22 Week Update

Beloved,

Much has happened since we last had an update. We are starting to feel ______ kick a lot now (don't fret, you will find out soon enough!) and we are also seeing some movement in other areas of life.

I had a job interview last week with Huitt-Zollars for a Mechanical Engineering position. I thought it went well, they seemed to like me and want me around even though I have a lot to learn. Well, they called on Saturday and unofficially, verbally offered me the position! The pay is great and it seems like a great place to work. They told me not to accept it yet (they still have a few things to look at HR-wise) but they wanted to make sure I was still interested. So this is a big week for us, as I could potentially be signing a contract and starting work very soon!

OSU held an engineering career fair Tuesday (9/8) and I attended just to hedge my bets a little bit in case something falls through. I made a few good contacts that I will follow-up on and I also got a call from another company here in Fort Worth that is looking at my application there. But on Tuesday I got to be in Stillwater and see my mom, sister, her husband, and my beautiful niece, Laney! I also got to check in with some old friends at church and the football program. But anyway, God is great and has a unique way of handling our "issues" as we work through this job thing.

Classes are cruising along, I am enjoying Hebrew and also getting to study the New Testament more thoroughly. Also, I get to disciple someone and get credit for it! How cool is that! And church is going really well also, we just can't seem to stay away from being completely involved wherever we are.

Emily is feeling okay, too much activity will drain her pretty fast but still no sicknesses or debilitating issues. Tuesday was her 22-week doctor visit (pretty uneventful) and she measured at 24 weeks. As you can see from the pics, she is growing straight out! And her belly button seems to be a little off-centered now, but whatever! Apparently, he is a pretty big boy in there so it could happen earlier than the January 13th date. We are getting really excited about this upcoming process, the challenges and the joys, of raising a boy to become a godly man. We will need your help as we attempt this monumental task!

We love you all so much and thank you for your prayers and support for us down here in Fort Worth! Keep us up on how you are doing, we love to hear from you!
