Yesterday Brett and I celebrated our two-year anniversary! In some ways it seems like we have always been married, and in others those two years have had wings! We share an anniversary with Brett's dad's parents, though sadly Brett's Pawpaw passed away the year before we got married. We dropped Nate off at Brett's parents and went out to dinner. I was craving steak...like I always do when pregnant...so we went to Outback. It was good, but we both agreed that we could have cooked something just as good at home for about half the cost. Of course, if we had attempted that last night it would have been Brett cooking the steak while I watched from the sofa. Yesterday I felt very nauseous all afternoon and evening. How nice it was to not have to cook, even if it cost more!
Our neighbor called us over on Saturday and told us that their son had unexpectedly died of a heart attack last week. They are in total shock, as he was only 37 years old. He was married and they had not been able to have children, and so were in the process of adopting two children out of foster care. Please keep the family in your prayers. Thankfully, he was a strong Christian and they are resting in the confidence that he is now in heaven.
Also, my Uncle Jack is dying of arthritis of the lungs. Please pray for him and his wife and daughters, and also for my family in Maryland that they will be a comfort and encouragement to them.
On a lighter note, I am thrilled to announce that Gwen sold last Friday! A sweet lady from Florida flew up to see her and fell in love with her at first sight! Thank you, those of you who were praying for us last week. I could clearly see God's hand in it all, bringing everything together smoothly. Gwen could not have been better behaved and I am so happy that she is going to a good home. I am sad to no longer own her because I think she's going to be an amazing horse, but especially in light of my current pregnancy this is the best for all of us. =)
