I have been guilty of logging on to just read other people's blogs, without posting anything to my own. My life has certainly taken a twist by going to work, but it has been so great. I feel like I am growing and alive in ways that I have not been in years. Without wavering... I feel like I was designed by God to do and be a counselor. I love the job... I love the kids... I love the school. The lifestyle of working full time has been an adjustment... not to mention college two nights a week.... but the positives are outweighing the negatives. Jason has been a HUGE support for me. The nights I am in class, he is a trooper being with the kids feeding... bathing.... reading and tucking them into bed while I make the commute home. It has been so long since I have felt this excited about my life path.
We finally closed on our house tonight.... that feels good too. It is officially our home... yet the rock on the front is yet to be completed. We are starting to feel settled in! I need to do a lot of decorating... but most of the stuff is pulled out of boxes now. Although... we seem to discover items missing here and there... but that is to be expected. The next big projects are to finish the fence and bonus room.... but we LOVE the house. It is just perfect for our home... and GREAT neighbors.... there is nothing quite like picking your own neighbors (especially after our fun neighbors in the last neighborhood!). We are friends with two other couples in our cul-de-sac and one other neighbor is a friend of one of theirs. Not to mention that we have REALLY hit it off with our neighbors behind us since moving here. The kids love each other.... and the mom and I work together. A few months ago we were nearly strangers... and now we are constantly bumping into one another... and every day at work. :-) It has been nice to have such a warm neighborhood... and quiet!
So... in a nutshell.... life is REALLY busy... mock speed... but fulfilling and exciting.

I've been wondering how life was going. So excited for you and your new path, and so happy that you KNOW this was the right move.
I'm proud of you!
It is such a great feeling when you have confirmation that YES God did open this door for me and He did give me the courage to walk through that open door! God is AWESOME! You are what our students need...Godly people who are willing to give of themselves to help support those that need a little extra encouragement or just someone to talk to! Thank you so much for the time that you spend at our school!
DV is blessed to have you ... enjoy this new adventure... God is, and will continue to use you in many ways!
I am so happy for you Michelle!
