A New Chapter In Life, A New Beginning

Hello! It has been quite a while! Well I've been a little bit busy! Between my new job which I've now had for 8 months! Woo hoo! Getting into an even more deep relationship, getting married :) And on top of that, a new member to the Perez family is on the way, not to mention the baby bump I have, etc. 

Well hello!

First of all! I've missed writing my blog! But I've been busy adjusting to major life changes! I am writing your from our awesome apartment in Chicago! Which I love! We have many projects to do! But step by step we are getting there!

God has blessed us in the beginning of our new marriage! Yes, I am now Heather Cheryl Perez! Which is super cool because it means beautiful flower bursting forth.  So I will take that!  Plus my husband is super awesome and I love him so much!

We are always learning something new!  For example my husband is a better cook than I am! I will admit it.  He could be a chef one day who knows.

God has been teaching me humility and how to love through all the seasons and to always be praying, seeking God's direction, and making sure you don't deal with everything on your own. 

My job has been going well! Caseworking away! I do childcare assistance application/redetermination processing.  Just the other day I had a girl try to get her children's father to get paid to watch his own kids, but no worries I saw the names and made sure that didn't happen because we don't pay just anyone.  Plus you get to watch your own kids for free and it's not even watching cause they should be a major part in your life anyways. 

Alvaro & I are doing great! Working hard! Getting prepared for November! The Thanksgiving/Christmas we'll never forget! Our little baby girl Ellie is coming around then sometime, whenever she chooses to come!  It is so magnificent seeing the ultra sound.  From a tiny little peanut size organism moving in the first few months to a huge living being with eyes, feelings, kicking, and getting annoyed by us looking at her too much.  God's way of making things is so much cooler than any inventor could ever think of.  I am ecstatic to be a mom, and hope to be a great one, not perfect, but am going to try the best I can with my husband to be who God wants us to be as parents!


Every season is so unique! Different, but the beautiful thing is you gain insight, wisdom, and understanding the more you go through each one!  This season after a few years of many battles, some won, some lost, I have found myself to be blessed, blessed beyond belief with the man of my dreams, a new home, a new family, and a soon to be child.  I am so excited for everything God has in store for Alvaro & I, the Perez family!  I can't wait to see how God uses us in the future!

I know one thing is each day we will be growing in marriage, in love, in love and patience with our little Ellie! 

But the good thing is we're never alone! God is a wonderful listener as well as instructor with His word to show us and guide us along the path! 

I hope you have a blessed week :)
