Let's see... where to begin. I guess the biggest news, which most are aware of already, is that I am now 22 weeks pregnant with little Josiah Reese! He is due September 2nd. I had a pretty rough time up until about week 17, then the sickness and exhaustion began fading (finally!) Well, I'm still tired most of the time, but I only feel nauseous occasionally, usually if I had trouble sleeping the night before or something like that. Feeling lots of kicks and wiggles and loving EVERY moment of it. We definitely feel so blessed, and I think Jenna is going to be a wonderful big sister! She knows her baby brother's name, and, on occasion, will play "baby doctor" with people and listen to heartbeats. :D
Speaking of Jenna (how can I not!) She is doing FANTASTIC with potty training. We still have accidents every once in a while, but for the most part she is out of diapers except at night and some naptimes. I am so proud of how well she does! She is absolutely hilarious most of the time and full of spunk... talking ALL the time, climbing onto and jumping off of ANYTHING possible. She is such a joy to be around!
Today, Cameron is officially DONE with grad school. No more clients. No more papers. No more supervision. No more classes. D-O-N-E! I couldn't be more proud of how well he has done having a family and working (sometimes a full-time work load at Lowe's). I told him today I feel like I'm graduating with him, which I guess in a lot of ways I am. This was most definitely a team effort, and neither of us could have done it without the other. I am so thankful to have gone through such a wonderful growing and learning experience with him.Right now, we are definitely learning (again!) about faith. We move in less than a month and have absolutely NO idea where we will be going. Last night, Cam and I were talking about it. We've done this kind of transitioning so many times that we've really stopped worrying when it happens. God has never ever let us down before. He has always provided the perfect opportunity at the perfect time, and typically, it was not anything that we were expecting... it was far better. I'm definitely anxious, but more like a child waiting for Christmas morning to open a gift. He sees it sitting under the tree for days, maybe weeks, but never knows what is in it until that perfect moment when the time comes to open it up. I feel like that. Like there is some incredible gift God is waiting to reveal... but we have to just be patient and wait for His perfect timing. I wonder if God is as giddy with anticipation as I am when I've found the perfect gift for someone? Kind of a neat thought... the gift isn't just for us to experience. I have no doubt God finds immense joy in giving that gift.
Those are just some of the thoughts/emotions we've been facing lately. A lot of life changes... a lot of tears... a lot of stressful moments... but a lot of growth. And through it all, God has been completely faithful and GOOD.
