News
Well, I figure since I am somewhat in the mood to post I might as well give an update of sorts on what is happening in our lives. It could be years until I post again so I might as well take advantage of this rare moment. :)
Well, first things first. Vanessa and I are expecting our first child sometime in mid-March. We are very excited. Vanessa is a little over 2 months along. Please keep her and us in your prayers over the next 9 months as we await the arrival of our “son.” Vanessa and I also celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary last Tuesday, so we are now old pro’s and will offer marriage counseling to people married for one year or less.
This morning we made an offer on a house in Hope, Maine, about 10-12 minute drive from Camden. After sometime of offers and counter-offer’s, our offer was accepted. The house is on Beaver Lodge Rd. for those of you who know where that is, and care. Consequently, The rest of August and September will be busy with housing inspections and such and hopefully closing on the house.
Well, that's it for now.
We give praise to God for His blessing and for His grace to us in these beginning years.

Posted by: gwen at August 20, 2005 12:50 PMThank You Gwen,
Yes I for sure will be blogging around that time. :) I'll try to keep at it better until then though.
Congrats, Vanessa and Micah! We know a bit of what you are going through right now - not the baby - but we're in the midst of buying our first house together. It's definitely a very exciting/busy time!! Hope things go smoothly, and Vanessa, hope you are feeling well!
Posted by: hew at August 22, 2005 08:34 AMCongratulations!! That's a lot of exciting changes in a short amount of time. As a married man for a little over a year, unfortunately I fall just outside of your marriage counseling criteria. Maybe some house-hunting advice?
Seriously, you'll be in Candace's and my prayers in the upcoming months.
Micah! Vanessa! Congratulations you guys. I knew it was about that time for people in our class to start sharing this kind of news. We are so happy for you both - you'll make great parents! So exciting!!!
Posted by: Candace Jones at August 22, 2005 12:35 PMMicah, That's super cool.
I've been married for all of about 3.5 months now so maybe I'll take you up on that counselin. : ) We'll keep you in our prayers.
