ultimate count down... 24 day till we leave for KY!! SOOO exciting but everything is still upside down so tomorrow morning i plan on getting up early and getting those boxes in check....... lets see how that goes.... and so.. the countdown begins.....

The Begining of Brennan Blogging!




Hey there blogging world! I have always liked the idea of blogging but never actually blogged. So thought i would be a good idea to start! Considering the fact that Trey, Liam and I are moving to a little town called Wilmore a 15 hour drive down to KY from where we are now, a little fishing town that i have always lived in my 19 years; Gloucester MA. what a change this is going to be for us! Mostly me though, Trey who is orig from NH went to school in FL his freshman year of college and then came to MA to finish up his BA in which he met me.He has been away from his family and has moved around where as i have never left yet. I am truly excited to go to KY because it will be different and we will meet new people who are going through the same things as us and experience new thing sand no matter what i will have my husband and son whom i love so much and they are most important to me but i am going to miss this town that i grew up in and as much as i would say it when i was younger that i can not wait to get out of this town because it is so terrible... it was not that bad and i am going to miss it! I am going to miss my family the most though! my parents who i am so close to and who i have seen almost everyday the past 19 years! and my two brothers their wives my sister and her husband and my nephew. The closet in age with them is 6 years and that's my sister so we never have been as close as we are now because of age difference and the lack of things we have in common because we are all so different. But i love them all so much and i am going to miss them sooo much!! I am going to miss the ocean a whole lot too!! It is one of my favorite creations even though i do not like swimming in it. Anyways, we are leaving August 15th for seminary and so i thought that blogging would be a nice start to our adventure of the beginning of our family and future... this is a good way to keep the family updated daily and keep me motivated to get things done haha so that i ll have some thing with potential to post! So its the beginging of Brennan Blogging and I am here about to go get ready for the day, while Trey and Liam are still sleeping haha like father like son. Well until later posts!! God Bless!
