Right Now...

Right now...including since I last wrote, Life has happened.
* we said our goodbyes and prepped the house to be sold (big undertaking)
* found out we're pregnant again, this time with a child :)
* I was so busy cleaning and packing that I pretty much did nothing else
* worked up until March - moved beginning of March
* was quite overwhelmed for about 3-4 weeks (still somewhat)
* God provided an awesome townhouse with plenty of room (although I miss the extra *space*)
* we have an ubber quiet neighbor that we've never met, connected with our kitchen wall
* Ian has adjusted and so have I to staying home with him
* put in for a job at Miami Valley Hospital and in 15 min was called and in one week had the interview, the next week was offered the job - am due to begin May 7th
* decided not to pursue Marriage & Family Therapy and doing counseling yet
* restarted running again and have a better base now and am so grateful to be able to run while pregnant!
* my grandpa died and we were close by which was such a blessing and I have visited grandma now about once a week with Ian
* 18 weeks pregnant! and just ran 7 miles this morning at 10:00 pace while going to garage sales in the rain, thunder and hail :)
* meeting new friends through running, life and kids
* Mark is doing well with balancing family and new ministry responsibilities and challenges
* we find out the baby's gender in 2 weeks & Ian is now more aware of this new idea
* the revelation that when staying at home you have twice the amount of dishes!!! and it seems laundry
* can't fit into most of my clothes (this is early for me)
* Ian flew his first kite!!
* Ian rode his tricycle at least a half mile down the sidewalk in our neighborhood all by himself
* our kitties transitioned well and have their own spot in the townhouse where they can hide if need be :)
* our new church family is pretty amazing and I have been very impressed with meeting a lot of the women with how much I like them and how real they are
* we have a buyer for the house and about ready to close any day now once their loan comes through
* currently looking at the housing market and scoping out neighborhoods and considering schools
* all in all RIGHT NOW is such a blessing of a time and when I begin full-time work life is going to flip but we'll get used to it again
