While at work on Friday one of the cooks found out that I'm pregnant...(not sure how he could miss it.) and promptly asked me, "Why would you want to bring a child up in this perverse world?"
I replied, (softly) "I don't live in the same world you do."
He nods..."yeah, guess that's right.  If I had thought through it, I wouldn't have had any kids.  I mean, it's just so messed up and even the school system isn't right."
Wanting to continue the conversation but I had to bring food out to a table-when I came back in he asked me where I went to church.
"CFC, Christian Fellowship Center in Madrid...right up the road from where you live.  You should come some Sunday and check it out."
He then asked for a description of it, which I responded we were charismatic and then had to try to describe that.  He said he'd like his children to go to church, but his parents always made him go to a conservative Catholic church and it was so boring that he didn't want to do that to his kids. 
I smiled and said that he should come to CFC-that it was nothing like a Catholic church!

Whether or not he'll ever come, I'm not sure...but it was really encouraging to have someone asking me about church and my lifestyle.  As much as they all tease me (and couldn't grasp the idea of all the standards I had while courting Jarrod) they also respect it.  Little by little...God's reaching them!

Today is our six month anniversary.  Unfortunately I have to work all day, but after I get out Jarrod and I are going to get some dinner and then find a Christmas tree!  We both love Christmas time and being that we'll be away for Thanksgiving and won't be able to put it up then, we decided it would be a fun "event" to do on our 6 month mark!
I have a good husband.  He works hard and love me and this little baby.  I really appreciate him and his heart for God. 

On Friday afternoon one of the people that came in was an 85 year old woman named Betty.  She comes in early in the afternoon and drinks at the bar until late in the evening and then eats dinner.  Her husband died 2 years ago and every time she comes in she'll just sit and talk to you.  Seriously, she barely even takes a breath in between topics.  Well, I sat down and ate lunch while talking to her and while sitting there, she turned to me and said...What do you think about homosexuality?  (without taking a breath, she continued)  And what about abortion?  You know, I think homosexuality is wrong.  (she then continued on with...)  When I was 24 I had sex for the first time and I got pregnant.  I didn't tell my parents because it would have shamed them and disgraced my family.  I'm ashamed to say I had an abortion.  No one ever knew.  My parents didn't know.  I didn't tell my husband.  I've never told anyone before.  I'm not sure why I told you now.  I've always felt horrible that I took a little human life.  Girls just flippantly say they're going to get an abortion, but they don't know about the haunting feeling that you took a life.  They don't know that you'll always miss that little baby. 
Of course, without letting me get a word in edgewise, other than to nod and try to smile understandably-she changed the topic. 
I found out Tuesday night that she died.  Natural causes, it looked to be in her sleep.  But now I wonder, was I supposed to share Christ with her?  I missed my chance.  I figured I'd see her again.  I'd have plenty of more chances.  I wish I would have spoken up.  But I didn't, and I messed up, and now it's too late.

Grams and I finished the 5 hour long Pride and Prejudice on Tuesday night...she's been wanting to see it and we've been watching different movies or playing scrabble on Tuesday nights- fun times

Feeling sick and tired all day doesn't leave me desiring to do a whole lot after I get home from work!  Working at Lobster House while pregnant has proved to be a bit of a challenge cause all it takes is for me to get a whiff of something I (suddenly) don't like and my stomach tosses and turns!  I randomly don't prefer ground beef or spaghetti sauce, can't stand Italian dressing, but love apples, bananas, grapes, yogurt & canned pears.  Interesting! 
I still haven't decided about a doctor yet, but def need to do that soon.  I've had good recommendations about both Dr. Lyons and Dr. Bero-I have no idea which way to go.  Ideas?

I have gifts that need to be sent out to Texas for my nephews...Obviously I've been lacking the motivation to go to the Post Office too!  Sorry Riley and Aidan!
