9 months later . . .

No, I did not have another baby, but sometimes I think a baby would be easier than these past couple of months.  So, a new chapter is started in the family book.  Josh finally got a TEACHING job!!!  He is teaching Special Education (Resource) in Berryville.  Yes that is right, I said Berryville.  I guess it is a good thing that he loves to be alone for a few minutes a day, because he is going to have plenty of reflecting time during that 2 hours total on the road daily.  I am so happy for him though.  He has worked really hard for this and things are finally falling into place.  To add to his hectic year, he is still in school and will not complete his endorsement until May, so prayers are needed for his sanity!!

Josh is not the only employed person.  I will be teaching in Rogers this year.  I am teaching Career Orientation at one middle school in Rogers and Introduction to Foreign Language at another middle school in Rogers.  Of course, I can’t leave it at that.  I need some more on my plate . . . I am also the Cheer AND Pom Squad coach at one of the Middle Schools.  Yes, all of you that know me are smiling right now, because I would not be myself if I did not have many things going at once.  I am also still in school and finish my education courses in December and will continue on with my counseling courses (I still have a while for that degree). 

The kiddos are hopefully not missing the parents yet :).  Holt and Caden are busy playing football.  It is extremely funny to see tiny Caden out there with all those big boys playing football.  Both boys play defense and they LOVE it!!!  Soccer is starting up for both of them next week and Baseball hopefully will get started soon for Holt.  Poor Ella just wants to be out there being the “cheerleader.”   She reminds me so much of my sister.  She loves to flip around and is honestly really good at it (at least for a 2.5 year old).  I keep telling Josh that I have to get her into gymnastics, but I just can’t even find the time to go sign her up. 

So yes, 9 months has gone by since my last post and hopefully I can find a little time to post before another 9 months goes by.  In the meantime, here are some pics of the past 9 months . . .

  1. Hey Lauren! Congrats to you and Josh on your career moves. I saw those pictures of your kiddos and just had to say, they are adorable! Stephen and I are hoping to get back to Sunday School soon - we miss you guys. Tell everybody we said hi!
