New Adventure of Life

Well the holidays are coming, which means I'm gonna be a little emotional. Haha shocker. Poor James has had to deal with me going from laughing at something he said to crying the next second and not knowing why I'm crying. So this holiday season is going to be a blast for me with all the tears. Anyways, some exciting news. My mother in law is coming up for Thanksgiving this year. She will get to Bethel on the 18th and then James' uncle will fly down on the 19th to pick her and I up and take us to Aniak. We will spend the week there celebrating. James will fly up that Wednesday. Praying that he makes its since he will be flying non rev. He will have two chances to make it that day. Hopefully he will make it on the first flight that way he can spend some time with his mom. I'm really excited to be able to go up there for Thanksgiving. Haven't seen the family since July. We most likely won't make it for Christmas this year since it falls on James' work schedul...

If you are friend with me on facebook, then you probably already know that James and I are having a boy. We surprised our parents when we called and told them. No one knew when we were going. Originally it was going to be at the end of the month, but when I went to my 19 week appointment the PA told me I could come back in 2 weeks or continue with my every 4 weeks. After my appointment I went to the waiting area to talk to James at what we should do. We decided to come back in 2 weeks and that we should keep it to ourselves. Haha that was hard to do especially when I was talking to my mom  after that appointment. She was like "so when do you find out what your having? Isn't it at the end of the month?" I was like it's sometime in October. She was like okay and the topic was dropped. Everyone that would ask me I would tell them sometime in October. It was hard not to tell my best friend when we skyped. She really wanted to know what day it was, but I told her I was no...

Well planning for the baby has had its ups and downs.  We decided that we are going to buy/register everything in mostly neutral colors. That way when we have more children we can just reuse some of the bigger items instead have to buy new every time. Plus we won't have to store extra stuff if our next baby is a different gender then the one we are having.  We are also trying to decide if we want to by a crib or just get a pack and play for a crib and buy a crib mattress for it instead. All these designs are driving me crazy. We don't have a lot of space for a crib, but can make do if that is what we decide to do. It's just going to take some reorganizing  things to make it work. We have actually begun to do all that. Unfortunately we have a lot of totes that we have to figure out were to put. We are slowly emptying some of them and combining them with others, so we can stack the empty ones.  We are going to be finding out what we are hav...

Well I am getting back into being involved in the church. I was asked to help teach Sunday school with 2 other ladies. We will be rotating every week so no one has to be there every Sunday. Myself and one of the other ladies will only be there for a few months. The other lady is due just before me. I'll stay on until February. After I'm gone it will only be the one lady for the last couple months of Sunday school. This is new for me as I have yet to teach Sunday school, but hey there is a first for everything, right? So I ask prayer as I am to teach for the first time this Sunday. I also decided to get brave and volunteer to help out in Awana. It was really hard for me to decide if I want to do this or not. I didn't want to throw myself into so many ministries that I get burnt out. I've gotten burnt out before and it was hard to say no,but I always knew that I needed a break. Well after talking to James for almost 3 weeks on and off I finally decided that I can do Awa...

Well I am finally pregnant. I know a lot of people were praying for me since all I wrote about at the beginning of the year was about how much I wanted to be pregnant and to start a family with James. I found out that I was pregnant at the beginning of June. Right around the time I stop writing my blogs. It was hard to blog without talking about the baby. Now that we told family and made it "facebook official" I can write about it here. I lost weight at the beginning because I could hardly eat. I was always sick to my stomach. I couldn't eat meat or stand the smell of it cooking. Poor James had to stop eating bacon for breakfast because it would make me sick. With me barely eating, I would become shaky. I had to miss a few Sundays at church because I didn't feel good or because I was to shaky to go. I went to my first prenatal appointment when I was 15 weeks. Yes I know that is a little late for the first appointment, but we tried going sooner. We went to the fami...

People have asked me different questions about my internet. Yes i know that is a strange thing to ask, but when I tell them I can't do something because we don't have much usage left they are like what? Today is the day that starts a new month which is why there is very little shown. When I skype with my best friend CiJi, we normally talk for about 3 hours since we only skype once a month it takes about 1.5 bars just for the 3 hours. Sometimes we do great and have 3 bars left at the end of the month other times we are cutting it close. If we go over it cost us more money. We are already paying a big chunk of money just for this amount of usage. When we signed up for it there was a cheaper plan but you get hardly enough internet. I was talking to my sister about how I was watching Gilmore Girls through netflixs, but I had to get them in the mail. She was like you can't get it through your Wii? I told her that if we do streaming it would you a pretty big section of internet...

So it's been awhile... I have been going to church on Sundays which is nice. Slowly meeting new people there. The pastor told me this past Sunday that people will start coming back and everything will pick up so James and I can find some ministry to be involved in.  It's still a little hard going to church without James, but I'm making it. I found out that there was a men's Bible study on Wednesday nights and I found out the time and came home and told James about it. We emailed are pastor to see if it went on during the summer since everything else was done. Found out it does go on during the summer. James went there tonight. Hopefully he can start meeting people also that are not coworkers. It will be great for him to be around other believers.  So last week James and I went grocery shopping and I decided that I needed to go get some birthday cards for my mom and my nephew whose birthdays are next week. Well I saw some post cards write next to the card, so I started ...
