The Results Are In

It has been an eventful 2009 for us thus far! Ben's unit has been busy going into and out of the field. For those of us who aren't in the Army, this usually means kicking it off with an all-nighter paratroop jump & mission, and then heading out somewhere in the woods to set up Army "camp" for a couple of weeks. From my understanding Ben works in the Aid Station Tent and sleeps outside on the ground - even when it is freezing. The different parts of the unit work together to complete different missions and training. That is about the extent of what I know goes on!

While he was out in the field this month, we got some crazy wonderful news ... Our first little Schaefer-baby is going to come into the world and bless our lives about 2 years sooner than we expected! While not originally our timing, we are convinced that God's timing is far better. This news changes a few things for us, and has us really thinking about our near future. Through it, God is also teaching us (especially me) some valuable lessons. Who am I to tell God when I want kids and how many? He knows us better than we know ourselves, thank goodness. He is in control, and we can trust Him with our lives.

How am I feeling? Well pretty much as soon as those 2 lines turned blue the morning (aka. all day) sickness dropped like the A-Bomb. Pardon my language but morning sickness is a b****. Although it is getting more and more under control, I am looking forward to the 2nd trimester...I have high hopes that I'll enjoy feeling energetic and great!

We have some photos to post (because that's the best part of a blog!) but for some reason our little camera won't import today....we'll get them up soon :)

As always we'd love to hear from you so drop us a line anytime!!
