What does your life REVOLVE around?

This weekend, my "little sister" Stephanie and I went to the Revolve Tour in Fort Wayne. It is a conference for teenage girls that is put on by Women of Faith. We had an amazing time. They really challenged everyone with the question, What does your life revolve around? And even though it wasn't necessarily geared towards me, I haven't to admit that it challenged me and made me think. Besides that it was fun to have a girly weekend away. We got to meet alot of the different artists who shared their stories during the weekend. I've missed Stephanie since I haven't been seeing her nearly as often, since we have moved, so it was great to have her with us for four days.
So ask yourself what does your life revolve around? It will make you think.

My new jobs!

So I'm finally working again. Its been nice to not be busy and have a break for the last month or two. But I have started two new jobs. One day a week I help a women from our church with her in home daycare. It gives her a break and a morning that she can take easier. I enjoy it and it reminds me of working in the early childhood center last year. There are alot of boys! Oh my goodness. But anyway...
My other job just happened to fall into place. I was talking with a friend from church and she was sharing with me about how she was feeling stressed lately, especially about homeschooling her daugter who is taking kindergarten this year. I offered to help her, maybe giving her a day off once in a while. And she responded by offering me a job as her private teacher. So I teach her three days a week and it gives me a chance to actually use my degree. :)
So thats what has been keeping me away from the blog lately. Hopefully I'll have more to post about soon.

Our Family is Growing!!

The last week or so Joel and I have been considering getting a dog. We didn't expect to get an answer this fast, but we did. Meet Scooter. Some good friends of ours called us yesterday to ask us if we would adopt one of their dogs which they didn't think they could keep, because they are going to be moving. We talked about it and quickly accepted. So a few hours ago, we went and picked up our new addition. Scooter will be two years old in December. He has lots of energy and is so fun. He is purebred Yorkshire Terrier and so cute. We think he is just perfect for us, because of his small size and energy. Needless to say, we are so excited.
