It was a lot of fun to tell our church all of our exciting news today. I stood up during the time that people often share their news, good and bad, and ask for prayer. I told everyone we had finally sold our house, and everyone cheered us on. It felt really really amazing, because I know there are people in the group who have been praying for us. I told them that our goal was to be starting our build in six months at the latest, and I then told them that we would be expecting our fourth child right around then. It was met with the same reaction as the first bit of news 🙂 I can safely speak for my family when I say we felt very loved and celebrated. It was so lovely to have such a good sized group excited for our family to grow, and to be closer. We also hope that, by spreading the news, we’ll have a bit more of a hope that someone will have an idea of where we can rest our heads for the upcoming months while we wait for our home.
We spent the afternoon mostly at home with my parents, but enjoyed a tea date with some friends from WAY back in the day. I don’t think we’ve seen them in around six years, and it was really really nice to catch up for a bit today. But for the most part, we hung out at my parents while the kids got their fill of grandma and grandpa. Its been a while since they’ve spent a day there, and now its all decorated for Christmas and very exciting. We ate incredibly yummy food (Brady and I both overeat there at every visit) and the company wasn’t half bad either 😉 It was a truly lovely Sunday.
Tomorrow is unscheduled (yay!) but I think Brady will work a shorter day than the last little while, so it’ll be really nice to see him sooner than usual. Maybe we’ll actually get to all of the many things we have to do this week! Wrapping gifts, baking, packing, researching, etc. Lots and lots and lots to do! At least its all exciting stuff 🙂
We really like your company too 🙂 Love you so much!
We love you too!! It was a great day 🙂
