Why I say that is all the change and new life taking place in our life (and a lot of other people's lives around us!)
Jordan and I found out a few weeks ago that we're going to be parents! It's still early, so we're just waiting and praying, but I definately feel the effects of a little fetus growing in my belly. Our first appointment isn't until Nov. 11, (happy birthday Caleb!) so we'll keep you updated.
In regards to having a baby, we'll be out of a place to live within 8 weeks (it's odd, but our landlord doesn't allow children as well as pets???). After only a week of a little anxiousness and wondering where we'll live, God provided a great place for us! It's another apartment, but it's much more spacious and new, and bright...Jordan will also be able to keep his dog with him! What a huge blessing!
At the moment, we are enjoying time with my Mom, Mary Kate, Abi, and Micah...it's so great having family around and makes me a little homesick. They came up on Friday in time for my birthday and they're staying through tomorrow.
This month is promising to be a busy one as we have 2 weekends taken up with youth activities, Thanksgiving with Susanna(huzzah!), and moving!
Just a side note, when I said new life taking place in ours and other's lives...I meant it. There are currently 6 women just in my town who are pregnant, and 2 cousins, a sister and sister in law, and Jordan's sister just had a baby. I have a theory that God is in the process of creating a new generation to take over the world.

I like your theory hehe!! congratulations on the baby that is so wonderful! And I love the name Olivia I have wanted to name our first daughter that since well forever!!
Yay I'm so excited for you guys! Things seem to be going great for you both. That is awesome that you'll be able to live somewhere soon that allows both pets AND people! You'll have to let us know how your 1st baby appointment goes. Being pregnant is exciting, and a little nauseating ;) I've been feeling the baby move since I was 16ish weeks along, now I'm 19 and the movements get stronger and stronger. Oh, and we'll find out the gender in 4 days! =) We'll be praying for you.
That's cool you decided to wait! Caleb really wanted to wait but we both knew I wouldn't be able to =) Our appointment is thursday afternoon. We'll call you as soon as we find out! How was your birthday?
i read your comment on calebs blog, and was confused until i read yours!!! congrats...that makes....a TON of pregnant people...darby, rebekah, ashley, you..and sarah (at least for a few more days eh?...wow)
CONGRATS. i know you've been wanting this for awhile...school working out still?
LOVE you guys.
glad to hear that sanna's coming for Thanksgiving. sorry we didn't make it out. you know how life happens. i like to overextend ourselves, and jake's there to bring me back to reality...I love how God brings balance in relationships eh?.
I am so happy for you! It is great to see how God provides! It is a bummer that you just spend all that time decorating your place to end up moving. I am sure the next tenants will love the paint colors...I think that they are terrific! I left a message on your machine for your birthday; I hope you got it. When you get a chance, give me a call! Love you guys!
grin. let me leave a list of other new moms: Priscilla Hahn, Andrhea Ray, Lea Gelman, Tiffany Smith, Kristina O'Neil, Jen Smith, etc, etc, etc. Babies gone wild!!! I'm happy I have no desire for children right now. haha.
And chester will lead them all!!! ;)
Yeah we were supposed to find out but they made a mistake and didn't schedule the ultrasound! =( So I had a regular checkup and we go back in TODAY for the ultrasound for sure! I was bummed out yesterday, but I guess waiting one extra day can't hurt. =) We'll call you tonight right after we find out!
because YOUR time zone is the SAME as MINE. the others are there to remind me when I can talk to everyone else!!! sillyhead. and I talk to you every day on msn anyway. pshhh..
I want to hear about the vomit you threatened Susie with! How's that all going anyways?
Yay! So much happening while we're gone. Who knew things could change in six months? :-)= But when you say "take over the world..." should I be worried?
yes yes you should....there's a lot more 'metzger' blood flowing these days :)
