I've been busy, but with what?

Geez, it's only been 8 months since I blogged last. Seems like yesterday! :)

Life is great! We have our ups & downs but God is always with so we know everything is under control.

Maddie started the 5th grade. She is doing well and is enjoying her Challenge class more this year. Angel is now in 4th grade and growing by leaps & bounds when it comes to math. Tristan is doing great in 1st grade. She loves her teacher & is slowly coming out of her shell at school. Travis is loving kindergarten. He is in the P.M. class and goes stir crazy waiting for his bus all day. Last but never least, Jackson is in his second year of preschool. He loves school but he says he misses his old bus driver. He went from a pretty lady, Ms. Shannon, last year to a man, Mr. G, this year. Who can blame him?

Chris & I working on building the foundation of our business. We love working together and the hours we choose. We have a great support network and some great new friends. We have amazing earth friendly, organic, affordable products. They really are top of the line. I love not being all about sales, sales, sales! Chris & I have both found a real passion in getting know new people and helping them see they are not living to their full potential. Our goal will always be to serve others so we may serve the Lord!

We recently started our membership at the "Y" and are just having a great time. We both need to lose a few pounds and get in better physical shape. Aside from that it really gives us time to focus on ourselves so we can be better parents for the kids. We really want to set good examples for all of them. I met a new friend(?), the elliptical, and we have rocky relationship so far, but we are working on it! :)

Chris & I are heading down to Portland this weekend for business and always look forward to that time. It is fun just being with each other and we get great training & association.

Crystal is asking for the kids back and we have some court dates over the next few months. At first I was stressed and upset about it. I would never think she is in the wrong for wanting her kids. It does show me she has the desire to take care of them. However, I don't think we are on the same page as far as what the kids need right now. We have complete confidence that God will put them where he wants them and we will find peace with whatever the judges decision ends up being.

I have some amazing women in my life that counsel me and give me direction with prayer & that is something that is so precious to me!


I am looking forward to what God has in store for us over the next year.
