Big Changes

It's been such a long time since I have blogged and much has changed in our daily lives!  We've gone from living right by the beach, as newlyweds, with almost anything right at our fingertips...restaurants, shopping, beach volleyball, Hollywood, concerts, etc, to moving a a hundred or so miles inland of Manhattan Beach to the Mojave Desert at Edwards Air Force Base.  Garrett changed jobs within the Air Force, moving from working on GPS in LA to working towards his second masters degree in a challenging 1-year program in flight test engineering--Air Force Test Pilot School.  We are far, yes very far, from civilization.  We miss the thrills of city living and the oceanview house, but we are finding some perks of living in the middle of nowhere...like plenty of free parking, having a yard (even though it's mostly gravel), a new house with LOTs of space, no LA traffic (woohoo), living on the same street with lots of fun families, and beautiful desert sunrises-yes, I've witnessed plenty of these lately.

Most importantly, though, our world has been forever changed by the arrival of our sweet baby, Beckett Jack Knowlan  He made his entrance into this world on December 1, 2009.  We are overjoyed by God's amazing blessing!  He blessed us by answering our prayers from day 1 of the pregnancy and we hope to share this story very soon.  We are in love and life will surely never be the same. :)
