Junior Eyre

This little critter inspired us to finally start blogging. We got married in February of this year, both of us well-positioned in our 30's, yet only now starting to gain some clarity about how we think God wants us to represent Him vocationally. We talked about having kids. We wanted to have kids. We just thought that we should spend some time building a strong marriage before growing our family. But we told God we would trust Him with the timing, assuming it would be really difficult to get pregnant and that He would heed our strategy to wait at least a year or two before trying. Apparently, the two of us have reproductive magic. Junior (a potentially gender-neutral nickname) is due just after our first anniversary. Or maybe God thought we were ready and knows something more about the right timing than we do. I do know that this changes things A LOT. I thought maybe it would take much longer to adjust to the idea of having a kid so soon, having been the career girl for so long. But, you know, it's a very exciting change. I'm looking forward to this new arrival and the changes he/she will bring. I'm looking forward to tossing my career development plan out the window.
