Moved In
Well Frank and I are in Austin this week, and I am slowly getting our new home put in order. We will be back and forth between here and San Antonio over the next two months. We have decided to keep our doctor in SA and deliver Caroline there. We are excited about having our baby in a place where we know so many wonderful people. Soon I will be posting pictures of our new house.

New Beginnings
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.
