I'm HERE I promise

WOW I know it has been a while, but I am here.

Sept for Rylands birthday party was my last post and  A LOT has happened since then.  

I'll just start with the big stuff. 

WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!!

Our little bundle of joy is projected to join us in Mid to early July.  This pregnancy has been, well.... Difficult. 

I spent the first 15 weeks throwing up everything I could think of and basically feeling miserable all day.  Evenings being worse, but all day was no fun.  After two prescription nausea meds and hitting a few weeks into the second trimester.  I have not throw up in about two weeks now and feel pretty good during the day.  Evenings still not fun especially being in a car in the evening.  

Christmas was GREAT.  Our first one in the new house and if I hadn't been sick for the whole Christmas season I'm sure it would have been a bit more enjoyable.  

My dad RETIRED from UPS the first week of Jan.  It has been so nice for him to be available in the evenings.  We couldn't be happier for him and for my parents to figure out how to live together again after 10 years of being on different work shifts.  

Amy is engaged to Mike and planning an early May wedding!

Monica is engaged to Rod and planning a mid October wedding! 

(Mark and I are so sad to travel to Manhattan for a long weekend) :)

Now for the not so fun stuff.  And REQUEST for MANY prayers.

I am once again taking a Masters class.  The Deafblind program from Utah State opened up another online class and it is a 4 credit class.  Which happens to be the exact amount of credits I need to move over on the pay scale.  (I know I've said it 5 times now, but this WILL be my last class for a long time)  The timing was perfect.  I needed 4 hours and I 'll be done before baby comes.  

This past week my Mima Ginia was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer.  She is 84 and has never had a surgery or been hospitalized (other than having her 5 children).  

We are awaiting results and a plan of action (surgery or chemo, etc) tomorrow a.m. 

Please keep her in your prayers that she may have strength and peace during this most difficult time.  

I have it on my own personal wish list to get going on this blog again.  

Thanks for prayers.
