I am a stay at home mom who homeschools a 5 year old and has an 23 month old. My husband is a youth pastor at the church we have been attending for the last 9 years. We live a pretty simple life with a whole lot of craziness along the way.

It's been awhile...

...since I've posted last. I have had so many emotions going through my head and still do. Life is good, but I still wonder about a lot of things. Anyway, enough of that.

Breana just had her Kindergarten graduation and Grant and I couldn't be prouder. She has done such a good job this past year and I know she will continue to strive. I really can't believe first grade is coming so soon, it really doesn't feel as though she has even been here that long. She is a blessing and I don't know what I would do without her. She helps so much and is very inquisitive. I love that she is always wanting to learn something new. I guess it's a good thing that I am the same way, I love to find out how things work or why something does what it does.

On another note, Jacob is turning 2, in a month. I don't even know how to express what I am feeling, my baby is a toddler now. He is amazing to me of course, boys are definitely a different breed. Walking of the sofa and anything else he can, going down the slide in the backyard head first. He does stuff that Breana never even tried and so, he keeps me on my toes. I just pray that God protects his little body and we aren't at the hospital every week.

It is definitely true that they grow so fast and if you allow it, you can miss a lot. I am very graateful that I can stay home will both of them now and enjoy the good days, and on some occassions look forward to the next day. I feel that God has blessed Grant and I so much and so I am grateful for that.

Grant, I think, is still adjusting to his job. From officer to youth director is a huge change. I love he loves his job and the students, and just wants them to really know and have a relationship with God that overflows from them to others in their everyday life. I know I feel the same way.

As for me I am looking forward to a small break over the summer, I think Breana and I will start school early so that we can finish early next year and actually get to enjoy the Springtime. We have been taking breaks here and there for field trips and they have been great! A Strawberry Patch, the Zoo, the Park, the Aquarium, the list goes on.

Starting in the Fall, I will be a tutor for Classical Conversations. Breana was in a class which is only one day a week on Tuesdays for 2 1/2 hours. I was a substitute for any of the tutors who couldn't be there and so I have decided to take on a class myself. I love this program that she is in and what made me know it was right for our family was when I read in their booklet that everything is related to each other and it all relates to GOD! I was thrilled to find something that showed God in everything! That was most certainly not the only reason, but it made me know for certain I was doing the right thing.
