one day over the rainbow...

There will be a pot of gold, a BMW Z5 for me, and a '09 Audi S4 stage 3 for Joel, and MOST OF ALL a perfect place for us to live!

Yep, we have not found the rainbow yet! We're still looking!

The apartment searching is still going. Every day I have my ritual of checking craigslist and www.apartmentratings.com for some inspiration. This morning, there were a couple glimmers of hope. Continue to pray that we are able to get settled soon (i'm dying to start decorating the nursery- and to get "my stuff" out of storage)

Great news- we are very excited about a church we visited, Bay Area Community Church. It's south close to Annapolis, so we are going to try to focus our apartment search so that we are within driving distance. It will be a HUGE blessing once we are able to get plugged in!

Joel is still working very long hours, but doing GREAT! A typical workday has him out the door by 6:00 am and typically doesn't come home until after 7:00 pm. The long hours makes me soo excited for Fridays and most of all the weekend, when I have him ALL to myself. :)

The baby is doing fabulous-growing and making mommy feel HUGE and kicking his little heart out! It soo precious! I've had a blast scouring the clearance racks for outfits. I've fallen in love with what Lands End has- Between the sail boats, alligators, and anchors- everything is soo adorable! It's hard to believe, I'm 5 months along! I spent the day organizing yesterday and updating my calendar and it was a shock to see how little time is left before his arrival. (REMINDER: Mark your calendars for August 2nd! - Baby Shower and open house at Mom's place)

I am doing well. Adjusting, but again doing well. Joel has been very supportive and and my sister is on speed dial! My quiet times consist of Monday: praying for Faith, Tuesday: praying for Trust, Wednesday: praying for Patience, Thursday: REPEAT!

I know the Lord will provide and has something great in store for Joel and I while we are here. Plus- let's be honest, 24 months and we are off on the next adventure, where ever Joel's job may take us....

Hope all is well!

Joel, Jac, and Mr. BabySamples
