Last weekend we went to Austin to visit Zephan's uncle and aunt. We had a great time with them and the kids and enjoyed doing some touring around Austin.
This weekend Katie's mom and brother will be in town for a choir conference. We are super excited to see them! It's been a month since we moved here, and it's amazing how much the little guy's changed. He cut a tooth a few days ago, he's sprouting more hair every day, and I've even caught him doing a baby push-up. Grandma will be so happy to reacquaint herself.

Monster Project Update 3
Well, I finished it.
Not particularly well, maybe. The beginning was killer, the end . . . eh. But I did it. And then left to spend the weekend in Lebanon. And then started packing and stopped coming in to town. Tomorrow we begin our drive to Georgia. We'll see how it ends up - by the way things have been going, it may be a while before I hear back from my professor.
Zephan's last day of work is TODAY.
Hallelujah.

The Last Hurrah
Zephan is on a four day weekend that ends tomorrow. And then he works ten days in a row. And then we leave to go to a Be In Health conference in Georgia. And then we'll be in Rolla for the rest of the summer. Meanwhile, I have a monster paper to finish and turn in on Thursday. And then I'll be packing, packing, packing. :)
We've been trying to smooth out some details, so we spent yesterday in Rolla looking at basements and interviewing midwives. It. was. exhausting. But now we have some ducks in a row.
We saw our midwife here in Columbia for the last time this morning, which makes three midwives in 24 hours. It was a pretty sad thing. She told me that I had a beautiful belly. Everything looks fabulous. I've gained 9 pounds in the last three weeks. (!). We'll miss her.

News
So, we found out earlier this week that we are now official PBT recruits. Wooo!
We've been waiting for this news so long, now that it came we're not really sure what to do with it. I guess it means that our plans have potential to change from "we might" and "we want to" into "we will." And we can officially accept money from supporters now. That's good, right?
Our summer plans still include living in Rolla, going to PMI in Dallas in June, and having a baby. All, of course, after school is over and Hyvee is no longer Zephan's employer. Which is soon, I keep telling myself, very soon. But not yet.

Decisions
We still haven't heard from PBT yet, but we have decided to move to Rolla after my semester is over. Which is like, in three weeks. This will give us a chance to get out from under Hy-vee's tyrannical rule over our lives and make opportunities to bond with people and share our plans.
At this point we're not really sure how long we'll be there. At least until August, but we feel like staying longer might be beneficial as well. We'll be able to have flexible, consistent work schedule for Zephan, which would be nice as we begin parenthood. We'll be closer to family and our home church communities. And there are lots of productive things we could do or training that Zephan could get if we decided to stay there longer.
Of course, Zephan's generally of the opinion that faster is better, so as our plans take shape, we're continuing to pray for wisdom as we make decisions, especially about our time line. But also about things like houses and midwives.
