Sad, but true...

It's been a long time since we've updated the blog....of course, it has been on our "to-do" list for quite a few weeks now, but the longer we go without updating, the more overwhelmed we get with trying to fit everything that has happened into one blog post. Well, now that the ticker on the side of this post says we have "30 days to go," I figured it'd be best to at least get something started. I know the reality is that there won't be any more time between now and 18 years from now to update the blog. We promise we'll do better at posting pictures, though.

A lot has happened since our last post on April 15th. Some of the biggest highlights include:
*Viktor completing his first year of seminary--1 down, 3 to go! We have really enjoyed some extra time together now that the pressure of class and schoolwork has settled for a couple months. He'll start back in August with an intensive class and then be back at it full-time in Sept.
*Celebrating my (Kristen) birthday on May 5th.
*Celebrating our 2 year anniversary on May 12th.
*A visit from our friend's Matt and Heni (missionaries in Malawi). Heni is from Hungary and knows Viktor from previous ministry there.
*Celebrating with the 2009 ATS grads and especially our friend, Dan, and his wife Steph. We miss them now that they've moved to northern Indiana to serve in a local church, but we couldn't be more proud of them!
*Two very sweet baby showers...one in KY and one in IN. What a blessing to share the excitment of this new little life with our dearest friends and family?!
*Two trips to Bloomington to visit with family and friends before our travel was restricted due to baby Rozsa's close due date. We love spending time on the lake with family in the summer, and though those days may be over with for this year, we did get to enjoy two weekends of boating and family time in May/early June.
*Attending a Lexington Legends baseball game as a "reward" from Viktor's work.
*Attending a birthing class and baby class at the hospital where we will deliver. It was fun to go through these classes together and learn more about what we can expect in the next couple of months.

There you have it. It's been busy, but we have enjoyed every minute of celebrating with our friends and family, growing together as a couple, and anticipating things to come! So far, the month of July looks clear on our calendar, compared to the past few months. Unless baby Rozsa decides to come late (into August), we'll be celebrating our daughter's birth this month, and we couldn't be more excited.

Unfortunately, I'm on the computer that doesn't load and upload pictures very well. So, even though we have many pictures to share, you'll have to wait until next time. I won't promise anything, but maybe I'll do a follow-up "picture blog" tomorrow!
