So here we are just 5 days away from leaving for Uganda and boy are we behind on this blog. Sometimes I feel like blogs are inevitably doomed to go long periods without entries. It seems that the times when you have the most to say you have the least time to sit down and tell everyone. Well the shortest version that picks up from January:
In March we finally figured out all the details for our trip to Uganda. Katie and Nigel were able to go to Stewart & Summer's wedding in Florida for Spring break. Nigel had a blast at the beach eating sand. Grant stayed home to work and rewarded himself with an epic 12 hour LAN Party!! woot woot!! In April we announced that we are pregnant!! Yay!! 10 kids here we come!! Baby (unknown gender) is due December 1st. On April 15th Nigel turned 1!!
wow! He is continuing to get bigger and sometimes we think he eats as much as we do. You can see in this picture he is enjoying his very first cake by digging a hole right down the middle. A few weeks after his first birthday he graduated into the forward-facing car seat which everyone has enjoyed and on April 19th Grant turned 23!...whew he is getting old. Not long after we began raising support for Uganda and God provided abundantly more than the $2000 we needed. Boom! *proverbial fist-bump to God* He is so awesome! Our dear friend and brother Ian Sebbanja came to visit us from Uganda for the first week of May. And this week Grant had 2 of the hardest finals of his OU career....on the same day! ish... Today we begin pac
king because we never like to leave things to the last minute ;-) but the power randomly went out for most of the morning so that was an uninvited surprise. We ask for continued prayer this summer as we pour ourselves out for Jesus in Uganda. We expect to have semi-regular access to internet throughout our stay so we are making it our top priority to keep everyone posted. Everyone is welcome to come see us off on Tuesday (May 18th) at 11:30am at Calvary Chapel in Norman.
