So, you want an update, eh? Well, Matt and I have officially resigned from our teaching positions at MIS. We will be heading back to Arkansas soon. If we can get flights worked out, it will be before Christmas.
If I have piqued your interest, then please, read on. There have been some recent developments in my health. More precisely, there’s one major development that will develop over the next few months and greatly influence my health. We are expecting a child. And I find myself wishing more and more that those stork stories were true.
We are sad to be leaving here, frightened by the possible complications this pregnancy could create, and excited about a new life.
We have a little over a week to sell, give away, and pack up all our things. My rat poison (which apparently is baby poison too) was replaced by twice daily injections. Matt is getting good at stabbing me. It’s a crazy life, but someone has to live it.
Ways you can pray for us (if you are so inclined):
- my health and the baby’s health
- Matt’s health (he’s sick right now with some kind of cold/infection)
- the long ride home
- financial issues (my new medicine is quite expensive and our insurance only covers us while we are out of the States)
- job/housing issues (we will be presuming on the graces of our parents initially, but hope to find a home to call our own soon)
- finding good doctors (anyone who happens to know a good hematologist in the LR area, let me know)
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers and we will see many of you soon.

congrats! that's great news!
The Nintendonesians already know this by email, but we're expecting too. But now it's here for posterity and whoever might not know. :)
Hey guys. Just wanted to make sure you were okay. Please let us know how you are doing ASAP. You and all the millions of people in Asia now homeless are in our prayers.
...and congrats on your kiddo!!! Wholy moly!!!
So, I'm out of touch for a few months, and then I see that you're back in Arkansas...well...isn't that special. Congratulations you two. If only Diane would get pregnant so she and Shane could move back as well. Ha. Anyway, send some email my way, as in evantheheadlessthompsongunner@yahoo.com, so I can yell at you some more!
In this season of miraculous birth, it seems appropriate to point out the miracle - not to mention scandal - if Dianne should turn up pregnant. Shane
