6 Months Pregnant!

Finally in my 3rd trimester:) Only 3 more months to go and we are very excited! I definitely don't feel ready yet for the baby to be here, but we are working on the room and discussing names currently. So far I've been very blessed because it's been a healthy pregnancy w/no complications! Praise God!

Our first house!

We closed on our first house Sept 14th! We feel so blessed with what God has provided for us with in just the 1st two years of our marriage. It's been a very exciting adventure for us...but also very tiring. We have been doing lots of painting/improvements inside so I will wait to post before and after pictures of the inside. Here are some pictures of the outside though!

John and Sabitha's Wedding!

Dan's brother John & Sabitha got married on October 3rd! We flew to Texas for the wedding and Dan was in it. They had a beautiful wedding and we really enjoyed getting to see all the family:)
Congratulations!!!

Visit to Ohio!

I was able to go back to Ohio to visit friends and family at the end of September. I had such a great time getting to see everyone! My friends/family threw a baby shower for me and it helped tremendously with preparing us with some of the things we will be needing for the baby:)

New Job!!!

Well, Dan got a new job working at Fort Carson Middle School. He will still be teaching history, but no more high schoolers. We feel so blessed that he was able to get a job in a public school with retirement and a pay raise. It will definitely be helpful now that we have a baby on the way! Here are a couple pics of his new school! It's huge for a middle school and it's pretty new! Praise God!

Visitors!!!

Our friends David and Heather from Ohio came out to visit and vacation in Colorado! I think they had a great time, but seemed to be a little exhausted by the end from all the camping. They took a couple of days to relax at our place at the end of their vacation before they headed back. We went camping while they were here and had such a great time! They also hiked Mt Huron with Dan (a 14er). They made it to about 13,500 ft before getting elevation sickness. We felt so bad, but they did great!!! Here are some pics of our fun times while they were here!

Warming up by the fire:)

Making spaghetti over the stove and garlic bread....yum:)

Having a GREAT time in the wilderness!

Enjoying our time together which seems to be few and far between now....
Little blurry.....

This is the start of the trail at about 6am on the way up Mt Huron

No, I did not hike the 14er....I'm only allowed up to 11,000 ft being pregnant so I hiked as far as I could with them and then turned around....still very early in the morning!
Dan went on by himself after they got sick.
Here he is at the summit of Mt Huron!
This is Mt Princeton Hot Springs. We came here that night to relax in the warm water.

Not only were there hot springs in the river, but also hot springs pools. David and Dan enjoying the hot water on their sore muscles after the hike!
