Well, the news is out and all I have to say is ... FINALLY!
See I have this little issue with keeping my mouth shut, especially when I'm excited about something. And it doesn't get much more exciting than this ...
They told us a few weeks ago and it's been killing me to not say anything. (I had a couple close calls, but thankfully in the end no beans were spilled.)
This news is doubly exciting considering everything they've been through this past year. Congratulations, guys.
Pray with me for a healthy baby?
P.S. My super talented brother designed all those ads. Don't you think Chipotle should hire him?

Pause ...
Sorry about the posting delay. I'm a newlywed, trying to learn how to be a good wife and ... well ... let's just say it's a lot to learn. I'll be back to my regular posting soon, though. I promise.
Meanwhile, for those of you following my brother's blog about RA, he finally posted an update.
Happy weekend, everyone!

Stop the Roller Coaster
I feel like I'm on a roller coaster that's going way too fast. It's making me nauseous. Can it be stopped to let me off, please?
I [[heart]] being engaged! I'm way excited to plan the wedding. We kind of started the process, but with so much family stuff going on, it's suddenly had to take a backseat for a while. I'm okay with that, though. There are more important things than my wedding.
Following my brother's daily updates from Reno is rough. I feel absolutely helpless and even though I'm praying for him pretty much non-stop, it feels like I should be doing something. And I'm not. I can't.
I'm having a hard time not being angry at God. I'm struggling because I know how powerful He is. I know He could heal him. Today. Within the hour. Right this second. But He's not. And that makes me angry.
Blech. I feel like I just threw up on you.
I've always hated roller coasters.

A Journey of Faith
My brother Chris and his wife Valeen left today on a journey of faith - a six week trip to a clinic in Reno, Nevada.
Basically, God is taking him up Mt. Everest, spiritually speaking. His faith and strength are being tested an a way I've never witnessed before.
Chris has struggled for several years with a painful and devastating disease, which recently has become life-altering. Here's more detail, if your interested. (And just to give you perspective, when I stopped by last night, I couldn't even hug him goodbye because he was in so much pain. It was awful.)
Through all this suffering, Chris' true character has become more and more evident. It's been amazing to watch his faith explode even as his body implodes. He's standing firm in his belief that God will heal him. He's not sure when or how - that's up to God - but he's trusting that is will happen. Valeen is believing that too. And so am I.
He's started a blog so that we can all follow his journey and share in what God's going to do.
Visit it and leave him a note of encouragement. He'll no doubt need it. I'm sure his knowing a little of the impact his battle is having on other people would help him endure it.
Also please pray for my brother. He is in the midst of an intense physical, emotional and spiritual battle. Pray for endurance, strength, and healing. Pray also for strength and encouragement for Valeen as she supports him. Pray for all those that are - and will be - impacted by their journey and faith.
It's hard to watch my brother go through this. As the older sister, I want to jump in and protect him from all this pain. I just keep praying that God will honor his faith and heal him.
Will you pray that with me?

Are You Alive?
MAY I PLEASE HAVE EVERYONE'S ATTENTION?
Thank you.
Now, if you would all please follow me to my brother's blog.
Stat.
His post today is BRILLIANT. Very deep and yet so funny at the same time. (Oh and be sure to watch the video.)
Then if you liked the post, leave him a comment. Hopefully this will encourage him to post more often. Because obviously, he's got good stuff to say.
