India...Florida...Baby?

To start off this blog, here are a few updates!

• I was planning to go to India for two months, and even found a program and applied. From the beginning, I was unsure about the decision to go. I really wanted to go, but as I thought and prayed about it, I decided now was not the time.
• Because I am not going to India, I will have a lot of cool opportunities this summer. For starters, I won't have to leave Kasen. Again.
• Also, I will be able to go to my brother Alex's graduation in June. we are going to spend a couple of days with him and my sister in Salem, Oregon. If I had gone to India, I would have left before June.
• Next, I will be able to complete a CNA course. This will help with my nursing school application. It will also allow me to seek new employment here in Moscow, with different opportunities than I now have. It will also give me experience working in health care.
• Part of the reason I was going to India was the opportunity to get enough credits to graduate in December. I found out that by taking cheaper independent study courses, I can graduate at the same time. 
• I will be able to work and make money instead of only spending money for the summer.
• As a substitute for India, Kasen and I bought plane tickets to Florida for our anniversary. We're going to Disneyland! (Well, Disney World...) and Animal Kingdom, and SeaWorld, and Universal Studios, and the Orlando Temple. How cool is that? Plus, what I would have spent on travel to India could pay for our entire trip to Florida. Several times.
• Finally, we're having a baby! Sometime. Kasen and I both got several separate, real revelations from the Lord that it's about time we started a family. We are not pregnant now, but we have been thinking and planning on the best time. I don't think we're ready for it, but I don't think we should ignore promptings. Jonah taught us that. (Bellies?) Anyway, ready or not, here we come!

That's it for us. School is demanding, work is tiring, but marriage is good. And if you're lucky, you might get another blog post before the baby leaves on his mission.
