So it's definitely been awhile since I last updated. I'm not very good at keeping up with this thing, but I am very good at keeping up with other people's blogs! :)

The biggest and best news that I have is that Josh and I are expecting our first child - a sweet baby BOY - around June 9th!! For those who know, 2010 was a rough year as far as pregnancy was concerned. 1 miscarriage and 1 chemical pregnancy tend to discourage a person. However, God's perfect timing prevails again. It's so funny how when you try so hard to do something on your own, it fails. When God decides the time is right, it doesn't matter what the circumstances...it's happening! It's phenomenal to see prayers answered and almost comical the way God makes things happen.

This pregnancy has gone SO well! I don't know that I could have asked for an easier time. During the first trimester, I had lots of food aversions. Macaroni and cheese was my go-to food. I also gagged at drinking regular water. It had to be flavored with something and ice cold. No horrible sickness, though. I'm very thankful for this, since there are so many women who have quite a time with morning sickness. Appetite-wise, the second trimester has been very good to me. Perhaps too good...

I'm just about 23 weeks and am enjoying feeling my baby boy's acrobatics every day. We are slowly accumulating baby stuff. Very fortunately, the soon-to-be grandparents have purchased the large items - the travel system and the furniture. We are SO thankful for their generosity! All that's left now is the little stuff! :)

In other news, Christian Challenge is going well. Lots of changes have been made, and they have proven to be changes for the better. I'm excited to see what the rest of the semester brings.

InsideOut Church is going even better. We are having our first worship gathering on March 3rd!! It's so neat to have a date set. We've been a part of the planning process and it's finally coming to fruition.

Lunchtime! Pita chips and hummus sound amazing....
