Changes in 2011 :)

So in the last 5 months, or so, LOTS of things have happened:

1) Received Kebe & Shena's referral (we are going to be parents of twin baby girls from Ethiopia)
2) Started attending Twin City Bible Church, a non-denominational church in Urbana
3) Became an advocate for 'The Forgotten Initiative' (You want to know in detail about how this has affected my life and time?  email me . . .)
4) Our Brock started kindergarten, Cailer's in 3rd grade
5) Jaci is not potty trained (still)
6) Received court date for Kebe & Shena (traveling over to Ethiopia end of October)
7) Norwex business has picked up (did two months straight of 6 parties a month. . .thats a TON for me)
8) Shuffled, it feels like, 29 beds around in our house
9) Cailer & Brock moved to the basement in anticipation of twins taking their old room
10) Found mold in our basement - which means lots of cleaning and work and organizing and decontaminating.  Fun, fun . . . (not)
11) Joined BSF - studying Acts together with 200 other women.  Most over the age of 60...love this!
12) Joined International Women's Connection at church (love this. . . making relationships with women from all over the world)

......lucky Neal, all he has to each day is get up and go to work for 10 hours!  Sounds easy to me (don't tell him I said that)  :)  He is pursuing starting a bible study at work though so that should add some change to his life!

*sigh* I am going to bed.  After writing that I am realizing I need to start saying no to things maybe??  What do YOU think??

  1. Why is it so hard to say no to things? I was just talking about this with a woman from my Bible study group this morning. The conclusion that we came up with....."at least we are busy with the things we are instead of unedifying things".
