Long overdue

Wow, I cant believe we havent update this blog since MAY! Holy cow thats bad. Clearly we are not very good at blogging lol.

So much has gone on in the past 5 months!
I have been working as a legal assistant to Judge Zatopa for the past 5 months and really enjoying it. She is a lot of fun to work for, she is quit and a little quirky but I am drawn to her for some reason. She just seems so loving and motherly or something. I dont fear her in the same way I usually fear managers. Dont get me wrong, I fear her in a respectful authoritle way... but Im not scared to talk to her about my work, or concerns or anything. She always listens and is always very eager to help me get help on whatever. Never looking down on me, well at least not that she shows lol. She is a really good manager. Now that I have worked for her, I couldnt imagine working for any of the other Judges here lol.

Joe and Jill and baby B moved away. It was really hard seeing them go, but I kind of just didnt deal with those emotions because I knew Jill was going through a lot of pain leaving and a lot of excitement at the same time so I figured she didnt need me emotions as well lol. Then when they left I was left to deal with all those sad feelings alone. I really miss her. Especially during this stint of my life. She might be strong willed and even over bearing at times-- but she is one of my best friends and a real saving grace. She gets me, and I miss not having her here to crack up wiht or cry with or just lounge around with.

Jamie and her (ex) husband have parted ways. She is now involved in a serious relationship with a girl named Monica. Its definately a period of adjustments for everyone involved in Jamies life. I feel like I knew her best, no, I dont feel like it-- I KNOW I knew her best and I never saw how unhappy she was or the internal conflict she was going through regarding her sexuality. It makes me really sad when I think about the past 10 yearas and all the times I might have said stupid comments or something and made her feel bad for how she felt inside. You dont think about those things ya know? Im glad she is out of the relationship with Daniel though. I never ever liked him and I never thought he was right for her. But, as any best friend, you want whats best for them and its hard thinking that ANYONE is good enough. Ya know? She was happy and it was what she wanted so I tried to hang back. Knowing what I know now-- our year break of friendship (which was totally over him) makes sense now. She had to go through what she has to get to where she is. I love her regardless of her walk of life, and I am happy that she is finally happy... I wont lie, Im a bit scared of the unknown. However having a homosexual mother has helped me a lot when it comes to accepting Jamie and her relationship. Its clearly not a lifestyle for me, but who said it had to be right? I am just about love. Love everyone as you want them to love you. Love who they are, love their imperfections, their flaws, their quirks, love what makes them special, love that they are in your life, and know that the Lord has a rhyme and reason for everything... even things we dont fully understand. So to sum that up, Jamie got a divorce, she is now gay and engaged to Monica, and I love her all the same :)

I went back to school this semester. I am only taking 2 classes (A hummanities music class and a Psychology Human Development class). I am really enjoying it. I mean, I hate school still... that hasnt changed. But I am enjoying doing the work and seeing the grades and moving foward with my education.
David is almost done with school. Thank you Jesus! He will graduate in May.

Thats not all thats happening in May though.
In case you havent heard...
David and I are expecting our first baby on May 2nd, 2010!
We are so thrilled and through the roof that words cant do our feelings justice. Its been a long hard road, with miscarriages, and failed treatment, and heartache galore... but we are here. The Lord is with us and has guided this baby to us and we are proud to say that we have completed the first trimester and are moving full force ahead. We wont be finding out the gender of the baby until birth but have gotten a lot of "predictions" from people around us. I was told about 2-3 months before I got pregnant by a weird gypsy woman in Wal-Mart that I would get pregnant by the end of the year (2009) with a baby girl. Well, I got pregnant... we will see if its a girl! My mom and sister are convinced its a boy. David says girls. I in all honesty have NO inkling. I refer to the baby as "she" more often then not... but I dream of a baby boy. So who knows!! lol.


So thats whats new with us at the moment. I will try to do a better job of updating the blog throughout the pregnancy :)
