scotland and being pregnant


hello all! well, i haven't updated you on anything and it seems that emailing and using computers isn't as frequent as i thought it would be. So for now i'll do a quick update. Right now we are in Scotland, near Glasgow and will soon be moving to Dundee, ( on the east coast) . We only have about 2 1/2 weeks left with our team.
Traveling in Morocco was good for the team. We got to see some of Morocco and do lots of different 'things' you know?? Personally it wasn't that great being in my frist trimester in morocco, food wasn't something i could just pick what i wanted or go to the grocery store and get what tasted good, so threw up more and more towards the end of the trip. Traveling made me feel even worse and i think next time i find out i'm pregnant i'll stay closer to home...or just stay home. But now that we are in Scotland , it's much better, Ginger ale is available most places and i can drive to the store to get any food i want. so that's better. Our team is doing great. They are getting to go into schools, youth groups, work with a youth doing Evangelism, open airs, soon we will be going into prisons..all kinds of cool opportunities that God has given us.
And so i think we are all enjoying it. i feel quite emotional sometimes which isn't very fun for anyone, but today me and mike are enjoying a much needed day off, and we really don't have any responsibilities at all today, it's great! So, we have no plans, maybe a movie, but nothing definite.
I turned 26 last weekened. and it's weird to think that by the time i'm 27 i will have a baby. Well, that's about all for now...i'm really looking forward to getting back to vancouver, having a bit of normalacy in my life, finding a place to live, having some more friends around, i want to start swimming, you know...just have a life really. so that's it for now.........
