please hold while your party is being reached...

Sorry for the delay. 2 month delay to be exact. After losing my job and acclimating to the SAHM position again, I was more like a chicken with its head cut off than a smooth-writing blogger. But I'm back now that my big Kindergartener is all settled in school and I have a bit of breathing room. Today's post is just a little silly but something to fill the page and catch you up on our summer while I organize my posts for next week.

To start, here is me on my first day home, unsure of what to do with myself now that I'm home...

I decided to make bread and Boogie watched intently:

We went on Walkersville's Southern Railroad for the 4th of July, Boogie brought Stitch and Sweetgirl brought a MH doll:

We went to see Daddy/Hubbs sing with the Waterboyz for Jesus at Keys Stadium:

Getting comfy while we wait to go in the stadium

No pictures, please!

Boogie got a haircut:

My aunt and uncle came to visit from Germany and this was my favorite family photo taken while they were here:

Boogie got to meet Bob the Tomato at the Family Christian Bookstore grand opening:

We went to the beach and celebrated Sweetgirl's 12th birthday while there:

We had a Monster High Sleepover party when we got home for Sweetgirl:

 

 

And finally... Boogie started Kindergarten!

i may have gone crazy

This is my first semester at Liberty University, with a goal of majoring in Religion. I desperately want to be more deeply rooted in the Word. I am also in another ministry program studying to become a pastoral counselor as well working on my pastoral ordination. God has led me on this path of combining Psychology and Religion and my hope is to give back to God by helping the hurting in this world. Specifically, I feel drawn to bringing to life the Word of God to parents of special needs children so they can see the beauty in the life God has planned for them. 


That's the nice way to say it. What that really means is: I'm currently taking an intense 8-week condensed semester of a Psychology course, a Theology course, a ministry course for pastoral counseling as well as working on my (very labor intensive) application to become ordained as a pastor. Yikes... God, lead me through this please, 'cause I certainly can't do it on my own! 


I'd tell you more about it but I have to go study...
