This is Just the Beginning

It’s been exactly one year since we got married!  To celebrate, we decided to create a Xanga page!!  hahahahahaha    j/k.  We are actually chilling in the exact same hotel suite that we stayed in after our wedding.   Israel surprised me by booking this room (which cost too much $$!) at the Troy Hilton.  It’s in the same hotel where we had our wedding reception for those of you who remember.  We ordered-in dinner, went swimming, enjoyed drinks (virgin strawberry daiquiri & pina colada–YUM!), enjoyed dessert, and now we’re chilling back in the room creating our xanga page.  How romantic!  We’ve also been doing on-line research on pregancy…because for those of you who don’t know yet…last Sabbath we found out that we’re expecting a baby!  7 weeks and counting!!  Okay, now Israel wants to write…

First of all, we got a really good deal on the hotel room.  We got the suite AND an additional cool kickin it place with a discount, free b-fast, and some free drinks 🙂  I also got Judy some roses for the first time in our life.  Fellas, take notes.

Judy and I are taking suggestions for names for the baby.  Please submit.

l.e.a.d.s. is coming up, then we go off to Sac for a ASI Youth for Jesus Program and Judy & Justin run the youth program at the ASI convention, and then we visit our parents (my parents :)) in Mo Valley.  West Side.  Judy says “put busy summer”. 

Write to us sometime.

In the mean time–Power.

…and now, back to Judy.

Okay, Israel is weird.  Anyway, we do hope that you all will write to us!  Also, please keep the baby in your prayers (as it’s going to have Israel as it’s Dad!  haha, jk).  Until next time…

  1. My goodness gracious, guys! Congratulations! I can’t believe Israel’s going to be a dad. *laugh* Congrats on the soon-coming baby AND on opening a xanga page. I had recently opened one too. Come visit when you get a chance. If your baby’s a boy, you guys should REALLY call him “Egypt.” Israel kept on insisting that his middle name was “Egypt” when he was in highschool…he just would not give up until some of us, trusting his honesty actually began to believe him. Neway, so glad for you guys!!!!! I guess we’ll see you pregnant, Judy, at GYC! That’s cool. 🙂 Take care…will definitely keep the baby in prayer.

  2. Judy & Israel,I absolutely hyperventilated with excitement for you when I heard the blessed news!! This is HUGE! Wowsers. I am so thrilled to know you both, and I pray that God will bless every trimester of this expectancy and every day of your lives as spouses and parents.It never ceases to amaze me that the love of two people could yield new life. Praise Him!Eager to read more news about prego bego!… In the meantime, I love to read this woman’s blog. She is way into her first pregnancy. (www.sundrymourning.com).Loves,Kendra
