Soul Surfer.

Last week as apart of Chris' birthday, we saw the movie "Soul Surfer" in theater.
Can you say......AMAZING?! I was a little skeptical because I thought it would be "cheesy" but it really wasn't at all....quite the opposite actually!
It was so refreshing to see famous actors in a wholesome, Christian movie....One of the opening scenes of the movie had actors Dennis Quaid and Helen Hunt along with Carrie Underwood worshipping at a church service...I found myself worshipping along! How fun to be able to worship while seeing a movie in theater! :)
The movie was very very inspiring to me and it really made me look at the things in my life that I need to rely on God even more for....because through him I can do ALL things through Christ! Check out the movie trailer and GO SEE THIS MOVIE IN THEATER!!! Seriously, people we say we want more clean Hollywood movies so let's support an amazing one!!!!

Babies, Teens, and showers.

This week Chris and I are the proud parents of all four of my siblings as my parents are on a cruise!
Yes, you heard me--two 2 year olds and two teenagers! What fun! :) I'm excited to build deeper, lasting relationships with all four of them, but whew--we will be busy! :)
On top of that, I'm hosting a huge bridal shower for the lovely bride to be, Rachel Trumble! I'm getting butterflies about that and just pray it all comes together!
This week gives me a real life look into the lives of full time mommas! Being a stay at home Momma is my dream job and this is giving me a great idea of what to expect! I worry that I'll be able to juggle it all but I know God's GRACE is enough! :)
I want to give a huge shout out to my amazing husband, Chris--he has jumped right into helping me and has such a servant's heart! I have such a deeper appreciate for single Moms, because wow--I could not do it without his help!!!
That's all for now---mommy duties call! :) Oh and just a question--why do babies wait until right after you change them to do a poopy?! It's like they know what they're doing and just want to watch you freak out! hahaha love it!
Love,

Hi everyone :)
Well, here I go--trying to make myself actually commit to blogging .(special thanks to Emily Boyd for encouraging me aka: pestering me! ha!) I'm excited about the name I chose. I have been trying to think of a blog name for a long time and then suddenly, it just came to me tonight...

Why did I choose to name my blog "Happy Little House Wife"?

2.

3.

Little–adjective

2.
short in duration; not extensive; short; brief: a little while.

Housewife-A married woman whose main occupation is caring for her family, managing household affairs, and doing housework.

I'm pretty sure all of you are bright enough to realize that
these three words describe me pretty darn well! ;)

With Love,
Jessica Renee Gunn
