This new year Josh and I made the decision to embrace the adventure of everyday life as well as seek out new adventures. For Josh this meant pursuing two life long goals, running a marathon and climbing a mountain. So he's currently training for the San Francisco marathon on August 3 and he's climbing Mt. Shasta with Bay Area Wilderness Training and the money he raises for the trip will pay for inner city kids to go out into the wilderness and learn survival skills. Josh is particulary excited about this because its right up his alley and something he is passionate about.
That's a lot right? What am I pursuing you might ask? Well, in February we found out we're about to embark on one of the biggest adventures of all, parenthood. (Needless to say this process will be my adventure for the year and that's just fine by me, no marathons needed here.) We are currently 12 weeks along (we're calling baby plum this week as that is the size he/she is). We're due early October and I just have this feeling this baby might be born on our anniversary. We are ecstatic and looking forward to this special time. I had my first ultrasound last week, I wish I'd had a camera for Josh's face his jaw dropped and he couldn't believe he was seeing a little baby. It was precious, of course then baby starting moving around and kicking legs and arms and Josh was like, well, looks like baby is taking after me.
So stay tuned for continued updates and more adventures, there's much more to come.
"But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever! Amen. "2 Peter 3:18
