Babymoon!
Last week Chris and I were in Orlando, FL for our babymoon. It was a-mazing! A sweet couple in our church have a time share and gave us a free week to stay anywhere. We decided on Florida, after all we were dying to go to Harry Potter World and I just love Disney World. The condo was gorgeous and had two beautiful pools. (We went swimming almost every day, it was so hot and humid) It's crazy to think about how that will be our last big vacation with just the two of us. But, I can tell you that we really needed this time together. With both of us having pretty demanding jobs and a young church our days and nights are full. I loved having Chris's undivided attention the entire week and having him all to myself. We really had such a good time and I will always cherish this vacation and what a wonderful time we had together.

The times, they are a'changin
So, new blog, for new chapter of life. And for some reason I'm not able to log into my old blog so here we are.
The times, they really are changing and we're probably in-store for some more. For those who don't know, Chris is now the full time pastor at Refuge Community Church. I mean, he's always been the full time pastor, but he also had another full time job at the Denver Rescue Mission. In May, we started praying and talking about him leaving that job and just focusing on church. The good thing was, I also got a new job at the end of March that came with a big raise, so the finances were there, but it was still a big decision.We'd be living on one income with a little assistance from the church which would mean that we'd have to cut back in some areas and would really be forced to stick to our budget.(Something we're not really great at) But, it seemed like God was really leading us to do this, so we took the leap. And on the Chris's last day at the Mission, we found out that we were pregnant! WE. WERE. SHOCKED. Many of you know it has been a hard and long road to getting pregnant and we definitely don't think it was a coincidence that we found out when we did.
We are now living our new normal. Chris is working from home, networking, meeting with church people and non-church people and really loving his new job. He is so much happier and that makes this girl happy. I am now 17 weeks along in the pregnancy. And besides the horrible morning sickness that I endured the first trimester, I feel awesome now. We leave for our vacation or babymoon next Saturday and generally we are just loving life.
Join me for bump pictures, funny stories and document this fun time.
