Momentum, baby

It has certainly been awhile & there are lots of updates to make note of. First, tomorrow is our 6th anniversary. We are happy this weekend to have much of nothing going on. We are going to collectively get some things done & mostly just be together & relax. Here is someting I am REALLY excited for-- Labor Day's forecast. A "cold" front is coming through & Labor Day will be in the 80's. That's what I'm talking about!!! YES! We will do some grilling when the weather is cooler-- hopefully we'll get a little creative & have some fun eating good food.

On to other news--

We are expecting child #2! I am 9 1/2 weeks along & due March 30th. I couldn't be more excited and know that God knows the perfect timing. Zoe will be a wonderful big sister as she already is a great helper & just dotes on babies. I have been feeling pretty good which I am thankful for. Had a scary reaction to one of the meds they perscribed me, but because of that got a med that worked even better... and haven't even needed it much!!

Come Oct. 1, we will be renting a house. We got a great deal on renting it. It's 4 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, lots of room. The look of the house is a tad dated, but with the great deal, all the room, the ability to have pets, etc, we are totally excited. To boot, we might get a free golden retreiever puppy!! I'm thinking ICHIBAN... hmmm...

I started a new job with our church, Life Journey. It is starting with a 90-day trial so they & I can feel out everything. I am the Director of Creativity, Community & Communication. Month 1 is just ending now and I feel like the ball is just getting rolling.

And let's not forget about Matt starting a rock show at KAXL. It's called LEVEL 6 RADIO-- based on Psalm 150 & specifically verse 6 "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord." The show has gone immensely well & I am proud of Matt's work & excited he can have something he can truly take ownership over. It's on Saturdays from 8-10 PST. You can listen locally at 88.3 or worldwide at kaxl.com/listen

There are several things that I am looking forward to:

Celebrating our anniversary this weekend & next
My birthday later in Sept :) I am looking forward to the lasagna matt will make me :)
Joining my parents in San Fran in October and hopefully my mom visiting after
My sister-friend Sheena getting married to her love, Brian on Nov. 1!
Thanksgiving adventures
Christmas trip to the midwest
Hopefully some art classes this fall
Also love to have Zoe do Fun Sports again or some classes at American Kids

I think that's about all
