Two years ago on Valentine's Day, Mark gave me THIS:
Then yesterday, on Valentine's Day, Mark bought me THIS:
It is in St. Louis, which means we will continue living in St. Louis, while Mark gets a his combined MD/PhD from THIS school:
We are very excited that Mark will be in his top choice program at his top choice school. We are also very excited to become homeowners. But mostly we are excited about THIS:
I was fifteen weeks pregnant yesterday, Valentine's Day. (This picture is from Thursday.) We call him (it) Bun. On March 11, they will tell us Bun is a boy.
On March 25, we will close on our new house.
On May 1, our lease is up and we will be all moved into our new house.
On August 7-8, Bun is due.
This fall, Mark will leave his job and start medical school.
There has been a lot of uncertaintly for the last couple years. And now, all of a sudden, our big unknowns have all disappeared. I am grateful that my not so graceful patience, has been rewarded. Things have worked out more perfectly than we could have imagined, and we feel incredibly blessed.

Woohoo! That is a lot of good news- congrats guys! -the Vernons
I have to admit I feel a bit choked up at your wonderful news! It's a happy- choke kind of feeling because I am so happy for you and a feeling that causes reflection in my own life when things fell into place and I felt the love of God. It is wonderful to know we are never alone. Congratulations!!!!!
