Like usual I’ve been a little slow on my updates. To be honest I have felt tired and uninspired to do anything, but I really need to get out of this funk because there are some major life events happening and I need to start figuring them all out.
First of all I wanted to give you an update regarding our pregnancy. As of right now (16wks) everything is going okay. Below is a picture from our 15wk ultrasound appointment. This looks like a SCARY alien, but I’m thankful for this continual opportunity.
Moving: I guess we’re doing this. We officially signed a lease for a house to rent in Denver, Co (Cherry Creek). Our lease will start on May 1, 2008, but we will not physically be moving out there until Monday, June 3. However, the moving company will be picking up our belongings on Saturday, April 26 (1 day after we get back from Hawaii). There are many reasons why we are waiting until June so I wont go into detail but just know we have thought & prayed long and hard about the various options and this seems to be the wisest choice for us (financially & emotionally). During the month of May we have been offered to stay in an empty apartment a few blocks from my work and in the same complex as our close friends (Sam & Rosalee). We are blessed to have this opportunity and the person who is allowing us to stay is very gracious for allowing us this opportunity (rent free). Since we’re not asking any of our friends to help us move, we’ll be hitting you up to borrow a few of your items (air-mattress, sheets, blankets, plates, cups, etc.) for the month.
How am I emotionally doing with all of this? Not sure to be honest. Eric and I have had many conversations about this move and where I am at with everything (especially with the pregnancy factor) and it’s been hard conversations at times. I do believe we’re supposed to go, but as of right now I feel it’s more of Eric’s calling then mine. He doesn’t like it when I say this because he wants me to feel that it’s my calling and we’re doing this together, but at this point…it’s not. I’m moving because I want to support Eric as his wife and I believe this is what I’m called to do. Now, I’m sure once we move out there and get settled in… I’ll start to feel different about everything. We know a few people who live there (who I actually like) so I’m trying to stay and be positive in the midst of all this craziness that is about to change of lives. So if think about us during these next few months of transition…prayers would be welcomed and appreciated.
Fun Trips: We’re going to Hawaii (Maui) with Eric’s parents from April 15-April 24 and I’m so excited! Memorial Weekend we’re going to Palm Desert with some good friends and all I want to do is to enjoy the sun, drink pina colada’s (virgin one’s of course…drats), relax, and spend some good quality time with friends since this will be one of our last opportunities enjoying the simplicity of everything and our friends.
Well I better go for now. Thanks for checking in if any of you are still out there. I promise I’ll start updating this blog on a more consistent basis …this will be my motivation to get my rear in gear!

I’m glad that you and the baby are doing well! My husband is a pastor and I’ve been in that place before, moving to support him but not because I feel called to be there. Like you said, once I’m settled in (I don’t deal well with change), I start to feel like I belong there too. But it’s hard, especially during the planning/anticipating/transition stages. I hope that it will go smoothly for you.
Thanks for those encouraging words, Katherine. I know with God’s peace everything will come together. nlh.
