Working!

I started my new job this week at the YMCA. I love it! I was working at the camp helping out where I was needed for a few hours this past week. Tuesday I will start in my classroom. I am an assistant in the kindergarten class. I am really excited to start and meet the children in my class. Abbey keeps asking me when it is time for her to go to my work. She will be going in the childcare for a few hours while I am working. She is looking forward to it and I think it will be a lot of fun for her. Mike has been awesome helping with the house and taking care of the kids in the morning when I was working this past week. It made the transition so much easier! Thank you Mike!! No more late nights for me on week days. Mike can tell you.....I can't hang past 9:30pm. Getting up at 5:30am takes its toll if I don't get my sleep. And if you know me you know I love my sleep.

Back home!

We are all home after a great week at Ocean City MD!!
The kids loved the beach and boardwalk! They all played
great together and had a lot of fun. At the end of the day
I am not sure who was more tired the kids or adults.
I am trying to get unpacked today so I have not downloaded
the new pictures yet. When I do I will post some. It is
good to be back home.

Happy Anniversary!

Today 17 years ago I was getting ready for our wedding!!! Today I am getting our family of 6 ready for church and I Love the preacher!!!! I would have never thought that this is where Mike and I would be 17 years later!! I am so blessed to have a husband like Mike. He is fun, smart, handsome, life of the party, great father, great communicator, I could go on and on but, I can't be late for church!!! Mike I love you now more than the day I married you and let me tell you that is A LOT!!!! Thank you for being such an awesome partner for life. I can't wait to see what the next 17 years hold for us.

Vacation here we come!

This picture of my son's hermit crab describes our
vacations. We almost always come home with a new
hermit crab. We are going with friends to O.C. MD.
I am almost all packed after staying up til 2 and 3am
the last two days. That seems to be the only time I
can get my work done. I am looking forward to eating
some seafood and spending some quality time with
my family and friends . As much work as it is to go
to the beach it is so worth watching them play and
have a great time (usually without fighting).
We are having a few baby/child dedications at
church in the morning (this always hold a special
place in my heart) and then we get to head out!

Job

Well there is a lot of news going on in our house! I am not going to bore you will all of it. One of the big things going on is that I am going to be starting a new job in a few weeks. I have mixed emotions about this new chapter for my life. I also have confidence like never before about this next step. You see, I prayed for God to make it obvious to me if this is where He wants me and.......you guessed it.......He made it VERY obvious ( I was hired on the spot ). What you may not know is that I have been a stay-at-home-mom for over 11 years. So, with all that said I have loved staying home but, I am excited to get out of the house for a few hours and help financially too.
