2 weekends ago we had the opportunity to go to Austin for the weekend. 2 of our students in Fort Worth were getting married and they asked Chris to perform the wedding. They made a way for all of us to go. We had such a great time. It was Hannah's first time in a hotel and second time in the pool. She loved everything. Here are a few pictures from her time in the pool.

The baby is coming soon

2008-04-04T08:24:00.000-07:00

The doctor says it won't be long until she arrives. I go for a checkup on Monday and she will let me know how things are progressing. She doesn't won't me to go past 39 weeks because of the gestational diabetes so we are looking at somewhere around April14 instead of the 23rd. We are excited and ready for her to get here.

Sorry I have not blogged in a while. Here are some pictures my mom took when her and my aunt came to visit 2 weeks ago. The first picture is of Chris checking my blood sugar. I really appreciate the way he takes care of me :) The second picture is of me trying to figure out how to work my aunt's camera. In this picture we were at scenic drive, a famous look out point in El Paso. My mom enjoyed taking pictures of my belly that week. I will add more pictures to them when I can remember to bring our camera to the office :)

We are blessed to be moving into a house. It should be ready the beginning of October. Most houses out here are stucco. This week they put the layer of cement on the house which gives it texture so in a couple of days they will paint it. We are excited about the opportunities we will have in this neighborhood and we want to use our home to be an encouragement to others. We have seen great examples of hospitality in Central Asia (thanks ya'll) and hope to follow their example!

2007-08-07T07:34:00.001-07:00

We arrived in El Paso the 2nd week in July. It was a long trip from NC to El paso but we had great company. My mom and dad helped out so much! We thank God for his provision and protection. We were welcomed to El Paso by the Franklin mtns. Though their not the blue ridge, they have their own kind of beauty by God's design.
