The New Point


Back by popular demand is this, our new blog. I was so surprised and humbled by the number of people who said they missed it and wanted to hear updates from us. I have never been much of a blogger so the whole idea of this took awhile to get used to and then after Bolivia I just didn’t see any point.

However, we have a new “point” coming in about a month and a half.  I know family and friends will want to see pictures and adventures of our new addition and therefore, the point of starting our blog again. Same blog, same people, different name. Thanks for being interested and willing to come back!



Our update is this. Andy and I are now BACK in Waukesha, WI like I posted before. Andy is finishing up his last year at NTBI. We so enjoyed our time in Kansas. It couldn’t have been better. I traveled with my mom and Andy worked long hours landscaping and working with the youth at church. We kept really busy but were so blessed by the people there in that community. I miss my family already. It was nice to have them so close.

So, back in Waukesha. We have an apartment ON CAMPUS which was a huge surprise and blessing. Also Andy has a job working at Dairyland which is amazing. He’ll have so much more free time to be with me and bambino. I can’t wait. My job plans are…at this point on hold. I want to stay home and be a mom and get used to things before I add something else to my plate. I think I am going to miss having and income and feeling like I contribute to our family. It will be quite an adjustment and I hope I have contentment in that.

So far things with baby are going good. HE, yes a boy, is due October 4 and so far growing right on schedule. We have learned that it is probably not the wisest things to have 3 different health care providers over the course of a pregnancy. I felt really awful catching up the doctor who will be delivering our little man. Everyone has been so nice here but I definitely felt like they would have every right to be a little peeved. Here I am, due in seven weeks and laying all my paper work in their laps and expecting them to pick up the pieces and make it work. :/ Not very nice of me. I’m thankful for their patience.

Ok well, I guess that’s as good an update as any…We have exactly two more boxes to unpack and then we are officially MOVED IN! Oh, and two shelves to hang. Pictures of the apartment will come soon! Andy and I were just saying how great it feels to have a place for our family to be…it really does feel like home. We feel so blessed.
