What's new?!

Wow I can't believe it's been 3 long (..or short?!) months since my last post. It was completely unintentional and life just got busy! The summer was beautiful & wonderful and I'm sad to see it go. But with the end of summer comes another new chapter in our lives-- I have gone back to work!

Remember how funny God is when we think we have our life all planned out? Yeah, He likes to laugh at us. I thought I had my life all planned out: we'd have two (or three!) kiddos and I'd stay home with them until the last one went to school full time. Then I'd return to work. Well considering I don't have a babe at home right now, and my daughter is now in Pre-K five days a week, I'm left a little empty. Sure it's nice to have alone time; I love all the "me time" I can get! But the reality is all that alone time isn't good for my soul. Staying at home thinking about not having a baby right now is just not what's best for my heart. I decided that I need to be out, doing something, being productive with my time.


 
 first day of school

Enter my daughter's amazing school. We made the careful decision to send her to this outstanding private school for many, many reasons. And now I'm honored to be able to say that I teach there! It has been such a blessing to me to be in a positive environment, around wonderful people, starting a new chapter. I could go on and on about how blessed I feel to have this opportunity in my life right now. I never knew how badly I needed this change until it happened. God is still sneakily working in my life when I least expect it, I see it all the time!
