Belcher Spring Update

Belcher Spring Update

Hello All. And Happy May! Here we are at June 1st  and we thought…. it’s time for an update.  The past month and a half have flown by! We can’t believe that we are just a month out of meeting our new little one. Any guesses for what the gender is? I think girl and Carl thinks (only because of statistics) that it might be a boy. Either way we are going to be thrilled and are just so thankful for God trusting us with one of his blessings.

            April, 2014- wow it’s already over? April ended the 2014 Ignite Spring semester.  (Check Ignite wrap up for more details on the ministry) In April we celebrated Easter, a baby shower in Sebring, a quick trip to Haiti for Carl, and a leadership retreat for me with my Key Club officers.  I personally loved April- Loved the weather-Loved the experiences, just don’t ask me too many details about them because May has been so consuming that I have lost most recollections from April. 

May in the Belcher family has been exciting (Hints why April is already fuzzy)! We are in overdrive (Carl calls it nesting) in preparation for the baby, I am finishing up my school year, and we are completing our foster care certification classes.  May was kick started with a quick fun trip to The Kentucky Derby for Carl’s mom’s (?!) birthday.  Since arriving back to Fort Myers we have been preparing our home (and hearts) for this new little one. And I must interject that Carl has selflessly served me this month in all of my crazy home décor requests.  So far we (He) has completed repainting the kitchen, swapped couches in the library/living room, put the guest room together, hung/rehung multiple wall art and worked in the baby’s room (Can I call him super husband).  I am so thankful for the way he serves me.

Also this month Carl and I celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary, and we celebrated 9 years together at the end of the month. I can speak for both of us when I say God truly continues to bless our marriage and we love each other more today than yesterday.  In reflecting on these past three years Carl and I are so thankful for the growth that we have had in our ministry. We know that our relationships and life would not be the same without your love and support. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

 

Blessings-

The Belchers
