Big Things

Haven't blogged in awhile, so I have a lot of big things to update all three of you on.

1. We moved!

We moved into a house on the east side of Austin next door to our good friends Justin and Sally and their two girls. We are getting settled and thrilled to have more space. Some of you may know our story in how we decided to move into an under-resourced, at-risk neighborhood on the east side, but it wonderful to see God's faithfulness in allowing us to obey this call that we heard several years ago. Much more to come on this topic, but for now, check out our new digs!


This is just an iPhone picture of the outside that we actually had to take for our insurance company, but isn't it cute?! When I get things more together on the inside we will be due for a virtual tour.

2. We went on vacation!

In February we were so blessed to be able to go on a vacation to Paris, Florence, and Rome. I had never been to Europe before, and Travis had only been to the UK, so it was 10 days full of firsts for both of us. It was an amazing trip that will merit its own posts, but here are a few teasers.

The Dome of the Cathedral in Florence.

Columns from the Roman Forum.

Us in front of the Eiffel Tower.

3. We are on our way to being a family of three!

Our baby GIRL is due on June 22, which makes me 23 weeks along. We are completely thrilled and totally freaked out, which I hear is a normal emotional response. So far I have had a somewhat sickly first trimester and a great second trimester. A few belly shots...
