Weekly Update
Jennifer and Kevin:
We are moving! We have been vagabonds moving all over the valley for the past four years to see where we would like our forever home to be and we finally decided on it. Ideally, we would love to move closer to my family for many reasons the foremost being close to family. Still, it’s far from the station, and Kevin’s drive time would increase exponentially. We are praying for direction and keeping our hearts open to where we are led. Wherever we land we want to be a part of the community and form bonds with it.
Kevin is busy working between regular programming, football, and awards, but he loves it and wouldn’t change a thing. We were in a car accident on June 22nd; after four months, we finally got our car back last Friday. Now I know more than I want to about total loss and coverage. One thing for sure make sure you have enough coverage and uninsured motorist. We were lucky the person that hit us was insured, but that is not always the case.
Someone said to me recently “oh, you’re still doing fertility treatment?” when I mentioned something about it. Uh YES! Just because I don’t talk endlessly about our struggle with infertility doesn’t mean we’re giving up. We had planned to do a frozen embryo transfer-FET this past September, but we decided to push it back since we were still dealing with the car accident and injuries from it. In the meantime, I’m following the doctor’s recommendations of eating healthy and exercising.
The Kid:
My stepson is in junior high and he is loving school. I don’t think I have ever met a kid who loves school and learns as much as he does. He loves the more challenging classes and all the new friends he’s met. We gave him a cell phone at the start of the school year. I know everyone has opinions on this, but every parent has to do what they feel is suitable for their child. We thought it was time. We put the strictest parental controls on the phone, and it’s subject to random checks plus, we must OK everything downloaded. We are impressed that he uses the phone wisely but we also know he is still a kid and will make mistakes. This weekend the kid is at astro camp, and I’m jealous. I can’t wait to hear all about it.
What I’ve been mediating on: Forget about what’s happened; don’t keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new. Portion from Isaiah 43:19-21 MSG
