surprise!

remember how i mention God's timing being so funny sometimes... well, it certainly is! just when we thought we were getting things figured out, major things change. ryan and i have been praying since soon after arriving in colorado that God would really make our path clear. it's not that we don't like colorado, it's just that we miss home and our wonderful families (who wouldn't?!?). anyway, God recently made things very clear to us, which certainly we are thankful for the answered prayer, but, as it sometimes goes, it was a surprising answer...not quite what we expected! for you see, after a mere 8 months of marriage + 10 months of dating, we, ryan and samantha smith, are going to have a baby! SURPRISE!
and recently, i learned a friend from college is also expecting, and it just could be that our babies are born very close to one another.. craziness!!

Congratulations! I wondered if that's what your timing post was about. I'm so excited for the two of you.

Congrats sweet girl! Yours and Christina's can grow up together! God's timing is surprising, but it's also perfect. (I knew this was the only reason you would voluntarily have blood taken twice ;) )! So happy for you... stay healthy... mom-to-be!
