Time Marches On...

Hello friends! Before I started writing, I thought it didn't have much to write about. Then, after thinking about it, I realized there are always updates to make to the blogger world.

First of all, the pregnancy is progressing along quickly it seems. I'm currently 16 weeks. I actually head back to the doctor tomorrow. We'll get to hear that little heartbeat again! This Saturday, I am having an ultrasound at the Liberty Women's Clinic. This is our first peek at our little boy or girl (hopefully we can say for sure after Saturday!). I'm so excited to see that little baby wiggling around in there! I should be far enough along that we can find out the gender. If not, we have an ultrasound at our regular doctor March 5 and should definitely know then. We will be sharing the gender of the baby with everyone; but the name will be kept secret...mwah, ha, ha! That is, if we can keep our mouths shut!

15 Weeks. Apparently it's bigger this week...my students said today, "Mrs. Henry your bump grew over the weekend!" 
We have also started looking at homes in the area. I'm not sure exactly where we will end up, but it's been fun searching and searching for houses! We got pre-approved for a mortgage and decided to take the plunge again! The plan is to be moved by the beginning of the summer - shortly after school is out. That's plenty of time to get settled and paint a baby room by August! :)

We had bit of a rough week/weekend. Luke's Grandma has been in the hospital for two weeks now. Luke flew to Illinois last Tuesday night and I joined Wednesday after school. We spent Thursday sitting in the hospital room thinking the worst was coming soon. Then we walked in Friday and there Grandma is, sitting up with her eyes open, just finishing her breakfast! She seems to go from awake and alert to confused and back again. We pray that she can get out of that hospital room soon!

Presents from my FBLA members!
After a stressful Tuesday (with Luke heading to Illinois on a plane), I walked into my classroom Wednesday morning, flipped on the lights and had my first ever surprise party! It was Advisor Appreciation Day for FBLA Week and many of my FBLA members were in my classroom awaiting my arrival at 7:30am Wednesday morning. Complete with the surprise were delicious brownies (at 7:30am, yes), potato chips (long story there), candy and presents! The kids had very thoughtfully thrown me a surprise baby shower! They did such a great job on the gifts. The gifts were so practical - many diapers, wipes, toys, books...and on and on. It was such a wonderful surprise and reminded me again of how much I love my job and my kiddos!

More updates to come soon. Hopefully a blue or pink page on Saturday! :)

Get Behind Me!

Good morning reader friends! I felt as though I hadn't written anything of substance for a while so here goes! I have been attending a Bible study with women who are on campus or have previously been on campus. This past week, someone told me they hadn't seen anyone get through seminary without a car breaking down (in a disastrous way), someone close to them dying, or serious financial woes. My first thought was, "Get me out of here!" But in all honesty, why do seminary families have so many troubles? I can tell you why, Satan is an attacker. An evil being who does not want any human growing in their faith in his nemesis. I remember a few things happening before we even moved that made me think that Satan was attacking us. He was doing everything in his power to make us stay where we were and lose faith in our Lord. But he didn't win, we're here. He's still attacking us though. Luke's job hasn't started yet...every time he calls they tell him t

Clarity, Please?

Job hunting is never fun. Enough said. :) I just got home from my first job interview here in KC. And well, wasn't that interesting? I interviewed with a massage company...for (what I thought) a receptionist position. I got lost on the way there - but on a plus side I totally figured it out and got myself back on track (go me!). I had to drive literally through the city traffic to get there. I got off the interstate and proceed to, in my mind, the ghetto. It probably isn't though - I doubt I've ever been to a real ghetto. During the interview the lady tells me that we are in the ritzy part of town (uh, what?) and that customers will yell at me. Oh, and so will the therapists...I guess they think they run the place since they have a college degree. Um, I have a college degree. She also asked if I was familiar doing sales with a script. It appears that I have to call people and convince them to get a membership to this place. Okay....oh, and I make $8.50 an hour plus commis

KC Adventures

So I've decided that I'm not so good at blogging. I meant to do this at least a couple times a week...not once every two weeks. It's a very busy time in my life so I apologize! I'll try harder! I have decided to focus this blog post on more FUN things! It seems my past posts have been serious tear-jerkers and while I enjoy them...it's time for some fun! Luke and I (the dorks that we are) have created a short list of adventures we would like to embark on when we get to KC. My plan is to document all these adventures and share them with you. This list is just a few things we have found so far...I'm sure it will grow. And as I look over it...most of it seems centered around food and sports. Hrmmm...let's get started. Oh, by the way, these are in no particular order. 1. Kansas City Royals game. No, we are NOT going to disown the Cardinals! We will always be Cardinals fans. However, Royals games are CHEAP! They have BUCK nights and areas of the stadium that ar
