Sweet Summertime

SO, I'm a little behind on posting a new blog... what's new? Life with two is CRAZY. I mean really crazy! And now that summer's here, it seems like things have gotten even busier. Although, as of last Saturday I am no longer working. Whew.... what a weight lifted off my shoulders! Aside from that... things have changed quite a bit for our family since April. It was about two months ago that Dan was finally released from his job and settled with the insurance company regarding his workers comp accident. HOORAY! I am mean this is a really REALLY big deal for us. I could write for days about that situation and not even cover what we went through. But the beauty in all of it is God's never ending goodness. There were times in the past two years in which I thought'd we never make it through. I often wondered what God had planned for us and our family but regardless of the uncertainty, I knew he'd provide what we needed. How amazing-He did just that and I'm blown away with the Lord's favor. So, needless to say, we're basking in this new season He's brought us into, praying for his provision and insight on what HE wants for us. As of right now, Dan has about one more week of EMT school and then this fall, he'll start at UNCC for an undergrad degree in biology. In the in between time of EMT school ending and UNCC starting this fall... we're planning to enjoy the summer to the fullest! We've got a little family vacation booked for n. myrtle beach in July. I'm hoping to take the girls to an aquarium (taking suggestions on this one), maybe take a weekend trip to the blue ridge parkway (Dan's never been), and *maybe* take a trip up north (probably in August) to see some of Dan's family. We've also got quite a list of "projects" to get done around the house. I'd love to finish painting our house ...(we've been here almost two years already!) get our privacy fence put up to keep our psycho neighbors away, and get our floors re-done....this list makes me tired just looking at it. I have to keep reminding myself..."just a little at a time." It's easy to become overwhelmed at what I feel like has to get done but overall, my heart is full these days... full of blessings from my amazing God, full of love and laughter all because of my husband and hero and because I have the sweetest most beautiful little girls I've ever seen. I'm living a blessed life :)
