Well it is without question there is something going on. Something to be excited about and something to celebrate. So in all of my excitement and hormonal glory don’t think of taking any of my food or asking me silly questions because I am known to bite as of late. Ok…well maybe I won’t really bite you. But I might bite your food if it looks enticing enough.

Hey speaking of food let’s get back on that topic. The following is a menu of this nonsensical meal I’ve created that jives very little together….

Worchestershire Steaks

Trofie Pasta with Tomato Sauce

Sweet Potato Fries

Makes absolutely no sense at all together. I know. But it does to me.

I’ve kept you in suspense long enough.

My husband and I recently sat down and prayed on what should be our next steps with life and surrendered to whatever he has planned for us. Out of fear of three previous miscarriages, for a very long time, I’ve said no to the possibility to welcoming more children. Naturally that would all make sense and saying no would be so easy. Wrong. The response we received to our prayer was that this is a very good time to grow our family and we just needed to trust in God’s plan for wanting to bless us without questioning the end outcome. That’s a big deal of obedience. But I’ve learned that my way is never any good and that God’s way will always be the only way, every time there after. We have a bit of news… So after taking the next step and waiting we have found out that we are….

Yes, we are PREGO! We are grateful. We feel totally blessed. And we wanted to share our joy with all of you.
