Buhler...Buhler...Buhler

I got the funniest card from my Aunt De...to give you little history first, though, growing up in Buhler, KS during the years of Ferris Bueller's Day Off movie was a set up for the scene of Bueller missing school that day and his teacher (Ben Stein) saying: "Bueller....Bueller...Bueller" in the most monotone voice. Anyways, somehow my aunt De found a card that had Ben Stein's voice saying that and she wrote how we need to head to Buhler sometime. It made me laugh so hard. How do you find a card like that? Thanks for making my day aunt De!

With God All Things are Possible

Have I lost all of my blogging friends yet? Ok, so I was watching "Facing the Giants" last week. It's kind of a cheesy movie, but it reminded me of the miracles God did in our life. As most of you know, the same day that Paul made Colonel, the Lord laid it on my heart to take a pregnancy test...very random. I did and it was positive! So I am in the 13th week and in the thick of nausea, needless to say, haven't had the energy/wellness to blog or call most people. But, we are extremely thankful for this little one. It has been a rough road, though, so far. I don't think I have ever been this sick in my life and have had 1 scare of miscarriage. God keeps giving me Ps. 121: I am Your Protector, I will not slumber or sleep and I will protect you from all harm. 2 weeks ago I heard the fast little heartbeat on the doppler and baby kept kicking the doppler monitor--he is making himself known! I always wondered if I would experience all of this and it just doesn't seem for real. :)

One hard part about this was we were matched with a little boy from India a week or two after we found out we were pregnant. As the India director was telling us about the little guy, I told her our latest news and she said we couldn't accept the match. That was tough, but wise on her part, especially how sick I am now. But, we do get to stay on the list and resume the adoption process after the baby is born. Life could get busy around here!

Thanks family and friends for your love and shoulders to cry on and listening ears and prayers as we have walked all of this out. It's so exciting!
