God Is GOOD!!!

Anthony and I have had many changes over the past few months and there are plenty more to come. We have been so blessed in the past few months. I've had many worries and concerns with the arrival of our son in May, but with patience and God's love many things have fallen into place. Today we got a call from the manager at the apartment complex we were hoping to live at come April. The manager delivered good news, our application was accepted and we would be able to move into the apartment we wanted the first of April!!! This is a BIG stress reliever for the both of us. I will continue to count my blessings everyday. Life is good!!!

Timing Is Everything

Last night we started our childbirth/newborn care classes at the hospital where Hunter will be born. I scheduled our classes for every Tuesday night in February. Not realizing when I scheduled the classes that Tuesday night is the night we watch all our favorite shows together, oh no!!! On top of scheduling the classes on Tuesdays the start date was the 8th, this was the night of the Purdue vs. IU basketball game (which was played in West Lafayette). Needless to say Anthony was not excited about missing the game. I was looking forward to starting the classes and learning more information about labor and the hospital. Besides feeling awkward about being the youngest couple there, the class went as I expected.

After class was over we hurried to the car to catch the last few minutes of the game on the radio and before we got in the car I noticed the back tire was nearly flat. Being far from home with a flat tire in freezing temperatures wasn't something I was looking forward too. Luckily we were able to get air in the tire and made it home with no problems. 

When we got home I was exhausted and had a million things running through my mind. Realizing that timing is everything!!! In the next few months we have a lot of changes coming our way. The biggest (and best) change being the arrival of Hunter David Michael in the spring.  There are so many things to do before he arrives I was feeling a little overwhelmed. Once I was able to relax and remember that God will never give us more than we can handle. I felt much better and was once again excited about all the new changes coming our way :)
