Wow! I can not believe it has really been that long since I have blogged! Life has just passed by.. Quick catch up.. I will back up a bit... lol
I got a job I wasn't looking for.. I wanted to volunteer to interpret on post and was denied because I didn't have a piece of paper. It was prophesied over me that it was my time to step into the lime light and that God was going to expand my ministry. The next day I got an email to interpret on post! That client started coming to church and became quite an experience for me, good and bad. Not long after that as I continued to work with the office in town as a volunteer to learn more about the Deaf community, I was contacted by a Technical College in the area to interpret.. Yep, I wasn't looking! So I thought ok.. I will see where this goes. I was hired and worked there for two years. Three clients and lots of fun and experience! :) Plus the extra money wasn't too bad either..
Hubby came home from a short deployment that I talked about before! :) Safe and sound! Went on a much needed family vacation to Disney world! :) Had so much fun!!
Ministry continued. Good and bad. Learning process continues.. God is faithful.
I witnessed two beautiful miracles of children being born. One was not a great experience and I thank God for getting me through that situation. The baby was very early and was not fully developed. She lived an hour. I was the one to tell the mom she had passed. I was the interpreter. The other was a sweet friend and her hubby was deployed, so I was able to do pictures. That baby will always have a special place in my heart.
I worked and hubby worked, kids went to school. Boy scouts, girl scouts, church, and gymnastics. Plus FRG stuff and E's tutoring.
Another family vacation. I made a rule no talking of upcoming deployment! Mother in law went with us. Really wasn't too bad once hubby told her there was no talking about it. I wanted to pretend it wasn't happening. (funny how I remember those feelings)
Hubby deployed again a year later for a year... :( He came home for two weeks around Thanksgiving and time went too fast! He made it safely home this past summer! :)
I ran a Cub Scout pack (den mother, advancement person, Cub Master). Then I resigned due to the changes in their policies. We continued girl scouts and gymnastics. Plus working and trying to function at home. I did not volunteer as much as I would have liked with my work schedule, but I tried. I really enjoyed working and it kept me busy while hubby was gone.
We took another family vacation and moved!
We are here for a short time and a new adventure for us has began. I am homeschooling the kids. I had felt lead this last year to do it. E couldn't get the help he needed with reading and even though he was improving, it was due to the private tutor we paid for. It had nothing to do with the school there. I was deeply disappointed. A concerned parent should mean something. Just my opinion.. anyway.. Maybe it was friends pulling kids out and doing it. Maybe it was friends already doing it. Not sure, but I was praying. Then we found out we were moving for training and it was 6 months. That meant the kids would be in 3 schools in one year! So, we are doing the K12 online. I am really liking it and I am still in total shock that I say that! lol Yes we have crazy days where I want to go crazy, but I like it. I think E is doing good with the one on one attention and I pray it is helping and not just a momma's heart. :)
Thanksgiving was good. Family came to visit and we did a lot of tourism around here. It was good to see some of the places we have not seen in four years.
Life went on.. I think that is a quick recap.. I am sure there is a lot of things left out, but that is a majority and most would bore you! :)
Be blessed!
Hugs
