Northeast, here we come!

Its been a crazy busy last week and a half for us!  Our church had a missions conference this week that we attended and volunteered at (that was so fun and the conference was great!) and then Kaleb's parents have been in town from Ireland.  They were in town for the conference and it was so great to get to spend some time with them!  On top of that was our normal busyness with working on support raising - needless to say, our week was full :).  And now we are down to the night before we leave for our Vision Trip to Maine - so excited!  We are really looking forward to seeing the area, the campus, and being with the rest of the Lifelines team there.  Besides a day in Boston (literally the day, haha), both Kaleb and I have never spent time in the Northeast - it will be nice to finally see and experience the area.
Just to give you a visual, this is where we are headed!  Orono, Maine.
If you could please pray we would have safe travels to and from Maine, it would be so appreciated!  Also, if you could please pray for Kaleb, mine and the baby's health - it seems on top of this week we've had some run ins with health stuff.  We are all fine now - although, I'm still on antibiotics for an infection- but prayers for continued protection over the baby and our health in general is always good :) - THANK YOU!! 

We cannot wait to update you all about how our trip to Maine goes!!!  We will be back to California April 6th and I'm sure will give an update soon after that :). 

Thank you all in advance for you prayers!!  Prayer is so important and it means a great deal to us to know we have so many people partnering with us in this way!  We pray for YOU too!!

Well, I am off to finish our packing (our flight leaves bright and early at 7 a.m.!) ....until next time!
I wonder if we'll see any of these bad boys while there, haha ;) - apparently there are A LOT of moose in Maine!

In California

Well, we've been back in California now for about a week and things have been going good!  We had a great drive up and have been enjoying the beautiful California weather since arriving.  It was great to get back to our home church here and see everyone there again (shout out to Rolling Hills Community Church, we love you all)!  Since arriving back we've been busy getting our things settled here and setting up appointments/meeting with people - it's been great!

We were so happy to get to take a couple days after first arriving in CA to relax and recharge!  It was nice to get some time alone together and we enjoyed some great walks on the beach :).

We are excited for our upcoming Vision Trip to Maine!  We will fly out on the 28th and arrive back here to Cali on April 6th.  Please keep us in your prayers as we prepare to leave, thank you so much!

That's about it here - for now :).  We are so thankful for each and every one of YOU!  Thank you for your continued prayer, encouragement, and support!!

Oh, and for those that are interested in a baby bump picture....here you go! :)  I am now just over 16 weeks, can't believe it!!
I'm about 15 and a half weeks in this picture.
 Until next time...... :)
