Well, after a little over a year, I have decided that it is time to get back to blogging. I read Stephanie Howell's blog yesterday morning and it encouraged me to blog what was currently on my heart, so here goes:
1. I am, for the most part, really enjoying my kids right now. Being a stay-at-home-mom is a difficult job, but they have been making it so worth while. Today, after Caleb refused to do his homework, I stopped him and asked him what was going on (he usually does his work without complaining). He said that he had a hard day, and came over and gave me a big hug. I just held him for a few minutes and rubbed his back while he let it all out. I was so thankful we could get right to the heart of the problem and not just argue about silly things like homework.
2. I am doing a ladies' Bible study at my church right now called, "Enhancing Your Marriage". I am really excited about it! It has been very in-depth so far. I know I am going to come out of this Bible study having learned a thing or two!
3. We have had ridiculously cold temperatures here, and I have a declaration to make: I hate winter. For those of you who know me well, this may surprise you. I usually enjoy winter because it is the only time of year I am not warm, but not this year baby! I'm done being freezing cold all the time!
4. Our Life Group is starting a Bible study on peace. You may think all I ever do is sit around and do Bible studies. Anyway, it promises to be a good one.
5. Mark and I redid my scrapbooking space!! I will post pictures of the before and after in my next post. It is absolutely wonderful and beautiful, and I have already finished 7 layouts in two days. :)
6. My mom is coming for a visit tomorrow. She recently celebrated a landmark birthday, and I can't wait to celebrate with her a little bit!
7. My dear friend is moving 2,000 miles away. Sigh. I don't know what I'm going to do without her.
Hmmm... I think that is all for now. Thanks for letting me share what is currently on my heart. I hope to be back soon with some pictures of scrapbook layouts. Stay tuned!
