Happy thanksgiving everyone! Kirstie and I got back last night, and are gearing up got a couple Thanksgiving dinners this week.

Pictures from our trip comming soon!  Are HERE. 

New Hampshire was alot of fun, and sad to see go, but we are excited at the potential of Kirstie’s parents moving out to Minnesota! Ted (Kirstie’s dad) is in process of getting certified to teach in Minnesota, and job hunting. Please be in prayer gor God’s guidance in this big step in their lives.

Kirstie and I are also excited to be finally getting into the doctor next Friday! My insurace at work is finally kicking in, and we will be going to my long time clinic, Soteria Family Health Center. I love this clinic, it not only provides great care, it incorperates faith and prayer into their healing and treatment. When I had my last back surgery my doctor suprised me by coming in on his day off before I went under, and prayed for the procedure. He again visited me later on his own time to see how I was doing. I’m glad Soteria will be part of my child’s life.

Well, we got into New Hampshire last night, and look forward to a week with our family out here. We will be taking a trip up to northern New Hampshire this weekend to visit Kirstie’s Grandparents. I love it up there…such beautiful scenery. We will be back the day before Thanksgiving. So far, Kirstie and baby are doing well. Please pray for continued health, and safe travels
Ciao!

Well everything is going pretty well! The usual morning sickness (but at night). I’m enjoying experiencing the wonder of God’s creation of life! It so exciting knowing that this little baby is growing inside of me!

There is one thing I do need prayer for I have a cold that is just not wanting to leave me. And since I’m pregnant I can’t take many medicines so it’s taking longer for it to go away. Thank you for all your prayer support!

After John Kerry’s failed run for office, I had hoped that I would not see him in
the news again…

But alas, John Kerry has managed to force his way into headlines again with a tasteless joke, with a bad delivery in an attempt to take a shot at the President.

“You know, education — if you make the most of it, you study hard and you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.”

There we no laughs in the crowd, and Kerry’s face sunk as he realized his botched delivery. After this, does the senator issue an apology for his accidentally implying U.S. soldiers have a diminished level of intelligence? Quite the opposite:

“Let me make it crystal clear, as crystal clear as I know how: I apologize to no one for my criticism of the president and of his broken policy. If anyone owes our troops in the fields an apology, it is the President”

Atta boy John Kerry…

Well, at least the Minnesota National Guard’s 34th Infantry Division are lighthearted about it. They were able to use their diminished intelligence to fingerpaint an awesome picture for John… They managed to finish it just before naptime.
