I’m sorry for being MIA for what seems like an eternity.
Since my last post was about evacuating for hurricane Isaac I thought I should
let you know that yes, we are still alive. We did not get blown away like it
may have seemed.
We have been going through some major life changes and I tend
to sort of retreat from the world during major life changes. Andrew and I got
some very exciting and overwhelming news and I have been taking time to process
it in my own head, with Andrew, and with close friends and family.
Sometimes I feel like the internet, with its countless uses
and advantages can tempt me to surrender life’s sacred things to public
spectacle. Maybe I have a tiny introvert living inside of me but I often just
want personal things to be personal for a while before they are given over to
the internet for opinion. I know it sounds odd coming from a person who LOVES
to blog but I think everyone using the internet should wrestle with where to
draw the line with sharing.*End soapbox*
I realized that I couldn’t keep our changes a secret forever
nor did I want to. I just needed some time to soak it all in before telling the
world (or the 5 or 6 of you who read this). So without further ado… sometime
around April 28, 2013 Andrew and I will be receiving the most unexpected
outpouring of God’s love, a baby.
We are thrilled, humbled, overwhelmed, and overjoyed. I
really don’t have the words.
Otherwise, there is not really much to report on life in New Orleans the past few
weeks. For me it has consisted of nausea, working, sitting on the couch,
nausea, sleeping.
Rinse and repeat.
Andrew has been a super hero. I don’t know how
he does it but somehow he has managed to wait on me hand and foot, work long hard
hours, take care of the house, and maintain his school work. And by maintain I
mean make all A’s. He’s one of those people who can do it all and it makes me
so proud and a little jealous.
I’m hoping when this sickness business is over we can get
back to some of the fun things we enjoy + baby projects. Until then, I’m trying
to take it all in one day at a time… sometimes it still doesn’t seem real!
