So much has happened!

Alright, so it has been forever since I have put anything on here and I figured since we are EXPECTING!!...I should starting writing a little more. So much has happened in our lives within the last few months.
We found out in June that we were pregnant. It came as such a surprise!!..but a good surprise! Things are going really well with the baby. We actually found out that we are having a girl. We have picked out a name. We wanted something that wasn't weird, but was unique. So...we came up with...Kaliana Marie Ashby. I am sure she will be mostly known as Kali. She is due Jan 26th. Its pretty exciting because on my moms side there are 7 great grand kids and they are all boys, so she will be very spoiled. She is already a joy in our lives. I love being able to lay down and feel her kick, as does her daddy. He is just so excited and I am so blessed with such a loving and caring husband. He would do anything for me. He will be the best dad ever!
Blake left for the MTC in August. He is loving every minute of it. He is so excited to get to Ukraine, speak Russian(which he loves) and teach all those people who are waiting for him!! He has become such a different person already. He has sent us a few pictures and we get an email from him every Tuesday and a letter every Friday. I don't want to get use to it to much because it won't be that often when he gets to Ukraine...but I am enjoying them while they last. He will be the best missionary ever and those people in Ukraine are going to be very lucky to have such a great young man who is very very strong in the gospel!
We are currently in the process of building our first house! We are so excited to get out of the "apartment life." They are suppose to start building at the end of the month...so we will see what happens. We will have quite a bit of room. It will be a 2 story home with 4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. I will have to post pictures of the progress. It is going slower than what we would like, but oh well. We are just hoping to be in it by time Kali gets here. We will see, I guess!
Both of our jobs are going pretty well. I love the kids I watch. They are such good kids. Josh on the other hand is ready for something new. There has been alot of things going on there and they changed his shift on him. Starting sometime soon he will go from working 7-4 to 2-11. We are not to crazy about that, but we know the Lord has something in store for us and we are just trying to be diligent and listen because He knows best!
Well, as for now I think that is about it. I guess I should post things more often so they won't be so long next time!!
