changes

hello, March. a change of a season, and many changes occurring in our little house.

john is student teaching this semester, this close to finishing and being hire-able (oh, we hope)! our time here is drawing to a close, and it is bittersweet. on one hand, we knew when we moved here that it would be temporary, only while john was in school, but what we thought would be two years has somehow stretched into three. we’ll be moving out of this apartment three years to the day after we moved in as a brand-new married couple.

as of right now, we don’t know where we’ll be living after. john’s applying to schools all around the u.s., casting a large net and hoping that at least one school will be interested in hiring him. the most interesting location he’s applied to so far is in brattleboro, vermont, which we know and love, as we visited it during our vermont trip early last year.

wherever this journey takes us, however, wherever we end up, it won’t just be the two of us – we’re going to have a baby in august!

we’re incredibly excited, and very, very happy (and i am hugely relieved to now be in the 2nd trimester – no more all-day nausea, and i’m getting some energy back!). i had an ultrasound a few weeks ago, and we got to see our little one squirming and kicking around; it was an absolutely amazing experience!
