Rest upon His promise, 

and take Him at His word.

Wow,  talk about a big ball of stress. That is what I have been the past month. At times in life it seems as though stresses and uncertainties come all at once. Phillip and I have so much to think about and so much to look forward too, however, all these things are unknown at the moment. We still do not know where we are moving and when.  It all depends on where an office will become available for Phillip and when.  We know it will be anytime between now and June 10th. We keep praying and being (mostly) patient that in good time we will know. It doesnt sound like such a big thing to worry about, but if we at least knew where we were moving it would be easier. We still have some things to figure out about our lease when we do move, and money situations, and that in itself is a ball of stress, based on the difficult time we had moving in.  I also am so anxious to know when and where we are going because I want to get there and find a doctor!!! I am already 23 weeks and will be on the fast track to labor by the time we get settled, wherever we go.

School is something else that is ALWAYS a stressor to me.  Yes I will finish by my deadline, no matter how many people think otherwise. I just feel as though it never ends! Independent study sucks and would not suggest it. lol. I dont work and should be thankful that I have all the time in the world to finish. Ugh its just so boring and seems to take soooo long. Plus I have pressure from a million different directions and makes me that much more frustrated and unmotivated. I have two more months to finish and it cant come fast enough.

On a lighter note, Phillip has been working so hard and, geez, I could not be more proud of him.  I am so lucky to have a husband that wants to take care of his family and will do whatever it takes to do so.  He always has such a good attitude about his job and I know the Lord will bless him with such a wonderful future.  He is working long hours though and I do miss spending a lot of time with him. But he always reminds me, everyone has to pay their dues sometime.  The harder he works now, the more time with family in the future. Im such a lucky girl to have him.

Baby is doing well. I had a doctors appointment last week and heard his little heart beating away. Its such a wonderful sound. The only down side is the doc said that if I have not gained a lot of my energy back by now, I probably wont until after the baby is born.  Some women just take to pregnancy differently.  I am sooo exhausted all the time, but try to make the best of it : ) As long as he is healthy I can deal with being super sleepy.  We have friends from Oklahoma coming to visit in a few weeks, (phillips boys) and he cant wait. Man time is much needed. I am excited to see them too, lol, however I wish my girls were coming as well! I miss them and cant wait until May when we get to reunite! We have so much to celebrate and plan (birthdays, babies, weddings and just being back together!!! Congrats to my bestie Cass on getting engaged!!!!)  So excited for May.

All in all, we both know that God has the ultimate plan for us and He already has everything ready.  Its just a matter of trusting His promises and waiting for His timing.  In the hard times we realize that we have so much more than most people and find the need to be thankful for our blessings.  We appreciate prayers for what is to come!

Ciao Friends.
