After a month, I am back home in Alaska. It is beautiful here! I love the mountains and the cool crisp mornings. It is already getting dark by about 9:45 or so, and getting the fall feeling in the air. Emma and I flew home early so that I could go to my first Dr appointment and also be home for Bible study starting back up. The Dr.'s visit went well. I was very surprised that they did an ultrasound at only 13 weeks. I fell in love immediately! The baby was moving around a lot. Dr Hansen said, "he's an active little thing". My thoughts were, Oh my, not another one! :) Emma is a sweetie but she runs literally everywhere she goes and I have to run after her! We are super excited about a new baby and Emma is too. She said for the first month or so she wanted a brother, but now she wants a sister.

fall is in the air
Kyle has one week left of SOS and I am so glad. I really miss him. It's been three weeks since Emma and I saw Kyle. :( This week I have been so busy that I haven't really had time to miss him as much. (which is kind of a good thing) But, today I was trying to take a sabbath after a long week of working on the Bible study kickoff and it made me really miss him. I don' t know how I made it four months last summer. God gives grace that is for sure. I think part of it is Emma's missing him too. She said on the phone to him today, "I want to hold you, Dad. I want you to get on the plane and come play in my room". ha. He said, "I will. When I get home I will walk right upstairs and play in your room". Emma loves her Daddy. One good thing about separation is it helps you to be more grateful. I am really thankful for a good husband that loves Emma and I.
Yesterday, I was able to meet several new ladies that have recently moved to our base. I really love getting to know them and making new friends. This is the ministry that God seems to be calling me to this assignment. Ministering to ladies who need support, encouragement and friendship. It is something God has given me a love for at this time in my life. We all have a purpose and I think this one's mine for now. It's exciting to feel fulfilled in what you do!
