Where I have been

Some of you may be wondering where I have been lately. There have been a few things keeping me busy, one of which was my birthday. We have also had some amazing fall weather, which has kept us outside a lot more as well.

A week ago today, I turned the big 3.0.  At the beginning of the year, I was not looking forward to my birthday but then my aunt gave me a different perspective, and after that I was REALLY looking forward to it!

I was also looking forward to Saturday, because I was getting a makeover! My sisters took me out and totally made me over as a birthday gift to me. Man, am I glad they did. With me being a stay-at-home mom, I really didn’t do much with my appearance. I just didn’t see the need, but now I see what was missing. I will share more about my girls day out, once I have the before and after pictures to show you.

God also has been teaching me, so I’ve taken this week to continue to get to know Him better and learn what He wants to teach me.

On a different note, Sunday was the first time that I taught Sunday school by myself. Not only was I the only teacher, I had 2 extra girls to teach. I was very nervous. I went over my lesson one last time on Friday (because Saturday was a busy day and I wouldn’t have time) and really felt that I was ready. Then Sunday morning, when the girls were all sitting there watching me and waiting, all my thoughts and planning went right out the window. I couldn’t remember anything! I was able to read the lesson to them and once I was about halfway in, I started getting more relaxed and was able to teach them better. I think (hope) that they got something out of the lesson, I know I did! This was a great learning experience for me and also a little taste of what it will be like to be the only teacher. I am still thoroughly enjoying teaching Sunday school and I am learning a lot!

How has your week been?

My Mid-Life Crisis?

This has been a very difficult year for me. I turned 35 this year and I feel like I'm in the middle of a mid-life crisis. I have been trying to 'find' myself again. For the last 12 years I have pretty much had things figured out but this year when my youngest started grade 2, it felt like my whole life tipped over. Now, there wasn't any outward tragedy that I went through, no, it was more of an emotional, internal struggle that has been taking place. Realizing that my family doesn't need me the same way, but they still need me. Having a lot more free time and not knowing how to fill it, actually, to say that I didn't want to do my domestic chores to fill my time would be more accurate. So many decisions were suddenly available to me, decisions I hadn't considered in years. "Do I get a job? Full or part time? What kind of job? Do I go to school - just take some courses or get a degree? What kind of courses/degree? Do we have the money for me to go t...

Photo post

So, I was gonna write a nice long post today, but then I remembered that I had a bunch of cute pictures in my camera just waiting to be displayed. So, enjoy… I couldn’t think of a cute saying for each picture, cause It would take me a long time. I’m just not witty like that. But, I hope you enjoyed the pics! Have a great day!!
