Our trip home

I just returned from a wonderful, relaxing two weeks back home in Washington and have lots to write about! Eric's sister Carli announced she and her husband Landen are expecting their second child! Their son, Caleb, is such a sweet little guy; we can't wait to find out if he's getting a little brother or sister! Congratulations, Grant family (if you would like to keep updated on their good news, you can visit their blog through the link on our page)!

In our three years of traveling back home, this trip was one of my favorites! Being able to leave for two weeks and not have to worry about all the "work" that was piling up on my "desk" was amazing! I felt like I was finally able to fully enjoy each moment with family and friends and truly be on "vacation"! The hardest part was being away from Eric for so long, but he was able to come out for a four day weekend to be with us. We both agreed that things are better when we’re together!

While at home we were BLESSED to have two baby showers for our little girl! We would like to thank everyone who attended to support us during this precious time! Your encouragement, prayers, and generosity are such a blessing to us. We feel humbled by your thoughtfulness and grateful for your love!

If my stomach wasn't noticeable before, it's definitely making an appearance! It feels like I’ve doubled in size in a very short period of time. I am still at a point where I don't feel "huge" yet, but I am noticing the changes--I keep bumping my stomach on the car door and on chairs, if I try to walk behind someone at a dinner table. The down side of this all is that now I really have to look for new clothes...the up side is that everyone was extremely helpful at the airport today!

Eric and I are currently in the process of house hunting and we are so excited to see what God has in our future! We will be busy the next few weeks touring potential homes. Please keep us in your prayers as we make this very important decision!

I want to send a special Thank You to my wonderful husband for my "Mom to be" Mother's day delivery! You're the best husband I've ever had!!
