Yes, yes…I’m still alive and kicking. It’s been a rough past couple of weeks…especially going on all of the airplane trips. Before we’d get on the airplane, I’d start begging Israel to let us drive….or EVEN WALK to our next destination. There were also several times where I was hoping our Lord, Jesus Christ would just take my life. But you know…I’m sure hormones were partly responsible for those feelings. (Ladies, before you get pregnant, don’t say I didn’t warn you!!) I’m just kidding (somewhat). I’m sure at the end of it all, it will all be worth it. AND, I’m one of the rare few who experience really bad sickness. Some people say they felt their BEST when they were pregnant. What blessed people. Keriann, thanks for all the advice! A few ladies in my church have been warning me about the IV and dehydration too. 🙁 I’ve been trying to force liquids down and have been monitering the hours between urination. Okay, I need to get out of this house now…it smells. -JR

We Need Gum
We’re back at home now. Judy’s still sick. For a while, I thought she was about to get better, but she was just kidding. We were at the mall because she wanted to walk. And while we were walking, she was about to … B. So I had to go up to some couple who was chewing gum and ask them for some. The guy looked at me like I was crazy and said no. After I told them that my wife was pregnant and pulled my loot cakes out to pay them, the lady said she had gum. And they didn’t take my money, so that was good.
My parents are getting a little too crazy. After ASI, we stopped by their place to visit them for the first time since we found about about Judy’s “Condition” (Dr. Michael Orlich). My mom called family members I never even knew we had, and they all came over to see us! Half of our “vacation” was spent me repeating over and over what I work in, and Judy trying to understand spanish. They got us so many kid’s clothes that we didn’t have enough room in our bags to bring other important stuff with us.
We supposedly got lucky. They were going to throw us a baby shower even though we’re still in our first trimester. I think my family just comes up with any excuse to party!
I should call Justin now. He said he needed help moving in to Ann Arbor. He’s pastoring in Detroit and working with CAMPUS.
