News on the street is that a baby bump has been spotted… Yes, we are pregnant! After undergoing IVF in November we are expecting a baby boy in August. We’ve waited to make the announcement until now (19 weeks) because we wanted to make sure everything was okay. We were first pregnant with TWINS and lost one of them around 10 weeks. We think it’s just because this one wanted all of the food… We are beyond thrilled and can’t wait to meet our little guy. Both of our parents will be coming to visit after he is born and we can’t wait to have them here to experience Korea and help us with our new addition to the family.

We’ll keep you posted on the rest of the pregnancy. Keep us in your prayers!

We just got back from a two week vacation to the U.S. It was absolutely wonderful! Ryan attended the USAFP Conference in Hilton Head the first week and Kristi Garlow came down to visit us. We also got to see a bunch of our friends from Camp Pendleton- (Jackie, The Palmers, Sanchack, Cormac, Donnelly) which was awesome.

While we were there Ryan ran a 5k race. Of course he had a great time and enjoyed running on the beach.

Then we spent the following week in Folly Beach and rented a beach house. It was fabulous! We saw Ryan’s parents, my parents, Ryan’s sister Christine, her husband Tom and new baby Ella, my grandmother, my Uncle Mike and Aunt Sharon, Ryan’s Aunt Joanne her significant other Howard, our friends Jeremy and Sara, their two kids Trent and Megan and Ryan’s friend Melvin.

Being back in the States made us miss our family and friends even more as well as the convenience of being able to run to Target or the grocery store. We certainly did not realize how great we had it there until we were gone.

Christine did such a great job planning everything and we really appreciated it! The beach house was awesome and the surprise baby shower was really cool!
