This is all new for me!!!

Okay so I decided to set up a blog to keep everyone posted on what is going on here in the South. We have been here for about 3 months and it has been a crazy time for the Barber family. We we first got down here we were both substitute teaching and saving as much as possible for the doctor's bills. That paid peanuts and Beth has been so tired during this pregnancy that we could see that wasn't going to work. We were fortunate that Steve (my father in law) gave me a job working for him at his real estate company. So for the past 2 months or so I have been working for him. It really was a life saver. I don't know how much more substituting I could do to get paid nothing well close to that!!! I enjoyed the kids, but wasn't much more than a glorified babysitter. Although, I probably made more babysitting. So needless to say that adventure is over. It hasn't been all work for us though. In February we went to Hawaii and enjoyed the sun and also survived the tsunami of 2010....all 2 centimeters of it. It made for a crazy day of waiting and hoping the best but we luckily made it out alive. Hawaii was great I felt sorry for my wife she could not do very much because of the pregnancy but what she did do alot of was soak up the sun so I think she had a good vacation. Life since Kauai has been as normal as newly married pregnant couples can be. We are now in the process of picking out and buying everything for our new baby boy. We currently have a crib, bassinet, changing table and some very cute clothes. The newest struggle is picking out a baby name. The lead for a while has been Connor James Barber, but we have some other ideas now and are indecisive about them.
