Today is Wally and my 4th anniversary. Part of me feels like the years have flown by, and the other part feels like we're just beginning! We have had so many adventures in our four years as husband and wife...and God has always proven Himself as our abundant provider. There is no way we could make it without the relationships we have with our Creator.
Being our anniversary, I thought I'd take the opportunity to brag about my hubby a bit. He is amazing. If you know him, you know how contagious his passion for life and God is. He brings joy and fun to all we do, and is a constant reminder to me to praise God for what we have. He loves reading and talking...two things you'll understand well if you spend any time with him at all. He often reads to me in bed snipits of what he's reading...and patiently wakes me up when I fall asleep listening to him. :) (Sorry babe) Wally has a creative spirit, a loving heart, and a huge soft spot for his family. He has already told his unborn child that country music is from the devil, and prefers to listen to anything with meaningful lyrics. He quizzes me on who sings what song...and smirks when I never know the answer. He hates eating at the dinner table, but does it for me anyway. :) His favorite food is gummies, which he is pretty sure should be its own food group. He has a way of making everyone feel welcome in our home...something I couldn't appreciate more. He makes time for people in his life, and makes me feel like the most important person in the world. Wally is the greatest husband--I can't imagine having a better mate to journey through life with! I praise God for giving me the honor of being Wally's wife...I know we have many more adventures in this life to share!
I LOVE YOU WALLY!

It's been a fun and busy winter around here! I'm six and a half months preggers now, and beginning to feel the awkwardness that comes with getting bigger EVERY DAY! :) Pregnancy has been great during the second trimester, and I'm looking forward to seeing what the third trimester brings!
Wally had a contract offered to publish his book...we're not positive we'll go with this first company, but it is awesome to know that one way or another his book will be published! He is so great. :)
We are constantly working on house projects, of course. The backyard has been overhauled and we're looking next at some new windows, a dishwasher, and finishing the family room floor! Wally has been a good sport through all the projects...he hardly complains. ;)
We would love your prayers as we enter a very new phase in our lives...job changes, baby coming, basically our entire lives as we know them changing drastically. Pray that we would be obedient to the call God has placed on our lives and that we would make wise decisions.

As I wrote my last post I had incredibly exciting news that I was completely unaware of! Wally's already spilled the beans on his blog, but I wanted the fun of writing it myself. We're having a baby!
We're due in early September, which I fully realize means I'll be enormous the entire summer. An air conditioning window unit is being worked into the budget. :) I am excited about having a late summer/early fall baby...I love that time of year.
So as we get ready for this next phase in our lives (a long phase, to be sure) we are in lots of prayer; prayers of health, prayers of thanks, and prayers of provision. We are trusting God to lead us as we begin the journey of parenthood...

In His grip,
Sarah
