always expect the unexpected

your prayers would be greatly appreciated. last week nate was let go from his construction job that he's been working at for the past few months. now we're both unemployed, looking for work, & seeking out what god has in store for us next. we have a lot of options & want to be sure we're making the right decision about what to do next. 

please pray that we'd continue to seek god & that he'd provide a job for nate or for both of us if that's what he wants for us.

thanks!

It's a Boy!!

Yesterday we went in for an ultrasound &  little Benjamin Patrick Boland will be here next March! We were super excited to find out the sex and very excited about the upcoming birth of our little boy.

Our Mexico Cruise

We went on a Mexican Riviera cruise from September 21-28. It was so much fun & so beautiful. Here are a few pictures...

an actual update.

it's august & we've been here in moorpark for just about 2 months. in typical nate&alysia style, our life has been flipped upside down more than once in the past couple of months. 

we found out about 6 weeks ago that we're pregnant!! we are sooo excited & cannot wait till 2009. the baby is due march 20 & i'm about 10 weeks along. other than the never ending morning sickness things have been great.

our most recent news...i was let go from my position with the city of thousand oaks this past wednesday. it's an upset & a blessing all at the same time. technically speaking i didn't meet the standards of my probation, which could mean so many things. personally speaking, i think i've been out a little too much with my never ending morning sickness & they got tired of it. either way, god is good & we're excited that i'll have the opportunity to be home during my pregnancy. i've been really sick lately & it's relieved a lot of stress knowing that on those unbearable days i have some time to just rest & enjoy being pregnant. 

that's about it for now...we'll have more soon, i'm sure. loves.

whoa. changes.

i got the job at the city of thousand oaks! i accepted the position last friday & i will be going to do fingerprinting & a physical tomorrow. once that is completed i can give my 2 week notice here in oceanside.

we gave our 30 day notice for our house on sunday so we'll officially be out of san diego on june 24. we love san diego & our little place and are bummed to say goodbye.

there are a lot of changes going on & we continue to ask for prayer that god would be glorified in our decisions & that we would continue to seek him first & remain faituful to his will.

we feel so blessed & we're excited to see what god has coming up in our lives.

more job news...

the city of thousand oaks called me today to notify me that they are starting background checks & will be calling my supervisor on thursday. they're going to call me back once that is done...

please please please keep us in your prayers. we are trying to decide whether or not this is a door that god would have us walk through if he opens it. please pray we would have peace about this decision.
