Life as we know it

So quick little review to get everybody caught up with what has been happening in our little lives... Mark got a new job in may working at the University of Dubuque as the Coordinator of Service Learning, a brand new position. He really enjoys his job and is thankful for the opportunity to continue working at the University. Along with the job change came the need to find a place to live.....so we bought a house! We have been spending a lot of time making it our home, needless to say we love it!! Oh and to top it off we are waiting for the arrival of our little smitty any day, after all if you are going to make a little change in your life why not do everything at once! Emily has enjoyed the ability to stay at home where she has been busy getting everything ready for the baby. Oh, and did we mention we don't know if we are having a boy or a girl? We have concluded that we are having a modest child and our abstinence speaking is already paying off. They say the due date is December 8th, we will see!!! We have continued to be involved with Lighthouse College Fellowship where Emily speaks occasionally. Mark is playing Rugby for the Gentlemen of Dubuque, a city team, in the Spring and Fall. We are still attending Great Adventure Church and enjoy having the family when ours is so far away.
