Long Overdue Update

Well, I have to apologize for being such a bad blogger.. Jared was really great about updating while we were in Turkey.. and now the burden falls to me. You would think that I would have all the time in the world to update since I am a stay at home "soon to be mom".. but somehow my days fill up and I don't make it to the computer. So here I am - I don't have any pictures, but promise to post some THIS WEEK! I am not sure I really want my expanding belly to be broadcast over outerspace but oh well!

So what is new with us? Well lots! We have found a house and are set to close on the 29th of February, thanks for all who prayed with us for that. It is a really cute house set on a cul de sac and does not need much work - just some paint I think. We hope to move in right after we close.

Jared started work - yeah! He is the new Singles Pastor at Pinelake Church, our home church, in Brandon, MS. He loves it and is so excited to be working with such a great group of staff out there. He is learning a lot and meeting tons of new people but enjoying each moment so far! I am so proud for him!

The baby is doing great. Growing daily I think. When we first arrived home I had high blood pressure and a few other complications but with some close watching by the doctor everything has worked itself out and I am healthy as can be! I am definitely getting more uncomfortable by the day but for the most part feel great. We are anxious to meet our new baby and have less than 8 weeks to go! Thank you for praying for us as we await the arrival of our new addition.

Generally - we are getting adjusted to life back in the states and have loved being around family and friends and feeling their love and support. God has been so gracious to us to provide for us during every step in this process.

Check back soon for pics!

You look great! I completely understand about being uncomfortable and thinking I can't get any bigger! But I hate to tell you - you will get bigger! I love the house. Glad you all found a place. We also bought a house. Hopefully it will be finished the first of April. Tell Jared hello for us.
Love, Elizabeth
