New ME

Oh my. I was updating some things on my google account and saw how long it had been since I posted on here. It has been a crazy time in my life. New job, new routine, new life. It all happened so fast that I didn't even have time to write it down. So here I am now updating you all 3 months later.

I am now working at the Chase Oaks Richardson Campus Admin. I love it so much. I have started to feel like I'm getting back to the world or people, building relationships, getting things accomplished and still being a mom. Part time has been everything I could have dreamed. I work from 8-2 p.m. M-Thurs and am able to have Fridays off to spend with my little Noelle Joy.

I am still singing at church 1-2 times a month along with leading Women's Ministry. Craig and I have always been all in at church, but these days we are definitely feeling it more. Sometimes I try to hold back in everything I WANT to do because it's just not possible with small children. Noelle and Micah still love going to church even though they are there from 8 a.m.till 1 p.m on Sundays. They don't complain. Everyone knows who they are and they feel at home there now.

We are still in a temporary building for our campus. Our goal is to have our own building by Easter (April). That will be so amazing, but also change a lot for our staff.

One of the best perks about my job is party planning. I get to plan events and functions for our church. I love hosting and so this has been right up my alley.

Recently, we had our Christmas party... I know it's a bit early. We wanted to kick off the season right away! We had a great time playing fishbowl and reflecting about the past year. Another perk about my job is my boss. We get along so well. Becoming great friends and we communicate to the point of over communication sometimes. However, I love a good communicator!! We get things done, but also have fun while we do it. Thankful for that part.

The last job I had was working at The Bridge Community Church in Chicago and really do have the best memories from that place. Now I get to have another favorite job working at Chase Oaks. The community and relationship building that goes on at a healthy church can be so rewarding. When your co-workers care about you and your personal well being it makes all the difference.

My kids are doing well too! They are growing up so fast. Micah is loving kindergarten and getting some major independence. He is starting to say "NO" to me a little too much and I can see him taking on some bad tendencies. Something he might be seeing at school. That's the major problem with school is not knowing who is influencing him and how to steer him on the right path.

Noelle is starting to talk more and will be turning 3 next month!! I can't believe she is getting so old and even using the potty regularly. She still loves baby dolls, strollers, and anything baby related. She is going to be an amazing mommy... for sure!!
