U-turn Here!

Wow! Okay another turn in this road. How come God doesn't give you a map? It's like those dag on GPS systems, you never know how you're going to get there, you just keep on following it's direction and hopefully you get to your destination. Well as most of you know by know, I have returned back from my side trip to finding myself again. Unfortunately we lost the baby after 8 weeks, of course, reasons unknown. we are all doing fine as expected. Very disappointed, but I guess because it was still so early and I didn't know I was almost 12 weeks along, instead of 7, I didn't get so attached to the idea. We will be trying again when the doctor gives the clear, but until then, I will be back on my original journey, so join me again. Whew!

My first week of work has been interesting and enjoyable. The biggest or strangest part about the job is working for a company that prays before each meeting. I mean I understood it was a Christian based organization, but I suppose with all my years of separation of church and state, it's just surreal. Everyone is really nice and professional. Education is high on their list and so is moving up in the system. They want you to start applying for school (which they pay for) and other positions, as soon as you're able. Now, the dress code is a little starch... no capris. Well at least you won't have that issue of seeing your co worker's thong. Unfortunately it also leads to that nasty habit of always being examined and maybe being told on. Terrible for office morale. Luckily my office is at home! Jake seems to be adjusting to my few days out of the home so far and I'm doing well also with it.

Since the miscarriage I have seen a significant change in my body again. I can't believe I didn't know I was pregnant sooner. Well I did, but I guess complications during the first month made it confusing. Well I appreciate your thoughts and prayers for our family and again, thank you for joining me in my journey.
