We’ve been very busy.
The holidays are always a busy time of year. In addition to our normal festivities, David and I took a trip out to Santa Cruz, California. While we were there we visited Santa Cruz Bible Church and David played for them one night. He did such a great job. He was really able to show his creativity and used some electronic loops in some songs. He sounded so great. I wish you all could have been there!

We enjoyed seeing what Santa Cruz has to offer. It has a very different atmosphere then conservative Colorado [Boulder excluded!]. As we were leaving a restaurant in the downtown area, a couple actually asked us for our leftovers, they didn’t look deprived and homeless either. That was a first for us. There were a handful of people who were painted and decorated in silly costumes who walked up and down the main street talking to themselves and to strangers. It was very neat but I did cling to David the whole time.
Santa Cruz was absolutely beautiful.
In addition to our trip, David and I found out some big news. Early in the month I was having a lot of pain in my lower abdomen. It lasted for about a week and David was beginning to get concerned. Then for a couple of days straight, I was unable to hold any food down. We didn’t know if both things were related but we weren’t going to take a chance so David took me to the hospital.
It was my first adventure to the ER and I was very willing to cooperate. They poked me with needles and IVs and took blood from me. We were there for about 4 hours just to find out that I’m okay [thank goodness] and I am pregnant. PREGNANT! We could hardly believe it. While we were there we had an ultrasound and we were able to see the tiny, tiny heartbeat of our 5 week old child.
We are now officially 14 weeks along and in the beginning of our second trimester. After a wonderful first trimester filled with morning sickness, I’m finally regaining my appetite and it seems that it is making up for the time that I was sick. I want to eat all the time. It’s horrible. We might go broke because of how much food I want!
We are also looking to move in the next couple of months. We are still waiting to see if we will stay in Castle Rock or if we will be moving up closer to the Boulder-Erie area. There are a few factors that will decide that. We are doing a lot of waiting to see at this time. We will make sure to keep everyone updated though!
