Life ROCKS

Life is so wonderfully crazy right now! I started my FOED 1110 class yesterday. I've completed all of my assignments due this week except for one test, which I'm hoping to take while the kids nap this afternoon. Ya for me!! It's easier than I thought so far. Although I'm spending a lot of my time on the laptop and less time playing with the kiddos!! At least right now Izzy's asleep and Colin and Maddy are occupied with Charlie and Lola, I don't know what it is about this show, but they both love it!!!! They don't want to do anything else when this show is on!!

I'm super thrilled that in June I'll start teaching a 2 year old Wednesday night class at church!! I just LOVE Amy Sain, our children's director at church! She's such an amazing woman!! I can't wait to begin that adventure!! It's going to be super fun!! PLUS my kids will start going to Wednesday night class, which is going to be wonderful!! I didn't grow up in church so I want my kids to be as involved as possible without me pushing them into it, ya know? I'm still helping in a 3 year old Sunday School Class. Mrs. Sharon, the teacher, is going to be working with her oldest daughters class this summer so, by the time we get back from vacation and get back to Sunday school there will be a new teacher in the class. I love Mrs. Sharon but I'm excited that she gets to work with her daughters class!!

The more involved we get with Church the better life seems to go! Hubby is going to begin helping with a ministry at church that goes to the Juvenile Detention Center here in Murfreesboro. I'm so proud of him for doing that!! And it seems like the doors keep opening up for us!! It wasn't a month ago that I began thinking, "I wonder if I could do more?" and I received an e-mail from Amy that the Children's ministry needed more help!! And the church had a ministry fair and that is how hubby got involved!! It's amazing!! And so fulfilling!! It's just more wonderful than words can describe!!

Also, my mommies group is hopefully going to become involved in my Church's meals on wheels program. I've been going back and forth between Joyce (who runs the meals program) and Brooke (our mommies group organizer). And we are close to getting something worked out! That is going to be amazing!! I had hoped that my mommies group would get more involved with our community, and now it is, yeah!!!

We leave for vacation tomorrow night! I am actually getting excited about the beach!! The warm weather, the sand, a TAN haha!! We are going to drive through the night to and from Florida, so we don't have to listen to screaming, bored kids the whole way there! They'll go to sleep in the car and wake up and be at the beach! Wonderfulness!!! I don't know if that is a real word or not but it's the best way I can explain it!!!!

I'm in the process of planning a couple of things as well. One thing is coming up really soon. I can't talk about it much but I'm super excited to be able to do this! It's just going to be so cool!!! And the second thing I'm planning is a baby shower for my little sister. She's due at the Beginning of August. It's so fun to plan, but it's a lot of hard work! Especially with my classes, the kids, vacation, this other thing I'm planning, church! But it all works out!! Too cool!!

I would like to ask for prayers for the Carlton Family. About a month ago, Janet's sister passed away. She was about 7 months pregnant with her first child, Micah. They were able to save little Micah, but now he has to grow up without a mommy. It was all very sudden and very unexpected. Crazy. Anywho, please say a little prayer for them as they are still dealing with that tragedy!!

Also, please pray for my friend Ellen. She is trying to raise money to go on a mission trip to Mexico. Please pray for safety, and for funds!!

Anywho. I guess I rambled enough for one day! I need to go clean my bathrooms now!! Fun, Fun Fun haha!!

God Bless
