Baby Spargo Beginnings

One major reason I wanted to start blogging again was to "document" all of the changes that are taking place in my life-Moving to Omaha, getting married and being pregnant-I know theses are not all of the changes and news worthy events but for now I think they are pretty important.

I will probably spend a lot of time talking about being pregnant and the baby because right now that is what I am SO excited about. Every day is one day closer to meeting our amazing gift from God...UGH I JUST CAN'T WAIT!!!

So...from the beginning...Joe and I decided that we wanted to truly follow God's plan for our marriage and our new life together regardless of if it is what we thought was convenient or what we wanted- we wanted our decisions to be about something much greater. We put all of our trust and faith into God's beautifully crafted plan for our lives-and let me tell you how scary that was and continues to be! Whew serious stuff...but...I know that although at times so much is uncertain, we wake up each day and thank HIM for what HE has blessed us with and continually ask for courage to follow HIS plan for our lives and family.

Before we were married we always talked about waiting a few years to have children..because...well the reason escapes me now. ;)  Joe and I had decided to use Natural Family Planning (NFP) and we took all of the courses, learned the Creighton Model and were excited to work within the system. We knew going into the whole process that using NFP was about God's plan but it also gave us insight into why couples choose to avoid pregnancy. We thought we fit that category for a long time...little did we know that God was preparing our hearts and minds for a very special different category...the Honeymoon baby!!!

After a lot of prayer and discernment we felt as though we were called to be open to creating a new life a tad sooner than we once had talked about...I was just SO ecstatic. I have always felt a calling and desire to be a mom and when Joe and I decided to "abandon the method" that instinct kicked right in. and...a few days after we were married that new life was beginning to form. What an AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL gift! Seriously procreation is way cool! Like sometimes when I feel little baby move I just can't believe that God allowed us to create another human life!!! AWESOME!

In November we will welcome our son or daughter into this world and I am eagerly waiting for that day! Although I can't say that every minute of being pregnant has been easy-it truly has been one of the most beautiful experiences I have had. God is SO good!

Happy Monday Everyone!!

The MOON

Joseph and I have really been enjoying a series that Tom Hanks Produced for HBO called "From the Earth to the Moon."

We have little moon dates where we make popcorn or eat dessert and watch one episode at a time...and let me tell you it is FANTASTIC!!! I always look forward to each new episode..45 minutes just goes too quickly!

It is not a documentary-rather a mini-series that explores the wonders of space travel from the building of the lunar module to the landing on the moon. I have learned so much about NASA and space travel...topics that I never imagined I would be so intrigued by. (we are now even reading John Glenn's memoir's-but i'll post on this at a later date)

Anyhoo-I HIGHLY recommend this series to anyone-especially if you are interested in space travel or want a change of pace from typical programming these days!

Happy Summer!

Joseph and Samantha

Why hello there friends! I have decided to start blogging again and I could not be more excited! It has been way too long so here it goes!

My intention is for this blog to be a source of creativity for me but also a way to keep a record of life events-marriages, children, etc...Life just changes so quickly!!! I hope you will follow along and share your insights and experiences with us as we grow!

I suppose that is all for now-I will leave  you with a few pictures from our wedding-that is where this all began after all!

 Peace- S
