Before & After

My very delightful friend Christine introducted me to this website today and I've spent the last 2 hours devouring it. Maybe I'll actually have time for such things once I quit my job in a month!

Thought I'd share...

June is here.

We met with our new house last Thursday night and had such a great time. We are really excited about the students and the house, in general. It seems to be a really close and fun community. The current Resident Heads are being so welcoming to us and very willing to answer any and all of our questions. We are meeting with the house twice more in the coming week and we feel that we will really get to know some of the students before summer comes, something we really didn't expect!

The pregnancy is going along ok. I'm not feeling great-actually I feel pretty crappy most days. Everyone tells me that this period will pass, hopefully quickly! Our baby one inch, in size at the moment....sooo hard to believe he/she will grow to be 7-9 pounds!

We are excited about the summer and starting to finalize our plans. We are hoping to visit our good friends, John & Lucia, in Scotland in August and we are so excited about that! We're also planning a trip to St. Thomas Island as one of our friends is having a destination wedding there. So fun!

Charles has 1.5 weeks left of school-Spring Quarter has felt SO long. We both are anxious for him to be done and have a little bit of free time.

Baby Huff!

We are expecting our first baby, due January 8th, 2010!


I am about 2 months along and feeling pretty good, not too much sickness. We had our first ultrasound yesterday, what a cool experience, and the baby is healthy, has a strong heartbeat and is doing great!

Resident Head

After two years of interviews, prayers & waiting...we just learned that we got a position at the University of Chicago (where Charles goes to school) as Resident Heads.

We are SO excited! We will be in Thompson House, working about 65 undergrads, planning events, hanging out, welcoming freshmen to college, taking them various places in the city, and working in the thick of college dorm life. It comes with an apartment, health insurance, and a meal plan. We will love our life!
