Well hello @joyfullysmitten! It definitely has been a long time since we have sat and drank coffee/tea (a year to be exact!) There have just been so many things that have happened within that year. So let's begin our chat.
Daniel and I have went through a lot for sure, but by the grace of God we are still married and growing closer to one another along with closer in our faith. God has blessed us with so much and I am overwhelmed with all the blissful things He has provided in my life. Just a month ago or so Daniel and I took a leap into our walk with God and proceeded to get baptized, which you can see here. It was definitely a great way to begin our walk fresh, not just with God, but with one another. Feeling all that junk that weighed us down drown under that water and coming up with a new feeling was absolutely amazing. I can't imagine life without my lovely man and without Him in our lives leading us.
As you know we were also blessed with our little Wessy Doo July 2014, so we got to celebrate his 1st birthday few months back. It just makes my heart break to see how fast these precious kids of ours grow. Weston received the nickname Wessy Doo and Doo from daycare and I have always called him Doo (apparently that is what my mom-in-law called Daniel too!) and watching him change within this past year has been remarkable. He is virtually trying to run, he talks with several words, he is just a smiley boy, and he's just so dang cute! Recently he has started wanting to cuddle with momma on certain nights and how can any momma say no to that!? I may wake up at first with a cranky attitude but when he sees me and I pick him up and he snuggles right in, I just melt and enjoy it. I will sit with him until I feel he is comfortable and ready to lay back down.
Reba, man has she just blossomed! She went from Unit 1 a year ago to now in Unit 3 in her little preschool/daycare! She has become the smartest gal her age! She just absolutely amazes me each and every day at how much she learns and has learned. Just like A, she loves being creative with her hands along with taking care of her baby dolls! I wish we were closer because our kids would just have a blast together.
Another event that took place that most everyone knows is I lost my job with KDHE in October of this year. Although some people think it was bad, I truly believe God had it planned all along. Things were better for me elsewhere and I just needed out to find them. I gave everything to Him that day as I walked out the door, I was not going to let anything affect my emotions, heart and spirit because He is the one with the plans, not me. So here we are in December and I have just finished my second week of training with KanCare (Maximus) working as a Registration Specialist. I passed my certification today and start out on the real floor Monday! In a way it is a little scary but I have been working with many others these past two weeks so I don't feel too scared. We have all grown as a team already and the atmosphere is amazing.
I have started blogging again and working on joining the blog community and other blog communities out there to establish a rep here in the blog world. Plus a friend of mine's husband is working on marketing my photography (Memories Embraced Photography) because I have so much passion for embracing memories via a photograph. I am slowly learning different techniques, editing tools, etc. Excited to see where this business goes!
There are so many things we could talk about I am sure, but I will cut it off for now. I had a great time and look forward to chatting again!
If you would like to join in on the fun, please come on by and express your stories! I would love to read them.
Happy Holidays!
