Late Nights

Babies are cute and smelly and always asleep but also never sleep long enough run on sentances can't do the experience justice. I have learned to change diapers and swaddle, and even feed. I also learned to just wait. Jezy cries sometimes and I do everything I can think of but its just crying I have to remind myself. Evintually she stops then we can play again. Mostly its me playing with her at this point. I'm so excited to see her personality come out.... Anyway here is some more pictures for those of you who don't have myspace..

The Baby is Near

It has been a long time seems I have posted sorry anyone who has been looking for an update. My wife emily is 8 months 2 1/2 weeks pregnant so only 2 and 1/2 weeks left. I'm getting anxious I guess. I am not a good waiter I like change but thats the thing about kids. They are forever. I can't wait thought and I'm so glad we don't know the sex. It seems to help us from having to many preconceived ideas of how our baby will be. Shoot we don't know the size the sex the hair or eye color, or well anything else so I'm officially posting my guess here. Please guess and the closest will win a prize.

Sex: Boy
Weight: 9lbs even
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Blue
Desciption: Skinny and Long

Okay Guys your turn if you beat me the prize will be cool promise, Now Go for it. Oh yeah and you can't have the same as anyone else or your both out of the contest.... Also please say a prayer for us to say healthy especially the baby....

The Power of Prayer

Well Just a small update.... I will be starting my 40 days leave 24 July and while on leave I'm going on my mission trip to casa de elizabeth, see my ministry page to learn more. After that I have a week to clear the army and 20 days travel time. Then I'll be making my way across the map to Cali and Portland. So if you like me and you want to party come on and let me know. Anyway so today I say an older gentleman who was obviously a veteran of ww2 or korea. I was going to say hi just because I have mad respect for older veterans . I walked up and he had a Jesus saves hat. I told em I liked it and he started ask me if I went to church and how my relationship with God was.

I told him I was working towards my Bible degree and my hopes for success in working with children this next month. He added my name to his prayer list to ask his church for prayers. Then he did something that caught me off guard. As I was trying to sneak away he said stop and asked me to please pray with him right there. 30 seconds later it was done a quick painless prayer that really more than anything made me feel like i was very silly. Talking about my dreams and ambition for ministry and this great old loony guy was doing it. I need to stop in the fog of life and just pray. May God continue to bless me with a dailly spiritual slap in the face. AMEN

Missing In Action

Hi all I've been missing for a while. Sorry it's been so long but the the things is I've been working like a dog lately. I have gotten alot closer to finish my career in the army and move a step closer to finishing my degree. Right now me and Em have been looking for work for a job for me either in Stockton or Portland. Stockton because it's family and it will be easier to get work and support my wife, Portland because it's Portland oh yeah there's the whole finishing cascade thing. Plus I'm excited about showing my wife all the great churchs in Portland. So my friends life has been a great blessing. A week and one half ago I got to see the baby he was so cute. Waving and shaking his butt. ( I say He but we are waiting to find out) Anyway they tried to tell us it was older than he was becuase he was so big. But that happens with us Peters babies. I think my mom said I was 9lbs 10 ounces and my brother was bigger than me. But luckily enough while my aunt in law was down I learned the richards girls were great baby makers. They just pop em out with no real issues. So hopefully her natural baby producing genes despite my huge baby genes will not be so bad but we will see....

Till we meet again,

Ryan Lee Peters

Check out the ministry page it will be soon.

My friend Jordan

My friend Jordan has come to live with me for a while. He is a great guy and helps out around the house alot. We have fixed some of my front lawn, planted some cool flowers and painted alot in my house. We play video games and talk about God girls and good music... It's nice to have friends around. We are planning a mission trip this summer to visit a cool orphanage and help them out. We are planning to learn from them and just be there to help ease some pressure from the day to day work it takes to take care of 120 young children. These lives these "Lost Youth" someday will be blessing or cursing others. I just hope we can be some sort of blessing in the limited capacity of a few weeks. We have more information on my ministry site but just wanted to update some of you guys.... Also my thoughts this week have been centered around the journey of life. It seems the destination is so important in the end Jesus will ask have you fed sheltered provided for him. I think we (religious folks) forget the journey is as important as the destination. Who can I serve today? Who can I give my life for right now? Where are my tools needed? While thinking this I realise I have so many great friends and blessings and just wanted to point out to the world that Jordan is a great guy who has always listened and lived the journey....

OH No

Well lately I've been worried about my baby. This whole being a dad thing is scary. I always imagined I will be a lil over-protective, but I'm so freaked out right now I've going to have to learn to chill a lil bit. No point to be a crazy over protective freak, But at least at this stage I see how fragile life is. My baby (God willing) is only one cm thats crazy.... But in a month or two the arms and legs will allready be mostly determined. I wonder how God will bless my baby. Maybe he/she will be really small (make a great plumber) or big and strong or an athlete or a writer or so many possibilities. I think it's fun thinking about all the what if's. I especially wonder if it will have my wierd nose. I'm pretty sure he/she will have very wide feet. Over the next nine months I have so much to do to better myself and figure out how to afford a baby. God will help me I'm sure but it will take alot of work.
