Tonight is the night.... :)

House is clean, decorations put up, and now... off to a concert before I go on base to meet Jake.  Our church does concerts every Saturday night and during the summer we do outdoor concerts usually outside local restaurants.  For those of you questioning or maybe I haven't been in contact with... if that is the case I'm sorry :(  But Jake's flight is scheduled to get in at 11:00 p.m.  I am headed on base between 10-11 to get ready.  Fun thing for you is I did hire someone to take pictures of his homecoming so I will be able to post them on here once she edits them! :)

I hope ya'll have a wonderful night!  I'm off to get my man! :)

Love,
Anna

4 DAYS!!!

I can't believe in just four days I will be seeing a smiling face that I have missed oh so much!!  Thank you God for your faithfulness to answer prayers!!

I feel like there is so much to catch up on, but as I am sitting here thinking back on what happened this last week I am drawing a blank.  I wonder if this could be pregnancy brain.. :)

I am getting ready to take all the classes the Naval Hospital offers.  Tomorrow is the breastfeeding class, then Wednesday a tour of the hospital, and September 14-15th they do what is called Baby Boot Camp.  I am hoping that my next appointment and all the rest to come Jake can attend.  This might require me having to get out of bed early, but I guess I can sacrifice! :)  Jake and I were talking about our visit to Idaho after Addy is born and I can't believe how close it seems.  I don't feel like it has been that long since I left in May.  It will definitely be different this trip having a little one.  Someone told me at church last night, "It won't be about you anymore.. they will go straight for the little one".  I smiled and realized this is so true!  But what a blessing to have an opportunity to be a mother.

Well I'm off to get ready for a bridal shower at church.  I hope that everyone has a marvelous night!  Pray these last few days will go by fast!!  I'm excited to see my husband!!!! :)

Love,
Anna

32 weeks

I wanted to update a picture taken today.  I'm 8 months today and it doesn't seem possible!

Jake has started his journey home praise God and we expect him in 2 weeks! :)  That is a blessing in itself.  I am ready to have my husband home.  Also..  I just wanted to let you all know how marvelous and amazing this miracle of him coming home early is.  I asked him today how many people are in his batallion.  He said over 1,000.  So I asked him if he was fighting with over 1,000 other men to get his name on the list to come home.  Remember there were only 3 slots open.  And Jake MADE THE LIST!  Isn't that incredible.  I have been in awe all day long praising God for such an awesome answer to prayer.  Jake wrote today and said I'm glad I get to definitely be there for the birth. :)  That made such an impact on me.  I can't wait to have that guy home!  He doesn't know it yet, but I just might have to follow him everywhere he goes... :)  I love you all and hope you have a marvelous day!!
