Well I'm almost half way through my pregnancy. I'm pretty excited about that. I just started to feel the baby move. David is anxiously awaiting the day that he will also be able to feel it move. In the meantime, he's just excited for me.

Summer's Over
Well, the summer season has come to an end. No more groups for a little while. Everyone is resting and vacationing.
Big news!!! We are expecting a baby. It was our plan to try to get pregnant right away and God blessed us to do just that. I am 17 weeks along. We have received a due date of February 17, 2009. We are very, very excited. We have been able to see the baby by ultrasound and hear its heart beat. We have been going to the doctor once a month and have an ultrasound every time and even receive a DVD of the ultrasound. I have received many opinions on the sex. Most people think that it is a boy, but David really wants a girl. It doesn't matter to me though I'm leaning toward a boy. I feel bad voicing that when it's the opposite of what my husband wants. Anyway, it is what it is and we will both be very happy with the child that God blesses us with.

Tamales
I love tamales!!! So I jumped at the chance to go and learn how to make them. One of our summer groups decided to purchase all of the ingredients for 500 tamales, help make them, have some for lunch, and leave the rest for the church to sell as a fundraiser. After the masa was ready we made an assembly line and put them all together. There are many things that you can put into them. My favorite is shredded beef with carrots and potatoes. These were chicken with potatoes and jalepenos. They were yummy. Check out the tamales slideshow.

Vacation's Over
Dear friends
A lot has been going on since we got married. First of all, for our honeymoon we rented a condo on the beach in Rosarito for five days. On our wedding day it was beautiful and sunny, but the next few days were cloudy and it rained on one of the days of our vacation time. But, the condo was really nice and it was great to be able to hear the ocean 24/7. We even saw a few dolphins. The condo actually belongs to the Christian author, Josh McDowell. Cool, huh?
Once at home we began to put our house together; trying to find a space for all of our things. David put together and installed a ceiling fan in our bedroom. We use it every night.
Meanwhile, back at the camp, Mardy has been busy expanding the kitchen. There was a bathroom right next to kitchen, but that has been knocked out and we bought another sink and put that there and put in some more counter space. The other sink will really come in handy during those big weeks when we have lots of dishes to wash. Our service space is much bigger now too. We also got two more industrial sized burners so that now makes six. Also, our summer interns have started to arrive and none too soon. This week we have 123 people and over the next few weeks we will have even more.
One day David and I were at my favorite taco stand, Mi Ranchito and there was a medium sized dog just hanging out there. He had a collar on and, for the most part, was pretty healthy. The taco stand owner was telling us that he had been there for about three weeks and had been abandoned by his owners. Apparently, the neighbor was going to call the pound if she could not find a home for it. So we decided to take it home. First we went and bought a collar and some dog biscuits. He wouldn’t get into our vehicle so David walked him home. He barked most of the night
and I was starting to regret taking him in. If a dog barked five blocks away he would bark. He barked at everything! The next day we wanted to take him to the vet and have them bathe him and free him of all the friends that were hitching a ride in his hair. We went to put him in the car and he jumped right in. He’s gotten used to the sounds of his new neighborhood and doesn’t bark half as much as he did the first night. We named him Bailey.
