This has been a hard year... Well, I am not just speaking about 2008, but really since Isabel was born in October. As most of you know, she had some trouble at birth with breathing on her own and a bacterial infection which kept her in the Special Care nursery at Lexington Med. Center for 2 weeks. That was a hard time not knowing what was happening and such (though now we know she was really going to be just fine and has no long term issues!). Right after that was Christmas and the whirlwind that is traveling and spending time with family (as much as we love it, it is tiring). We made some hard decisions in early January about our future and Chris' work. Plus, Chris has been working so diligently and hard to finish up his Master's Degree. We enjoyed some vacationing in May, but were hit almost the moment we got home with the first of our many blows... not to go into a lot of detail, but we were disappointed with life on many levels during the month of May. Job turn downs, not being able to complete Graduate school just yet, another job turn down, and the prospects not looking so good. All in all, we feel the hand of God even ever so slightly holding us up in the midst of our storm. He just asks for our faith to keep our eyes on Him.
May did bring with it a joyous occasion... Sarah, Chris' little sister got married to a wonderful, godly man, Dan Hagensen! We enjoyed a few crazy fun filled days in PA for the event and were blessed to be a part of that day!
Well, I guess I will sign off for now, but would ask that you keep us in your prayers as we sort out our different situations in life... We truly value your thoughts for us!
