Tough Times

So, I really do not want to be writing this because that seems to make it all real. Today Amy woke up and she was complaining that she was having bad cramps and she was having pelvic pains. She called her doctor's after hours clinic and left a message, soon after we received a call from the doctor's nurse. Amy described her symptoms and the nurse said just to relax and they would look at it on Monday. After a while we decided that her symptoms were bad enough to merit us going to the emergency room. We went there and after the doctors ran a few tests. They came in shortly after and let us know that we had a miscarriage. A lot of emotions are running through our minds right now, and we can't help but wonder why it had to be us. Our faith in God remains undeterred, and we know all things works on his time schedule not on ours. We just wish that we would not have told so many people about the pregnancy. Now we are just reminded of how bad it hurts to tell those same people that no we will not be having a baby (not yet anyways). This is a rough patch for us, please pray for us to remain strong in our faith.

Time For a Change (part 4)

So Sunday I was talking to my mother in the garage when Amy busts into the door and starts yelling "hang up the phone, hang up the phone". So I do and in the back of my mind I am thinking crap we have a snake in the house and I am going to have to kill it (for those of you who don't know I am terrified of snakes). So I say what's the matter and she hugs me and says "I'm pregnant". I could not believe it, so I was a little taken back and left speechless.

I am so incredibly happy though. I have not been able to stop smiling since Amy broke the news to me. I think I am still in disbelief somewhat. What great timing though, we just moved into a house that can accomodate a baby whereas our other house would have been too small. I just got a job to support us financially better than my previous job and if Amy's calculations are correct the baby will be born the beginning of summer and with Amy being a teacher she will be able to spend the 1st 3 months off of work without financial repercussions. The Lord is certainly blessing us and stand in awe of him.

So get ready world, Baby Bryan is on the way. If he/she takes after momma there will be no problems, but if he/she takes after poppa I feel bad for the parents of that poor child :)

First Day & Changed Minds

The first day of the new job was excellent. I basically get to sit at a computer and make money for fulfilling a dream that a sick kid has. I have officially turned into a pansy, I sat down to watch some of the stories and my heart broke with the parents and it soared with the children thats wishes were fulfilled thank in part to this charity. After watching that, it was apparent where I needed to be, so I canceled my interview with the NBA and I all in with Make A Wish. More to come soon!
