Here's to Getting Healthy

Two days ago I decideed to join the gym.

I have struggled with my weight for many years. Up and down, up and down and uP, Up, UP...

You get the point.

But this time it WILL be different. Why? It WILL be different this time because my goals are so much deeper than wanting to look good or fit into all of my old clothes. My goals are not founded by my fears of what people thnk of me or the way I look. This time my goal is health. My goal is being a great role model for my children. My goals are being able to serve HIM to the best of my ablity and not having my weight or body issues hold me back. This time it WILL be different because I am looking to HIM for help in my time of need. I am knocking on the door and I know HE will answer me. HE is the creator of the universe and the creator of my body, heart, soul mind and strength.

Next week, I will post my progress.

This time it WILL be different....

Home School Blog

My new home school blog is up! If you would like to check it out, just go to www.thehomeschoolers.blogspot.com. Thanks!

Home School

Most of you already know this, but....

We have decided to home school our kids! We are very excited about this new journey we are about to embark upon. The reasons are varied, but the bottom line is that this is the direction we feel the Lord leading our family. Our first "official" school day will be next Monday, August 10Th. We have spent a lot of time lately converting our playroom into our school room, picking out curriculum, buying supplies, etc. and we are having so much fun doing this as a family.

I would like to say thank you to our dear friends Danny and Kathy! They have been such a huge support and encouragement as we have made this decision and it has truly been a blessing to have you two by our side. Thank you!!!

I would like to start a separate blog for all things home school. I'll let you know when that's up and running...

Summer Vacation: Boston and Western Mass.

I am Finally updating my blog! Woo-Hoo!!! I halfway expected the computer to crash when I logged in and clicked on"new post."

David's Mom is from Western Mass. It has been a lifelong dream for David to take the children and I back to meet everyone. After getting connected with everyone again through Facebook one of his cousins decided to throw a HUGE fourth of July picnic on the family farm. His uncle graciously flew us and David's siblings and their families out. We had the most wonderful time. I fell in love with the family back there. I wanted to share a few of our favorite vacation pics. Now, by a few, I really mean twenty, so get comfy...


It was much cheaper to fly in through Boston, so we were able to stay a couple of days there as well. Enjoy...



Maya is the little tiny speck in the lower right-hand corner compared to this enormous tree on the farm.

They LOVE Dunkin Donuts in Boston. They have way more of them than they do Starbucks...

I also decided that if I lived there, I would definitely have an accent. I wanted to talk like they did after only being there a few days:)

I'm Back..Almost

We are back from our vacation to the East Coast. We had a wonderful time with David's family. They are truly amazing people and we have created bonds that I hope will last a lifetime. I have so many stories to tell and pictures to post, however,right now, pneumonia has other plans for me. Just so you know pneumonia, when it is 115 outside is no fun. At all.

So for now, I will go back to bed. Thank you Mom for watching the kids so I can go back to sleep for a bit. And thank you David, for letting me stay in bed until noon on Saturday...

Meet....
