Wow, the last few days have been a whirlwind. Preparing to leave the country for 6 weeks is harder than I thought!
Many of you may be scratching your head thinking, "I thought they asked for a girl." Well, to make a long story short, Yes, we were expecting a match with a girl, but due to an error, we were matched with our precious Nathan Atner. We choose to believe the LORD worked this out, leading us to our son. We are just so in love with him.
My church family is throwing together a last minute shower for us, this coming Monday night. Can't believe they would get this together for us so quickly, and during the busiest season of the year. I KNOW how busy everyone is, I am so grateful for my church family. They are SOOO excited with us! I can't wait for Nathan to meet them & know this wonderful group of people who will watch him grow, teach him about Jesus, and love him unconditionally. Even one of our youngest members (2 yr old) is excited for his arrival. All our AWANAs kids are praying for Nathan, and our Sparkies have his picture on their world map to mark the Marshall Islands. We are all so blessed.
This will be a crazy busy week, as we continue to prepare. We both have jobs that we love and will be working hard this week to prepare our workplaces for our "maternity" leave. Erica's state meet is also this weekend, so we will travel to Nashville for that (Go Erica!).
We have our airline tickets! They were less than expected!! Yeah! Please pray specifically that Joel will tolerate the long flight. This will likely be hard on him.
Can't believe I will have Nathan in my arms in 12 days!

The Griswolds could learn a few things from us!!
