The Best Part of My Day

Sadly, the best part of my day used to be when they handed me my half-caff/non-fat/no-whip mocha each morning at Starbucks. But now I think I have something to top that. Let me tell you about the thing I look forward to most each day.

I LOVE coming home from the gym every night, having some dinner, and then just lying down on the couch and feeling Tanner wiggle around. He does it around the same time each night and I just LOVE to sit there and feel his little movements. I definitely think it has to be one of the most amazing things I've ever experienced. What a miracle! I LOVE being pregnant right now! (Hopefully I'll be singing the same tune once 40 weeks has come and gone in the middle of summer and I'm STILL waiting for this little guy to make an entrance.)

Jon's job search is going well. He got a great offer from Kraft in Chicago and is returning home tonight from an interview in Virginia with a company called Barton Malow. He still has two more interviews to go with Exxon Mobil in TX and Whirlpool in Michigan before we make a decision. Thank you so much for all of your prayers. We feel EXTREMELY blessed with the opportunities that are being presented to us. I think Jon feels like a huge weight has been lifted off his shoulders after getting an offer somewhere. I'm sure he's been feeling A LOT of pressure lately with a pregnant wife who is adamant that she wants to stay home with her baby and not work. My poor sweet husband! I'm so proud of him for working so very hard to try to find a good job and a good place for our family to live and grow! I'll keep you updated once we start making some real decisions!

Rachel,
That is wonderful news about Jon! I'm sure your mind is at ease, as well. Give a little pat on your belly for me and tell Jon congratulations!
