Here we go...

I have finally joined the blogging world, YAY! I probably should have started a long time ago to record all the cities we've lived in, all the amazing people we have met and all the beautiful places we've seen in this very busy life we Reed's have had so far. But, you have to start some where so here I am. We have been living in Sarasota, FL for about 8 months now. Seems like just yesterday we moved here. I love it in this beautiful town. The beaches are breathtaking, the community is very warm and we have found a church I really enjoy. It's no Nashville, but it's getting pretty close! The girls seem to be making friends quicker than I or Jace, but in time it will also come. I am a stay-at-home mommy and loving it. I love my Lord and Savior and am excited to see what he has in store for me and my family.

Kansas is 5 1/2 and a bundle of energy. She is so outgoing and confident. We started homeschooling this year for Kindergarten and are really enjoying it! She loves to read and is so excited when she learns a new word. She is extremely independent and doesn't want me to help much. On the other hand she is extremely loving and affectionate. She makes friends so effortlessly and everyone just loves being around her!

Ysabella is 2 years old and my little ham. She does the funniest things that make you laugh till it hurts. She has an amazing smile that brightens up your day and just like Kansas she is extremely loving. She adores her big sister, following her around everywhere and repeating things she says. She loves to read anything and everything! Anytime I can't hear her I know she is in her chair reading a book.


They both adore their daddy and can't wait till he gets home to play pirates or jail ball or some other fun world they escape into with their papa. Jason and I started our journey together on June 8, 2002 and it has been nonstop ever since. We met in Seattle, moved to Oregon the day we got back from our honeymoon. From there we have lived in California, Idaho, Tennessee and finally here in Florida. He is in radio and had to move us to move up. We are pretty confident that Florida will be our home for some time, unless God has other plans! For now I am just praying that I can continue to learn how to be a Godly wife and mother and that we can make some roots here in Sarasota.

I'm so glad you're blogging! I'm your first "follower" too! : ) I'm glad you've found a church you're enjoying. I hope that Sarasota feels more like "home" everyday, even though we miss you all so much in Nashville.

So I saw on your FB page that you had a blog and had to check it out. Your girls are darling! I can't believe you have a 5 1/2 year old. Everyone looks so happy! Look forward to reading updates on your life in FL.
