Testing

Hey everyone,

His is Rick. I am testing how posts from my iPhone work so that I can blog when Traci gives birth. Don't worry, we're not there yet but I think it will be in the next couple of days.

Over and out

Life As We Know It

It's been a pretty crazy few months for us. Actually it's been a crazy year. But here's what Rick and I have been up to recently...I wish I had pictures but I can't find my camera cord.

-We closed on our house at the end of April and spent the next 5 weeks tearing down the kitchen and a bedroom ceiling, slowly rebuilding and then painting anything and everything within these walls. It wouldn't have been possible without our families, friends and community group. We still have lots to do, but it feels more like our home now.

-My last day at the church office was May 22. I miss it but am definitely enjoying my new life as a stay at home wife (almost mom).

-We moved on May 30. Three or four weeks later, we finally had a sink and a working kitchen. I love it so much.

-My mom and sisters threw me the most beautiful baby shower. It was perfect.

-Rick and I took our "babymoon" to the Finger Lakes, NY. Let me tell you, Ithaca has some crazy people in it.

-We finally finished painting Lucy's room and moved all of the furniture in. It's beautiful. I wish it was my room.

-She should be here in a week or so!

You can pray for me. There is still a lot to do and I don't feel nearly as prepared as I would like to be. Add to that the drop in energy. So I would appreciate prayers and lots of them! Pray for these last days and that we would get everything done that is supposed to get done.

And pray for an uncomplicated labor and delivery, and most importantly a healthy baby girl!
