| Welcome, Jonah Matthew...8 lbs., 21 inches. He was born on 7/18/08, 11 days after his due date, in a quick natural birth. | | |
| Today I completed my application process to be a La Leche League leader!! I'm so excited. Leadership in LLL has been a goal of mine for about two years, and I'm so proud to finally have reached it. My support leader has been wonderful, and I can't wait to get started in my new duties. Whoo-hoo! Happy Leap Day  | | |
| Obviously, life caught up with me. Again. Big news...we're having another baby! We are so excited to welcome our 2nd little one in July 2008. Merry Christmas to the Xanga World. May the day be blessed. | | |
| I love fall. I'm at my parents' house, trying to get some work done. Mom and Fletcher are shopping. It is a cool, sunny day. The leaves are changing a little bit. Perfect, perfect day. | | |
| Thanks to my two Xanga buddies who commented. Allison: Your blog is amazing. You really had me with the Mozambique story! Jenn: I would love to take you up on the "writing buddy" suggestion. How would we make that work? I'm open to any ideas. Here is where I stand for the moment: School starts tomorrow, and I'm teaching again. Freshman Comp. I'm excited and optimistic and very happy to get back into the schedule of school. Even though I was supposed to be done with coursework, I somehow managed to fill my time (again) with two courses...just because. I think I'm addicted to college. I've thought a lot about the issue that I described in my last post, and I've decided that I think too much. Instead of analyzing and worrying and trying to read God's mind (as Jenn put it so well), I'm going to just live each day and enjoy the many blessings in my life. I'm going to give my best to each task that comes along. The sermon today really helped me think about my goals, and I've decided to make a list of what really matters to me. MY GOALS: 1. Nurture a godly family. 2. Maintain good physical and mental health. 3. Earn my Ph.D. and contribute to the field of education. 4. Develop meaningful friendships that help me to grow in my personal and spiritual life. There you have it. (Raises a glass of ginger ale) Here's to a successful academic year. Cheers! | | |
