Great News!!

Well Andrew and I have some amazing news to share with y'all. We are officially pregnant!!!!! We are so excited. I'm not very far along though. I went to the doctor yesterday and they informed me I am only 5 weeks and 1 day (now 2 days) along. My due date is May 31st!!

I do ask a favor from you all, however. I have had a lot of pain in my stomach. On Saturday I went to the emergency room to make sure the baby was okay...and it is, praise the Lord! I just ask for prayer as this might be a rough pregnancy on me. But we are so thankful for this little miracle growing inside me!! I also have one more request. Please do not write anything on facebook about this as we are keeping it off due to my work. I am not going to tell my work until I have been there for 90 days. They can't fire me for being pregnant, but they can word around it if they like and I just don't want to give them that opportunity. I don't think I actually have informed y'all of my new job. I'm working at New England Center for Children. It's a school for autism kids. I'll be working with 16-22 year old boys. I'm really excited. I am still in hard core training and that alone is exhausting me. I truly feel I am back in college because I have had at least 1 test a day...last Thursday I had 5 tests!! I'm a little overwhelmed but am loving it!!

Anyway, thank you all in advance for all the love, prayers and support you have given to us. We love you and miss you very much!!!

Fabulous Week

I have had a really great birthday week. I came back from Texas after my adorable, healthy nephew was born. I had to work on Monday and had a job interview on Tuesday and was offered a job on this past Wednesday. I will be working for the New England Center for Children. This school is strictly for children with autism. It ranges from 3-22 years old. I am so excited. I officially start September 21st! They will train me in everything very extensively. I am also getting 5 weeks paid vacation with it! This has God's plan written all over it. Andrew and I feel very blessed for this opportunity! Thank you so much for everyone's prayers and concerns.

Then last night Andrew and I got a hotel room with a jacuzzi in the bedroom. I think I spent like 8 hours total in it lol. It was amazing!! Andrew kept asking me when I was going to get out, lol. It was the best birthday gift ever. It was a great get-away for the 2 of us.

I'm getting to know my softball team really well and members of the church so I am finally making my own friends up here. It takes forever because apparently new englanders are shut off to most people...shocking I know!! Anyway, I love you all very much and will talk to you soon!
