Posting again.....

Well things have been pretty busy here latetly. Joe's cousin and his wife just moved here from Oklahoma and we have been spending a lot of time with them getting them moved in and helping them feel at home here.

Then last weekend we had company. Our friends Travis and Amy came down from Idaho to stay with us. There was a wedding for a young couple here and also was the grand opening for our new church building. It was pretty neat. For those of you who don't know the assembly here has been meeting in this tiny little grange building for at least 10 years in the hopes of getting a bigger building. The grange was so little, but we had a lot of good meeting in there. The one thing I didn't like though was everytime I had to take Luke out I had to walk up front passed the pulpit (sp?) Always felt like a big distraction. So we had the grand opening and it was packed. It was pretty neat. We had a really nice weekend and spent time with good friends and had a lot of good visits.

Well I have really felt like I have had nothing to post about lately, but that is not true. I did have something to post about, but just couldn't tell what it was untill now.....I am expecting again!!!! I am 12 weeks today. Joe and I are pretty excited. I can say it has helped a lot in our grieving. Has given us a renewed sense of hope and something to look forward too. Rather than just thinking about the past. Not that we will ever forget what happen or forget our sweet Lily. Without Lily and losing her this new little one would never exsist. I am thankful that the Lord allowed it to happen so quickly and at all. I know he knows our needs and whats best for us. I know I surely don't deserve anything but am thankful that he allows us blessings. There is a little sense of fear this time around and wanting to everything to be ok, but so far it hasn't been that bad. Right now I just feel like everything is out of my hands and I have no control over what is taking place in my body. It is actually a comfort, even though I tend to be a control freak....hehe. But with this issue I think God has better control then me :-)

So physically I have been pretty sick off and on. Worse than I was with Luke but not quite as bad as I was with Lily. Mostly I have just been exhausted. I am really getting tired of having no energy, but with the start of my second trimester in a week or so I am starting to feel better. It is always soooo nice to have the first trimester over with. So anyways just wanted to share the exciting new with everyone.

Congratulations! I think that the most healing thing for us was to have Trent to hold. We got expecting immediately after Seth died and it was the last thing that I wanted, but God knew what I needed. Our prayers are for you and the little one. Congratulations!

There are no words to tell you how happy I am to hear this! I'm so glad that you have the mindset that you do, I think God will reward you for that! I can't beleive you are already in the 2nd trimester (basically) and I've only known for a week! But that just makes it way less time for everyone to wait for the little one :) I can't wait to go to the new church! That grange was WAYYY too small! Take care of yourself and hopefully we'll see more blogs from you (ya know, like belly pictures ;) LOVE YA!

What a sweet blessing! I have to say i was pretty jealous of my sissy when she told me that she was going to Colorado with Bro.T and Sis.Amy. She called me when she got home and said that it was a very sweet trip. She really enjoyed visiting with you guys and your family. Lord willingly we'll be able to head over to Colorado someday and meet you in person. Our prayers are with you! <3
