Our family is growing and we thought this was a perfect time to begin our family blog! After three years of marriage, we decided this spring to begin praying that God would bless us with a child. We have seen God carry us though amazing times of blessing in the last three years and there have also been times of testing as we have been away from some of our family, started our ministries in the workplace, and learned to navigate the "newly married" stage of sharing life with another person. I think both of us would agree that waiting on God and trusting Him to bless us with this little miracle we desired was one of the most exciting times in our marriage thus far. In his perfect timing, we were blessed with the answer to our prayers on July 18th when we discovered we were expecting a baby. Now, after almost 16 weeks of pregnancy, we still stand in awe. We cannot wait to begin this journey into parenting. We also are looking forward to the plans He has for using our little family to advance His kingdom. We hope to use this blog as a way for our close friends and family (some of which do not live close by) to stay connected with us, see what's happening in our lives, journey though pregnancy with us, and watch our baby and family grow. We are so thankful for so many of YOU who support us, love us, pray for us, and help us grow. We are blessed to have you alongside us for this new phase of life!

Yay! I love following people's pregnancies!! Can't wait to see your belly grow...and read all your blog posts!! :-)
We are so excited for you guys. You finally gave into the D.I.N.K. pressure. We know how hard it can be. I agree about how close a couple becomes while trying and awaiting the arrival of a baby. It seemed like Shane & I were closer than ever before while I was pregnant. Enjoy it, because you will turn around and the baby is 5 months old. We love you guys.
yay! i'm so glad y'all started a blog. its so nice to be able to stay connected with friends this way :) i love you!
