Happy 41-week birthday, Becca-Bear! We started out our week by sending in my prospectus to my committee at BJU. We’re very excited that the Lord answered many prayers, helping me meet my summer goal of completing the first draft of my prospectus. Becca is very happy to have some extra time with her mommy (and so am I!). I’ll continue to do some research for my paper, while I wait to hear back from my committee. Please pray that my committee can get back to me quickly, so I can proceed with completing my degree.

The day after I turned in my prospectus, we took a surprise trip to Greenville, SC. When Becca was born, we had to cancel our flights for Christmas. We were planning to use them for Christmas this year but found out we had to use the tickets before October – use them or lose them. So, we decided to take a surprise trip to Greenville to visit Dad and Mom Jensen. We worked very hard to prevent them from finding out about our visit and were delighted to surprise them both! (We did end up waiting 4 hours for them to come home, but that’s all part of the surprise package!)

We had a great visit and enjoyed our time with Dad and Mom. It was nice to relax and not have a busy schedule. Becca enjoyed playing with her Grandparents.  We got to visit with my brother Joey, as well as my brother Jon and sister-in-law Ashleigh; Jon helped us surprise Ashleigh on Monday morning. We also got to spend time with Rebekah Pringle. Rebekah picked us up from the airport and took us to the house.

One thing we found out on this trip is that Becca has a preference for her own bed. Becca also learned to reach for her mommy and daddy this week, so now we know she knows who we are!
