Solve the Mystery!
Guess what I've been anxiously waiting to tell you? Well, you have to guess.* The answer is in the following verses:
*If you already know the answer, you are disqualified. (We're on the honor system here -- but I can find out pretty easily whether you know or not -- so no cheating!)
Update 9:00 p.m.: Congratulations to first-time commentor, Christian, for being the first and only person so far to guess correctly. I'm getting a nice chuckle over some of the other guesses! Keep them coming. :) So far, we have four women who have guessed correctly. Way to go, observant ladies!
A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.
Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid.
*If you already know the answer, you are disqualified. (We're on the honor system here -- but I can find out pretty easily whether you know or not -- so no cheating!)

My guess is that you're expecting another little blessing from the Lord! If that's true, congrats! I look forward to hearing how your daughter gets along with the new baby!
If not, well...Hmmm, I have no idea what else it would be!
Can't wait to hear your announcment!
You're going to be an Aunt! Congratulations!
Christian
- first time commenting, but a faithful reader
Are you pregnant?
Are you pregnant?
~Nancy
Are you expecting another baby??
Yay!
~ Ruth
Are you an AUNT??? If so, great big congratulation hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The whole Bunnett family is standing around and the only thing we can come up with is that you are crowning your husband, who turned out to be your brother. Good guess?
Hi Crystal,
Gosh, you have me racking my brain on this, but I am suspecting that maybe you are expecting? As in another child? I also was thinking maybe you were moving into a house.
Regardless, I am anxious to hear what you anxiously want to tell me!
Good guesses everyone, but only Christian and Laura have gotten it so far (and their answers aren't going to be posted until at least a few more people figure it out.)
C'mon, you can do it! Read the post again a few more times. Since I posted some of the wrong answers, this should help you narrow things down.
I am stumped.....waaaaa?????? Did Jesse get a job? A new home? An "A" on a project you helped him with????? Now I am going to be up all night trying to figure this out. I might call you........hee hee.
It looks like your going to be an aunt?? How exciting!!!
Well, I think I know the answer from another source but none of these verses give me any help! I'm not too good at figuring out puzzles. I look forward to the answer to come.
Are you becoming an AUNT? If so, congrats!
Are you going to be an aunt?
Hmmm....Let me guess....
Jesse is going to start preaching at your church?
You and Jesse have read the entire Old Testament together?
A sibling is getting married?
Your blog is getting a makeover (kidding, it looks great)
I GIVE UP!!!!
Oh that is so-o-o-o clever! You are going to be an aunt, aren't you? Is your sister, Bridgette, expecting?! Many congratulations to her and her husband! How exciting.
hmm... i'm completely stumped. i'm going to guess it has something to do with jesse's finals and/or the presentation he made about his 20-page paper.
Ooh! I got it! I was completely stumped trying to figure it out in my feedreader, but as soon as I looked at it on your blog, I saw the line-up of the AUNT down the first letters of the verses. And then I remembered that someone just told me yesterday that Brigette is expecting. Yay!! I'm so excited for them and for you! I can't wait until my turn comes to be an aunt...hopefully soon. ;-)
Oh, and I love the "your husband turned out to be your brother" guess. That one had me laughing out loud. :-)
Jesse passed the bar exam? I don't think he would've taken it already..but....
jolene
Jesse passed his finals (and his bar exam)? Anxious to hear...

Hi Crystal,
It looks like you are going to be an aunt!!!
Congratulations!
Jessica in GA
I'm a dunce because I just can't think of the answer. Please relieve our suffering and tell us the answer.
I'm still not sure! LOL My first guess is you are expecting.
I waited until this morning to reply, but I'm still not getting it! LOL
You're going to be an aunt?
You are going to become an auntie?
*A-U-N-T* first letters of each verse
Katie in Ohio
I think you're going to be an aunt. :-)
Ah, after pondering your puzzle all night, I finally realize that you are going to be an auntie!!! Congratulations! That is so exciting!
Jesse is finished with his coursework and tests this semester and they went swimmingly.
I don't get how that scripture would lead one to believe you are pregnant, but either way congratulations, you seem happy!
new poster here. is law school over? graduation?
My guess? I don't know! I read the scriptures you posted and I still have no idea. I guess I'll never make a good detective!
Okay, I'll guess. Jesse has been offered a high profile job with HSLDA or another Christian lawyer group and you'll be moving!
Your husband graduated successfully? Passed the bar?
I'm guessing that Jesse has finished law school? or that he passed a really important exam. And can now be a lawyer. Am I on the right track?
The other guess that comes to mind but may not fit the other verses is that one of you has a sibling that is getting married or expecting a child.

Jesse is done with school and you are going to stop your online business and blogging?
I don't know if this could be true, but just a wild guess!
Hmmm...I think you got a different--better--position with The Old Schoolhouse Magazine. =)
I think it is something like what Becky Miller said.
Oh! I get it! You're going to be an aunt!
You're getting someone to help with your household duties? Or your work duties?
I'm stumped otherwise!
I am totally stumped! I was thinking you were going to have another baby too, but that is obviously not it....hmmmmm. Has Jesse been asked to lead a ministry of some kind? grrrrr :) I can't wait to find out!
You're going to be an aunt? The 1st letters of all the verses spell it out. Just guessing!
I have no idea either...are you EVER going to tell us?! And by the way...the new blog pics look great!
This is my first time commenting. I've been reading your blog for a couple of months. My guess: You are going to be an aunt?
Amanda
My first guess after reading your post was "She must be pregnant!" Really, I have no idea.
Lots of great and amusing guesses, but none of them are right (though I wish some of them were. :). Keep trying! It's not as hard as you think!
Okay- "go to the ant..." Well, an ant lives in a hill, and Capitol Hill refers to Washington, DC. So, Jesse is running for President- no, too young- um, is running for political office- no, has been hired as an aide and y'all are moving to DC.
You're right! It was soooo easy to figure out. I just had to follow all the easy clues. (sarcasm intended) Whatever your good news is- Congratulations!
I am no good at riddles! LOL
you got a house?
You are going to be an AUNT! Well, that is my guess...
Oh come on! Tell us, pleeeeze! I don't even read your blog regularly -- just came across it today -- but I'm dying to know what the answer is! (I have a problem with dying of curiosity!)
Lois
Crystal,
You probably haven't ever had your readers checking your bog so frequently. I personally have no guess whatsoever, I thought that some of the comments were very good guesses though.
Please, please, please, please, please, please,please, please, please, please, please,please, please, please, please, please,please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please,please, please, please, please, please,please,please,please, please, please, please, please, TELL US!!!!!!!!!!!!
