The Latest News


2010 has proven to be a crazy year as we struggle to get settled into a new city and ministry.  We are definitely looking forward to some positive changes in our lives and family in 2011.  For those of you who have not heard, we are expecting our first baby at the end of December.  After quite a bit of waiting and surgery for me (Erin), our dreams of becoming parents are finally coming true.  So far, we know it’s a girl, but we have nothing else planned.  She remains nameless (besides a few ideas that we can’t agree on), we do not have a bedroom for her, and we have not registered for a thing.  We will certainly keep you all posted as everything progresses.  I can tell that parenting comes with a lot of difficult decisions even before the baby is born.  I’ve been trying to investigate immunizations, diapers, routines, names, and etc.  I’m not sure that I’ll ever have it all figured out. 

In other news, our house is going back up on the market again in September after a new roof and painting throughout the house.  We’re really praying that it sells quickly because it’s hard to plan things for this baby girl while we’re waiting to know where we’ll be living.  Currently, we are blessed to live with a lovely woman from the church.  However, we have to sell this house to get into our own place before the baby.  We’re also really praying that we don’t go into major debt from selling it because we’re dropping the price considerably.  Here’s hoping for God’s perfect timing to take place sometime in September.
