During the third week of the month of April we were able to head over to Slovenija for a time, to prepare for our move in October, and to visit the church in Celje, and the missionaries around. We did a partial move, and put a lot of our boxes and things in storage there, to make it easier in the near future with transportation. It was during this short trip that God blessed us with a very pleasant surprise, the conception of our first child…which we will elaborate on later.

On May 17th, Aleš graduated from his year long internship, although it wouldn't be completed (time-wise) until the end of August, and I graduated with an Associate in Theology! We will soon be putting up a new link on our website, to a short video of the graduation, and the speech I gave, so don't forget to be watching for it!

The pleasant surprise was not official until May 19th when we got our first positive pregnancy test. This happened to be the day we were leaving Vajta, Hungary to get me on my way to America. It was fun to get to announce the news of being pregnant to the last couple of people who hadn't left from the semester.

Aleš came to Boise on September 2nd and we had a sweet reunion and belated celebration of our two year anniversary together. On Monday the fourth, my parents threw a "Welcome Home Aleš" party, and it was a great success. All the family came and we enjoyed each others' company, as well as good food and fun games!

And finally up-to-date…we had our 20 week ultrasound yesterday, September 8th, and found that our little baby is a girl! (or so they say…) We will be thrilled no matter what the sex of the baby, we only hope for a healthy one! We had thought we were having a boy, because we both had a dream that it was a boy and that we named him Daniel, on the same night…so we'll see what's in the oven when it comes out!
