Way over due

I cannot believe it's been almost three years since I have blogged. I guess being a mommy and wife doesn't necessarily leave time to blog but hopefully I am slightly more adjusted to motherhood now than last time I blogged.

Here's a quick run down of my life the past three years...
  • Eli is now 5 and goes to school four days a week.
  • I went to school and became a licensed insurance agent
  • We have moved twice (and hopefully getting ready to move again)
  • I gave up my agent's license to go back on staff at CP....couldn't be happier about that.
  • My dad has suffered from a broken back and shattered heel, battled cancer and won!
  • Eli is writing his name along with some other words
  • My faith has been tested, and retested but I am stronger for it
  • I have traveled to Guatemala, and Nicaragua and fell in love with both countries
  • I took a break from student ministry only to realize that I cannot live without students in my life, it's just not an option
  • Matt has become a world traveler going to Ecuador, Nicaragua, Guatemala and India several times
  • God has stirred our hearts in ways I never thought possible.
  • We started our own non-profit organization called Eli's Wish
  • I realized how incredibly rich I am...maybe not in financial terms and I am 100% ok with that
  • Sometimes you have to lose everything to realize what life is really about & it's not about YOU
  • I am stronger than I realized!
  • My stepdad is battling Lung Cancer and I am now helping my mom take care of him, as well as, my grandmother.
  • I am loving life and learning so much in the process.
