Hello strangers!

Yes, we are still alive....

I've been trying to get back into this blogging business for the past month now, but everytime I login and hit the "Edit" button on the post titled "Hello Strangers" the feeling of overwhelmedness (I think I made that word up) starts creeping in...I have no idea where to start to get you filled in on the past 5/6 ish months of our life....after overwhelmedness -- sheer panic. Once the panic hits then comes frustration closely followed by a closed laptop.

So I've decided we won't try to do that in one post. My new motto: Keep it simple, stupid.

 I'll catch you up as we go along but to start off, we'll cover the important ones....

1. We are still anxiously awaiting the arrival of our little girl...T-minus 10 weeks until D-day. Its taking way too long for us to get to meet this little one and to say we are excited is the understatement of the year. Its strange how after 7 months of her being with us Josh and I feel like we know her already.

2. Upon arrival back in the States, Josh and I have been blessed beyond belief with God's provision in our lives. We had no doubt that He would deliver, but man, did He deliver...Josh was offered a job within a month of being back, he started two weeks later and now we are fully insured with a steady income. Its amazing how much more important insurance becomes when you know you are on a timeline. "Obamacare" was sounding pretty good for a while...

3. My parents have been such a blessing as well, giving up their basement for the employed but still homeless us...especailly when they were on the brink of finally having the house to themselves after 28 years of raising 4 kids.

So thats good for now on catching up, we'll talk more about that later... Lets talk about tonight...

Here in about 3 hours Josh and I are headed to birthing class #2 where they show the videos of birth. I'm a little concerned. I wouldn't be as worried about it if he wouldn't have gotten whitish/green faced and ran to the bathroom after our first doctor's appointment where I had to get a "girlie test" and blood drawn ...true story. He says its only because it was me. He's precious and I love him.

I'm sure he'll do a great job, especially because there is a Sonic run waiting for him at the end of our movie date. But then again, he might not want to eat.

I'll let you know how it goes...
