Ah Summer!!!!


So summer has finally arrived! It took a while, but we finally have green trees and sun (kind of). It's been a rainy June but it's summer still none the less! We have spent a lot of time outside and enjoyed getting out. We also have our garden in and most of it is growing fabulously! The peppers haven't come up yet, and I don't know if they will, but the rest has come in great! I spent the morning today hoeing between the rows to minimize the weeds and still have to weed the actual rows, but that may come tomorrow.
 
 
We also have done some large purchasing and bought ourselves a tent trailer! We were unsure of camping in just a tent this summer and were looking at a tent trailer but didn't know if we would actually go through with it. But we found one we really liked and it was a great deal, so we jumped on it! And this trailer should get us through quite a few years and kids, so that is a plus as well!!!! Only downside, it looks like the 90's trailer it is so we may do some redecorating in the next couple of years to make it a little more up to date!
 
 
We made a few other changes as well. Dan has quit the leadership aspect of sound ministry and reduced his stress that way. We also got rid of both dogs. One went back to the pound and the other went to doggy heaven. It was a sad day when Emily went to the vet, but in the long run it was better for our family. Eventually we will likely get another dog, but that probably won't be until our kids are old enough to take some responsibility with them.
 
 
And on a final note, we are, Lord willing, going to be having another baby in January of next year. I am currently 12 weeks along and feeling very gross, but better then I was a couple of weeks ago! We have made it past the time of loss with our last pregnancy and feeling hopeful that all is going well! So now it's just a matter of getting through this grossness feeling (which I am hoping goes away soon) and starting to feel more pregnant!
 
 
So that's our news!
