New Website

Jeremy and I created a new website with our blog built in so we will no longer be updating this one. To find out more of what is happening in our lives go to:

Great Expectations

Yes, I have read Great Expectations by Charles Dickens within the last year, but Jeremy and I are not expecting to receive money from a rich benefactor, but we do have some other news. We are expecting to have a little bundle joy delivered to us in the middle of October. I am 14 weeks pregnant and feeling better than earlier in the pregnancy. We have been to the doctor's twice now and have heard a strong heartbeat both times. We are doing good, but as you have seen with all our other entries our lives have taken some pretty swift turns. Jeremy works now in his first professional job, which he enjoys, he is a new home buyer, a college graduate, and will be a father in a few very short months. Thank you for all of your support and prayers. We greatly appreciate it.

Our New Home

Jeremy and I have finally made the plunge. We have bought a house and plan on moving in on May 6th. We are excited about the chance and opportunity to have a place we can call our own even if it is only for a short time. We plan on living at 1535 SE Tudor street in Albany, Oregon for two to four years. I am excited for all the things we will be able to do in our house like refurbish our dining room table because we have a garage to work in. We will be able to do laundry more than once every two weeks and I won't have to do all the laundry on the same day if I don't want to. What a blessing.
