CA, here we come!

Jason & I are leaving tomorrow for CA! We are very excited. We are going to of course spend time with his family & some friends. Also while we are there, they are having a party to celebrate Jason's parents being married 30 years! We get to go to sea world while we are there, which I am very excited about! I have heard it's awesome & have always wanted to go. I will try to remember to take lots of pictures while we are there & post some of them on here when I get back.

Waiting..

Not too much is going on right now with the pregnancy. I am having really long days because of being super tired & sick most of the time. Thankfully the medicine I am on helps a lot with the sickness part but not with fatigue. I will find out more about the pregnancy in the future once the baby gets bigger & I have more appointments but right now it's kind of a waiting game.

We just got through our big youth event at church, "Youth Week, 2008." It went so well, & I was very encouraged last night while talking to several teens there. Several of them gave their testimony, shared what youth week meant to them, etc.. We had a great service. Last night a guy gave his life to God. We had been praying & waiting for that for a long time! We were & are so excited to see all the progress the kids are making & how God is just really working in their lives & making a huge difference in the decisions they make. Sometimes it's easy to feel like we are getting no where & even though I know that's not true, it's very encouraging to see some big steps that were taken.

Two weeks from this Saturday, (the 23rd) Jason & I are flying to CA to visit all of Jason's family as well as some friends. His parents will be married for 30 years so we are going to celebrate that with them. We are very excited. :-)

Scary Accident

On Wednesday I had to drop off the girls I watch, go run some errands, & then I was heading back home, only for a few minutes to head to the first night of youth week. I came to a stop light & when it turned green I was going straight, but a guy coming from the left side was running a red light. I didn't not see him at all at first but he sped up even more to run the red light & plowed into my car... Jason just happened to be two cars behind me, and was obviously freaking out. I got out of the car & the only thing that I have had to deal with is a burn on my right arm. I went to the DR. yesterday & he gave me some stuff for that & said to keep it wrapped. As far as the baby, he/she is totally fine. We got to see the heart beat so that was great to see & reassured us.

The guy got a ticket for running a red light, so thankfully his insurance will cover it. He came out lying but thankfully I had several witnesses that saw what happened & filled out papers for me.

That could have been a lot different, it came very close to hitting my door, & then I would probably not even be here right now. It really made us think, that we need to be serious with God at all times, always seeking a closer relationship with Him.
