Exciting News!

OK, believe it or not, I’m sitting on the side of the road, halfway between Salt Lake City and Pocatello, Idaho. I’m on my way to Kathy’s Workshop of a Lifetime  and I stopped to grab a sandwich and realized I haven’t told you my fun news—and I can’t wait any longer.

I’m expecting my 14th grandchild! Well, it’s not me, of course. Sage and Jason are expecting; it’s been a long time coming, and we are so excited! She’s almost through the first trimester, and we hope that the morning  (and afternoon and evening and night) sickness will be ending soon.

She told me quite a while ago that I could share the news, and she wanted me to announce it before cruise, so if anyone sees her leaning over the edge of the ship, they’ll know what’s going on. I keep forgetting to post it, and since I knew tomorrow I’d be blogging about Kathy, I had to do it right now.

Congratulation, Sage and Jason!

congrats- babies are such a joy and I wish them the best. Is this their first? And I say that as I watch my 3 little ones (ages almost 4, 2 and almost 9 months) run around the living room while watching bugs life!

NOTICE TO ALL: In regard to the comment left above about the 15th grandchild being a Bridegan: just to clear the air, Jared and I are not pregnant. Although we look forward to having children in the near future (hopefully a few years) we are enjoying our time together right now. Sorry for any confusion. We can't be happier for Sage and Jason, this child is lucky to have such great parents and be welcomed into such an incredible home.

WOW! A new son-in-law and now another grandchild! SO many blessings! Congrats to your whole family for the many new additions! And to Shanna and Jared, when the time is right you will be blessed too! It is great to enjoy each other first and then enjoy your children!

WOW! Shelli 14 grandchildren that is awesome. A little disappointed thought Shanna was telling us something but it's great they decided to enjoy each other for awhile!

Just wanted to say thank you for sharing with us the Workshops of a Lifetime! Those demonstrators are so very lucky to have you come to their homes and do a demonstration. You are the best!!!

Inky Hugs,
Terry~~
