what if...

...we had gotten pregnant on our honeymoon!

*We would be having a baby right now...9 months later...
*I would be rethinking ministry on campus.
*We would be stressed about how little space we have for baby Peace.
*We would reconsider going overseas next year.
*I would be huge with baby!
*We would have probably bought a more family friendly car.
*We would be raising a ton of support.
*Pampers would be taking over my linen closet!
*We would have had conversations about...baby names, summer plans, our parenting skills...etc.
*We would be getting an apartment for the summer at New Staff Training (no dorm room for baby!)
*I would have painted, against the wishes of our landlord, a pretty nursery.
*Maybe we would have gone house hunting(??).
*We would have had baby showers, huge doctor bills, nursery furnishing expenses.
*I would probably listen to Mozart. (Will I be that type of pregnant mommy??)
*Our house would be filled with talk of children.
*Our friends would be going crazy with excitement (hopefully!).
*We'd be wondering when the next one should be planned......

WHEW. Glad that didn't happen!
I'll wait another few years, please, for baby Peace.

serious baby

We did it!!

Yes, we bought our first joint car. And we couldn't be happier! It's a 2010 Mazda3.

Here are the pictures we took - mainly to show my parents...ENJOY :)

Our first major purchase

We are so lucky and thankful that we have no debt right now at all. But we are about to accumulate some since we are currently in the market for a new car!!

Here are the options, right now.

The 2009 Nissan Sentra FE+2.0

it's interior:

The 2009 Toyota Corolla XLE

the interior:

These are the other 2 choices, a little less likely options, though:

The 2009 Mazda3

The 2009 Honda Civic

They aren't the most exciting cars in the world, but they will be great for all the traveling we do. I'm super excited and we've been having so much fun the past week and a half test driving some and researching and discussing. Just wanted to share, cause it's pretty exciting news around here!

Something I love about my husband...

He loves kids.
