2013...What?!?!

What's new in the Milam Family?? God has placed so many wonderful people in our lives this year. We have had some amazing family experiences! Here's the latest: 1) Nick's job. Oh-Kay...As of 2011, we were LOST on what step to take next. Nick finished his Graphic Design degree and with that, we had so much hope for him finding a new position where he could show his talent. God (and Raytheon) had a different plan. In the last 6 months, Nick was transferred to Garland and has been working with a new team of people & he has been loving it. He is still not doing exactly what he knows in his heart that he wants to do, but we know that the time will come. 2) I have recently accepted a position within our church. I am the new "Connection Manager", and am finding my place again in the world of work...after spending so many wonderful years as a full time Mommy. This job was a blessing, and I cannot wait to share more on that!! I also just returned from my first Mission Trip. I joined middle & high schoolers from McKinney, and we drove to Arizona. Life changing = yes!! But, as I am still processing it...look for more on that update later :) 3) Nick and I are still doing our Advocare business...as well as WorldVentures. (2 of the BEST choices we've ever made!) 4) Coleby & Landen just finished FIRST GRADE!! I know!! Seems absolutely crazy that my baby boys will be SECOND grader's in August. Time has flown, but I feel so blessed that I have been able to be there every step of the way. They have made so many wonderful friends at their school & if it is God's will, we hope to be in this area for along time. 5) Bella is still the same sweet, lazy dog she has always been. She's now 5 years old (or 35, however you look at dog age). Here is our most recent family photo (as always, taken by the fabulously talented Chera Nall!)
