ANOTHER MONTH HAS PASSED

Left for a few days the first week in August to get dropped off in Knoxville, TN. Michele and I had a pretty good trip there and then she continued on. I spent a few days with my friend Ann and her son Will and their friend Keiji and met their friends Patricia and Frank. It was a restful blessed few days at her house. She gave me a few Chiropractic adjustments as a baby shower gift. Very relieving.

Then I took a bus from Knoxville to Nashville where my friends the Weiberts picked me up and took me to Evansville, Indiana for a few days stay. Overwhelming me with baby clothes and cloth diapers they had collected for me and other things Angie has made.

Spent time with my little Mama friend, Carmen. She is so motherly to me, it amazes me. I love her so much. I am exceedingly thankful for our friendship and close heart connection.

Had an awesome AWESOME visit with my friends Bart and Jeff and Kara! The pure goodness of the Lord moves me to tears and overflowing joy every time. I love them so much.

Enjoyed the road trip and time spend with the Weibert's as always and were blessed to have the time with them that i had. They drove me to St Louis to meet up with Dylan...where we took the moX shuttle back to Columbia.

I am about to be 35 weeks on Sunday... and getting my mind set on what is coming down the road and trying to focus more on what is right in front of me and not be so scattered. Thank you Lord that you are my Abundant Peace.

31 WEEKS

Only a few more weeks to go before we meet the baby. Walking, reading, sitting at Cooper Landing with Dylan, watching the sun go down on the water. 

BABY NOBLE

So we went to Foley Alabama and saw our five nephews there. My beautiful Sister Melanie had her fifth little one JAMES NOBLE CARVER. It was good to spend a week with them. Enjoyed time at the farm in Lillian, Alabama with Leon and Pauline Liechty as well. We sure have missed them. It was So good to be home.

Highlight for me was getting to see my brother Michael. I've missed him so much and my heart was filled to overflowing to see his face and hear his heart. I love him and the journey of his heart and mind is so genuine and unique. The Lord has been faithful to father him all the days.

23 WEEKS ALONG

I have said multiple times I will try to do better at keeping up with this blog. Here's my attempt at keeping you all posted.

At this time I am preparing to go see my sister Melanie who will be giving birth at any moment to her #5 child, they are pretty certain it is a HE. I am very excited to see my other nephews when I come, and very very joyful to meet my new nephew.

Meanwhile, Dylan and I are finding stuff to do in Columbia. Still attempting to visit with family members we haven't seen in a while. We have yet to make any huge public announcements that I am 23 weeks along with our first child. We are not wanting to know the sex of the baby until our precious one is born. Yes, we are both so blessed that the Lord has entrusted us with this little one. wow... it's been an amazing few months of adjusting our minds to the realization of what is born out of living life and loving one another. It's fun to be getting a promotion at the same time. Our names are about to change from Dylan and Marcie to Dad and Mom. The Lord is gracious indeed. His timing is perfect. His ways far past our comprehension. We are about to understand His love in ways we never could have before.

I miss my other nieces and nephews, Kinsley, Reagan, Noah, Audrey, Jackson, and Cole. Hoping we'll see them somehow over the next few weeks over the summer.

COLUMBIA, MO

So we have been here for a few weeks so far, visiting with friends and family. Started job training for 'direct care giver' for some guys with behavioral issues. Learning a lot through the process. Realizing what we are and are not capable of.  Aside from the pending job, I have been working a few days a week helping out in an office setting, assisting an HR person who is very delightful to work with.

TAKING THE CAR APART

Work needs to be done on the car, Dylan's the man to do it!

COUNT DOWN BEGINS

7 days until we leave. Getting the car worked on today. Saying goodbye to a few more friends. Plenty to do. Little time. Pray for us. New Address to reach us:  404 Stalcup Street   Columbia, MO 65203   Our cell phone will begin working again on the 17th.
