Both of my baby showers were so wonderful. We were so blessed to get so much stuff for Asher - and such a wide variety too! Almost no duplicates, and some of the real essentials that we feared we would be spending lots of $$$ on. We definitely recognize the blessing of the Lord in this time... I don't know what we would be doing if we hadn't so generously received from all of you... probably freaking out!
Anyway, I had a shower in Yamhill that my mother-in-law helped arrange and then my Mom in Coos Bay put one together as well. I definitely am set on clothes for at LEAST the first 9 months of Asher's life :-) And Tracy (sis) and her bf bought us the stroller we really wanted... I can't wait to use it!
Everything is going pretty well - just work for Mark, me working for Jeanne and doing a few random photo shoots on the side. I did some photos for the Valentine's Dinner that Calvary Chapel in McMinnville put on. It was really great, and I learned some incredibly valuable lessons about doing photo work in that type of atmosphere.
Oh, about Mark's work. He's looking at another job within the company... there are some lose ends that may or may not work out but it would be a great opportunity (especially if we could get the salary we need) but it's all really up in the air right now. If you don't mind praying, we can really use any prayer we can get!
I'm sleeping a bit better - probably just from all the activity and running around getting things in order :-) But I'll take the sleep as it comes - I'm sure to find a shortage of it again soon! But we're really excited to be in the final month... we're not sure what to expect and it's funny thinking it could just start any day now. I have so many plans but I'll have to just relax and trust that God knows when the perfect day is for Asher to arrive!
Alright, that's it for now... thanks again for all your generous giving... we are so blessed!
