Ok, so I have never done anything like a blog before which I am sure is what most people say when they post something for the first time. I am excited that we now have a forum to share our lives with the people we love. I am sure in time I will become more adept at posting pictures and other such interesting things, but for now, my words are all that I have.
Something I will share now is that I am so excited about becoming a parent. Being pregnant has been a whirlwind of emotions for me. As most people know, Frank and I lost our first baby, so getting pregnant again was something that brought about a lot of ambivalence. Even though we are sad to have lost a child, we are thrilled to now be eagerly anticipating Caroline's arrival. She is due to arrive on June 18th, and I can't wait to see what she looks like. Since this pregnancy was considered high risk in the beginning we have had the privilege of seeing Caroline 6 times on an ultrasound. At this point, she is absolutely beautiful.
Along with the excitement of being pregnant, Frank and I are also excited about our recent move to the Austin area. I grew up in San Antonio, so leaving my home town has been extremely difficult, but I know that God has something in store for us that will be to his glory. Frank has become a partner in his family's business, and I am starting my new role as a stay at home wife. I must admit that I am apprehensive about this new job of mine because I am one of the least domestic types I know. I know God can still use me in spite of my lack of wifely qualities. However, I will hopefully be starting my graduate work again this next year. As nerdy as it sounds, I can't wait to go back to school. Teaching for two years has made me realize that I enjoy being a student more than I enjoy being a teacher.
Ok, well that is all I have for now.
