Babymoon and blues

Last week Josh and I celebrated our 2nd year anniversary ! He totally suprised me by whisking me away to Appleton for a little "babymoon" getaway. We went to our favorite restaurant, the Melting Pot (if you've never been you have got to try it - the atmosphere is very romantic and the food is not only fun because it is all fondue, but it is absolutely delicious!) We had a blast sitting in our little corner booth and playing with our food and cracking eachother up (all in a very mature manner of course ;) Then we stayed the night and spent the next day shopping and just enjoying each other's company. The only disappointment was the migraine that decided to grace me shortly after dinner and lasted most of the night (NOT fun! Regular Strength tylenol is worthless with these). However, my sweet guy was there from packing my head with ice to getting up at 6am for dry toast to settle my stomach - he is so the best! It's hard to believe that it has already been 2 years. . . It just keeps getting better!

I remember our wedding day as truly the happiest and most fun day of my life! I smile just thinking about it. I think the thing that I am most thankful for about Josh is the fact that He truly seeks God with his whole heart and wants to please Him more than anything. He is constantly pointing me to Christ. He is so kind and patient with me even in the midst of my many failures =) and I know he is going to make a great daddy!

Ok - little change of subject - I am officially 10 days away from going to the hospital to be induced. The nursury is nearly done, we have the carseat and all other baby paraphanalia so all we need is our baby! I am praying that she will come early on her own or at least be near that point so that everything is not so forced, but I am also trusting God and he knows what is best. So if you think about it I would appreciate your prayers!

bits and pieces. . .

I guess it's been a while since I last blogged! Summer is winding down here in the Northwoods; Camp is over and students will start coming this next week for pre-season! I can't believe how fast the summer has gone by - I'm thinking it would be nice to have a least another month =) But I am enjoying the last few weeks that are left. This last week my cousin' Matt and Joanna Egerdahl moved in next door! We have already had so much fun and I am looking forward to having them around for the next couple years while Matt finishes grad school.

Josh and I have been busy with work (which I am sooooo ready to be done with), church and getting things ready for the baby. The Lord has been showering us with reminders of his goodness and his promise to provide for all of our needs. Last week I was feeling a little discouraged about the mounting bills involved with having a high risk pregnancy and then with the realization of all the baby needs that are coming up. It has been so neat to see how God has truly been providing for all our needs from unexpected money gifts to bags of diapers. I am in awe of how personal our God is - He truly does care for what may seem like the smallest things in my life . . .what a comforting reassurance of His love and grace.

Well, the baby's nursery is about have done. . .got all the furniture and bedding (great deal on ebay!) So now we just need a few finishing touches! I will post pics when it's all done. (which hopefully will be soon!) Only a little less than three weeks!
