Greetings!! Welcome to my Blog!
Well, I thought I had better at least post SOMETHING before my blog died of boredom:) Today is "Leap Day", and I hope I post again before this day four years from now!LOL!
I created this site so that I would have something to do to pass the time while waiting for our daughter to come home from Guatemala. We are neck-deep in the international process , and keep hoping that that proverbial light at the end of the tunnel shows up soon!
A bit about me...I know. You didn't really ask about me... (I'll try to keep it short so you won't fall asleep;) I am a daughter of God, and a wife and a mother and a nurse. Pretty much in that order on most days. I love my Wubby (not a typo, I really do call my husband this!), and we have been blessed with four bio children. Three sons (ages 21,18,and 17) and one daughter(almost 9). God has done wondrous things for us, and we are filled with joy! We are awaiting our second daughter's homecoming from Guatemala. Not sure when that will be, but more on that later.
Hobbies, you ask? Well, of course I find time for hobbies (laughing and snorting! OK, maybe not snorting cuz that wouldn't be ladylike!) Seriously, my most favorite thing to do is spend time with my family. I also enjoy reading, and currently have so many books started that I will be in reading material for ages. Of course, that doesn't stop me from buying new books to start!! I am currently in a MOther's Ministry group at our church, and we are reading Scott Hahn's "Hail, Holy Queen". Fabulous book! I always consider buying books to be a good thing. My kids know this too, especially my daughter who will use it against me occasionally. Uh, Mom? I know I can't buy a new toy, but could we just go to the bookstore.....and BROWSE? Hmmmmmm. She has definitely got my number! I also enjoy playing tennis. I used to be on a USTA team, but right now, I am a couch potato:) I love to watch movies at the theater or at home.
I want to post a witness talk that I wrote a few months ago for our Ultreya Group Reunion , but that will have to wait for a bit. Just my way of keeping you on the edge of your seat!
Back to my reason for blogging...Adoption. There is always waiting, and what we fill our time with while we wait can make or break us. I choose for this to be time well spent (I will discuss the effectivness of retail therapy in another post. HEEHEE:)
I must leave this space for now. Thank you for visiting! I will be back to write some more thoughts when I gather them.....right now, they are strung out all over the place.
Peace!
