Good News Galore!

I realize how horrible I have been with keeping our blog updated. Our last entry just left you hanging, wondering what our future holds! Did Andrew get accepted? Well, let's face it, anybody who actually reads this will already know the answer, but just in case.....

Andrew was accepted! Andrew ended up getting a second interview in late February and received word about a week later that he had been accepted to Bethlehem College and Seminary as a Master's student on a provisional basis. Provisional basis meaning Andrew has to pass his Greek entrance exam before officially becoming a master's student at BCC! So began Andrew's studying, and so he continues to study hard almost daily as he tries to brush up on his Greek and prepare to take the test. I am certain he will do well, but we will definitely keep you all updated on that front as time goes on. He takes the test in late June, I believe, so if you think of it, keep him in your prayers!

A second round of good news was awaiting our family just one week after we found out Andrew had been accepted. Once again, you probably already know, but...

Baby #3 is on his/her way! Yeah, we were probably as shocked as you are, as we were not planning this little bundle of joy. We were hoping to have more children, but thinking at least getting Andrew halfway through his master's before that happened. But as you all know, God's plans are often not our plans! So we rejoice that the Lord has blessed us with another pregnancy and are looking forward to meeting this little one in November! :) As is the norm for my pregnancies apparently, I have been very sick with morning sickness...or rather, all-day sickness. The first several weeks after I spent pretty much flat on my back with the exception of trips to the toilet to throw up. Thanks to my doctor and the wonders of modern medicine, I have been on a prescription that has helped a great deal with my nausea and I have not been throwing up near as much! Still I am looking forward to getting out of my first trimester and ready to catch my second wind in the second trimester and get back to feeling more like myself!

Well, I wish I had some pictures to post. Unfortunately, we just bought a new computer and all our photos remain on our old computer. Until we transfer those photos, we will just have to do what we can! :) I am hoping in the next day or two (really, I am going to try!) to put up a post on some things the Lord has been teaching me in my mothering and how he has been working in my heart as of late. So stay tuned! Until then, I hope you have a blessed Easter weekend, celebrating the resurrection of Christ the Lord! Be blessed!
