A Few More Details

Thank you for all your comments and well wishes. We are very excited for this new chapter in our life. A few quick details since many of you asked. I am about 13 weeks along, and so far everything looks good. We've been given a due date of February 21st. I feel pretty lousy most of the time, but I am hopeful I will begin to feel better soon. Thank you for all the prayers and so much support. We are enjoying our remaining few weeks before Chris starts school in September. We feel like many new and exciting changes are ahead.

I have to share with everyone, one of Chris' goals before school started was to run a marathon. He did it. He and a buddy went to Vegas over the weekend, they ran the Extraterrestrial Full Moon Midnight Marathon at Area 51. It sounded painful and difficult, but they had a great time and both finished. I'm so impressed by their determination, it is quite an accomplishment. Chris is walking a little pained this week, but thinks someday he will run another.

As for me while Chris went to Vegas, I went to Northern California with my parents. We stayed with my grandparents and went to a party my cousin was having. They live on a beautiful farm outside Santa Rosa, Phoenix Farm. It was fun to see all they have accomplished in the two years they have lived there. They now have 21 horses they take care of, goats, miniature donkeys, dogs, cats, etc. It was great to see my family and their beautiful home. Unfortunately my camera battery died, I will have to get photos from my mom

Ah, yes. Details are a definite bonus! Did anyone play photographer for Chris' marathon to capture his last minute sprint across the finish line? That's a great accomplishment.
