Wow these last eight months have flown by! This has been a really great year for me, Chris & Adam. It has been a year of growth. This year, I have relied on God more than ever before, my faith has grown leaps and bounds. My job was extremely stressful for me. It was difficult to go to work everyday,but being the great God that he is, he placed amazing people around me that I was able to talk to and pray with. I began to realize that I was there for a reason and that I had to trust that God would place me where I needed to be. The position opened up doors to me and influenced my bold decisions, such as running a half marathon! Most importantly it helped me realize that I need to achieve my goal of completing my credential and that I need fulfill my purpose in teaching. The great thing is that I was able to obtain a position as a General Ed Instructor with the college and the even greater thing is that I get to teach from home. My plan is to finish the rest of my testing and to start student teaching in January. My new position gives me the ability to stay at home with Adam for a couple months and to teach and encourage college students. I don't think that I can fully explain how thankful and happy I am.
Adam has completely blossomed at daycare, it has been truly amazing to see how he has changed and how he has become so independent. Chris & I have mixed emotions about pulling him out for a couple of months, while it would save us a ton of money monthly, Chris is concerned that he will be missing out socially. I have to make an effort to continue to work with him daily like my cousin Amy was. I went out and bought a preschool curriculum book, just so that we can continue to give him what he needs.
Chris is taking fire prep classes in order to start the Fire Academy in January. I know that he has finally found something that will make him happy and I know that he will be amazing at it. He will get to be a modern day superhero : )
This year has been about realizing our goals and that with God nothing is impossible. I am looking forward to whatever the rest of the year holds : )
