So... Long time no post... I apologize for the long delay in postings! A lot has happened in our lives over the past few months. To start Daustin and I have purchased a new home. It is a 3-bedroom two-bath ranch style home with a full basement. The lord provided a wonderful home for us that is in great condition. With new flooring and paint throughout the house was move in ready. It has been great settling in and making this new house our home!
In May, Daustin and I also celebrated our two-year anniversary! It was a wonderful evening for the two of us. Daustin surprised me by taking me to Morton's of Chicago. It is a wonderful steak house that has amazing food! We were greeted with menus that were created especially for us with our names and anniversary. The server provided an oral and visual menu presentation. We loved our steak and shrimp! It was a wonderful experience. My wonderful husband then surprised me with dance lessons as a gift. We have been enjoying learning the Salsa, Cha Cha, Swing, and Rumba.

In May, we also had another wonderful surprise! Daustin and I found out we are expecting a beautiful baby. Currently I am 9 weeks pregnant with a due date of 2-10-2010. At my doctors appointment the doctor said everything looks great and the baby appears to be healthy. Outside of some morning sickness and incredible back cramping Mom and baby are doing great! I promise to continue with updates and pictures as Mommy and baby grow over the next 7 months!
In June, Daustin and I had the opportunity to visit the country of Ecuador on a mission trip. We went with a group of high school students and college-age singles from our church. We went for the purpose of going into local schools with the intent of ministering and evangelizing to the children and teachers of the local communities. The Lord really grew Daustin and me and opened our eyes even more to the vast need for the gospel to be shared with the nations.
Finally an update as to where I will be teaching next year. After many long weeks of prayer and tears, the Lord finally answered my and my family's prayers. I will be returning to Camden, the school I taught at Last year, as a LBD resource teacher. I am very excited and thankful for this opportunity and I am excited to see how god will use me at school this year! Again, I promise to try harder at updating the blog on a regular basis! As baby Kratzer continues to grow and more life changes happen I hope to have more motivation to share our family's joys with you! Fingers crossed! :)
