With a Busy Quarter Comes Good News

Wow - March and April have been crazy! We finished the previous quarter with finals (March 9-11), and departed for our campaign to New Hampshire on Friday, March 11, at 8:00 am. Well, that's when we left for the airport anyway. Our flight was delayed and we actually left DIA around 1:00 pm. We were in Tilton, NH for the following week, returning home late on Thursday, March 17. We were home on Friday, making a trip out to my parents' house to get their car which we drove to Oklahoma City on Saturday. That was a fun trip! We spent the weekend with Michelle Cecil, my mom's best friend from high school. My parents met us there Sunday night, and Monday we took the car to OCU so my brother could use it until Summer break, then prepared to ride back to Denver with my parents. But we had a surprise that morning... we found out we are expecting!!

Needless to say, we had a lot of fun on the 10-hour drive back to CO with my parents, watching movies and talking about the grandbaby-to-be. The next day, David and I drove up to Steamboat Springs to look at a pickup my grandparents had offered to give us. It is a 1991 Ford F150 (brown), it's in great condition, and we are very grateful to them - this is going to make the move to NH much easier! Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa!

We had been considering the possibility of staying in Colorado until the baby is born, then moving, but it seems wiser to go in August as originally planned. There are lots of logistics to consider, so we are still uncertain as to how exactly we will get there. We are trying to raise support so that David will be able to devote as much time as possible to the ministry, and we are projecting a budget of $4,000/month to make sure we have what we will need for the baby.

As for the pregnancy, I'm only about 10 weeks along. I haven't had any morning sickness (although lots of fatigue), but there is a long way to go. Please pray for our little family as it begins to grow, and for our future as we continue to prepare for working in the New England area. Thanks be to God - there is a lot of work to do and great people to work with, and we can't wait to get started!
