The Test of Faith...

It has been awhile since we have updated our blog and I figured its about time that we update everyone on our lives. I had the wonderful opportunity to play the piano for Josh in sacrament meeting a couple of weeks ago. He sang "A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief" he did such a beautiful job that Deanne had us sing it again for everyone the Saturday after Serenity's wedding. It was a wonderful experience I am extremely stage fright and have avoided playing for many years but Josh finally moved me to do it. And of course Josh's lovely voice covered up any of my mistakes.

We also had the opportunity to go thru the temple with Serenity and attend the Sealing of her and Matt. What a beautiful day it was and such a happy thing for them.

Many people have been asking how my pregnancy is going. To be honest, not very good. I have had alot of sickness often carrying thru the whole day. But sickness I can handle. It was just in the last couple of weeks that I started spotting. To me an amateur any blood at all is no good. But my doctor and nurse says it is completely fine. I still struggle with it afraid I am going to lose the baby but in my heart I know I have to have faith in the answer I have been given thru prayers and blessings that everything is fine. What a true test for me, when all I want is answers now the answers my prayers give me is to be patient and have faith everything is fine. It is never a surprise that the Lord tests us in the hardest ways, how would we ever learn if he only tried our strengths? Patience is never been one of my best qualities and the complications with the pregnancy have me relying completely on patience and faith. Thank you everyone for all your prayers, I appreciate everyone being so supportive in this waiting game to see what will come out of this struggle.

Oh baby, Oh baby, Oh baby!

So if you haven't heard the news yet Josh and I are expecting. I am only about 3 and 1/2 weeks along so its still pretty new to us too. We actually had this whole plan to wait until after Serenity's wedding to tell everyone but my mom told everyone so I guess the secret is out. We are way excited about this addition in our lives and just pray that we will be great parents. I am due in mid March and should find out the sex in October (my guess is a boy). Thanks for all the well wishing!!

Hooray for Summer!!!

School is finally out and I feel like I can take a big breath! We spent the last weekend in Victor with Josh's family camping, and this weekend we are going down to see my family and go to Seri's bridal shower. It feels like life will never slow down. In the next month we have a million and one things to do. My little brother is coming to stay with us while my mom is at girls camp, he just can't stop talking about his excitement, mostly for Josh and the wii. After that we have Seri's wedding and than I am throwing a baby shower for my sister. And just when I think we get to breathe school will start back up for both Josh and I. What a summer right?
