One Week Down

As I find myself with mixed emotions this week, one minute ecstatic because I AM HAVING A BABY, and one minute saddened because I want so bad to be able share it all with Stephen right now, I realize that I am blessed. I have more in this life right now, at the age of 25, that I could have ever hoped for. God is not just good, He is great!

Stephen is doing good, but the camping trip lasted a little longer than he had anticipated. He just got into his room a day or two ago, but it is much nicer than he anticipated... this is a huge difference from the military. He will have internet in his room, so we should be able to communicate much more - now he will just have to get a laptop. Right now I have been hearing from him at least once a day... except for today. I am not worried because I know that Stephen is smart and good at what he does.

We also found out some more good news... He will get to come home twice. Once at about 4 months into it for about 2 weeks. Hopefully that will be about the time we find out if it is a boy or a girl. And then again when we have the baby for about a month. Yeah! This will make things much better. So the longest I should have to go without seeing him is 4 months.... that sounded selfish... 4 months will be the longest that he will have to be over there at one time.

Fortunately, before Stephen left we got a chance to get some family pictures done. I may be a little bias, but these are some cute pictures.






Anyone that would like to communicate with Stephen, e-mail is the best. I cannot guarantee that he will respond in a timely manner, but he would love to hear from everyone.

Praise the Lord for the camping trip to be over! Praise the Lord for communication! Praise the Lord for family! And Praise the Lord that He helped me through this week!
