Update

I figured I would start with an update. Let's see where to start...

Moving... I hate moving. It has to be one of the worst things ever. We are in the process of heading back to Abilene. I thought I would never go back, but all it took was have Faith. We are moving back for many reasons, but I must say the best is that I will get to be a stay-at-home-mom!!! I didn't realize what I was missing out on until summer started. I can't stand being away from her and I am so blessed to have this opportunity to stay home with her. Another great reason, I must say, is being near my brother and his family. Faith and Emma (niece) will be in the same class. It will be fun seeing them and the other girls grow up together. Back to the moving topic... We are trying to sell our house, which is another pain of moving. We have some people that are interested and just hope something works out. I will keep you posted on all this craziness.

Stacy... He is joining my brother in the housing business. He loves working outside and doing hands on projects, so I guess this is going to work out. He and my brother are in the "flipping" business. For those that do not know this term, they buy cheap or for closed homes, fix them up and resell them. It is long hours and very hard work, but he likes it. We hope the industry stays up like it is now.

Faith... She is amazing. I must say I think she is the smartest kid there is (as we all think of our kids). She amazes me everyday with what she can do and how fast she changes. She is mobile and always on the move. I love seeing the curious side of her. She seems to want to know how everything works. She is using some of the sign language we are teaching her and I know will pick more up soon being that she is almost 9 months old. I can't wait to see how she will grow and at the same time want to keep her as she is. She brings so much joy to us and our love for her grows with every passing minute.

Me... Well, I am done with teaching in public school for a while. I must say I loved it and a part of me will miss it. I have enjoyed the way God molded my life. I went into teaching expecting a regular 2nd grade class and ended up teaching various types of special ed. classes. I must say God is great and knows me even better than I know myself (you would think that would be obvious). I LOVED special ed. The kids are amazing and I learned so much from them. I am a much better person after working with the kids I have been blessed to teach. I will definitely go back to special ed. when I start teaching again. I can't see myself anywhere else. They are all a gift from God and I can see God in them daily. Next year... I will be using my teaching skills. I am going to do the mothers' day out thing. I will be able to have Faith with me and still make a little money. I am excited about it and will let you know how it goes.

That is the update for now and I am sure not all of my postings will be this long. I usually do not have that much to say.
