We are on our way to New York tomorrow! Can't wait to see everyone! I haven't been there since I packed my suitcase and boarded a plane in March 2007. I planned to come back to close on my house but they did it long distance and my dad packed up my stuff and drove it home. Thanks, dad! I'm looking forward to actually vacationing in the city as opposed to trying to experience it while working. Larry and Ruby are getting married. We're so excited for them. Hopefully we'll see many of you Saturday!!!

Ladies' Radiance Conference
Faith, friends and food
We had a Ladies' Meeting at church which was very nice. Some ladies decorated tables and made the desserts and we were able to hang out before listening to the message. I had fun with the Melissas squared and seeing some other friends. I'm pretty picky lately with pictures but here's a bit of a side shot for those who asked. Those are kind of hard to look at after those years on Jenny Craig but hopefuly Hannah will take most of it with her when she comes out :)! We would like to ask if you would like to pray for us. It has been my written vision since 2000 and Nick's desire as well that I be able to stay home for awhile with Hannah but the reality is not there right now. I know some people like to work which is great but for us in this moment, this is what we believe. So if you could pray, that would be great. It feels like God has granted so many miracles to me lately that I shouldn't expect anymore. But if it's His will, then I know He can do it. For some reason, after all the other things I have seen God do in time through faith and perserverance, I seem to be struggling with this one. But I know that nothing He does is based on what we have the ability to do but on what He already did for us. So I will trust Him. It is just nice to have a little encouragement along the way. I am also having the hardest time sleeping, which is probably evident in my pictures. I hate to be so vunerable but sometimes you just need a little help. Thank you for being great friends to us. Please let me know in the comments if there is anything we can pray for with you. Love, Victoria

Aww!
Isn't it cute! This sign was a surprise on Hannah's wall when I got home today. Nick and I are doing "The Love Dare" book with a couples group at church. It's the book that was part of the movie, "Fireproof". It's true, it feels kind of nice when someone gives you something you weren't expecting. We saw this at TJMaxx together but I didn't want to commit to buying it. But since Nick made it part of our "Love Dare" assignment, I don't have to feel too guilty. I am very excited because it's the perfect colors and they just happen to have Hannah's name. At TJMaxx where you never know what you are going to find. So again, without even asking, I was able to get something I really wanted for Hannah, a place for her name in her room to make it her own. The room is slowly making its way from a blue guest room to a green and pink nursery. Now all I need is Aunt Madelina to fly down from NYC and paint a bunny mural! She did such an amazing job on Asher's room. http://babybeanmiranda.blogspot.com/2008/10/ashers-nursery.html. Grandparents, aunts and uncles are always welcome here! Thanks, Nick! Hannah will love it!
