Lately..

There has been a LOT going on. I've started my new job, packed up my old house, moved into my new apartment, and unpacked my apartment...all in the past week. I'm tired. Ha! I'm so happy though, we are all very happy! This new apartment is very nice and has a lot of natural light, which we really didn't have at our house. We obviously don't have the huge backyard and gated front yard, but we do have a swimming pool and jacuzzi! The kids love it too, thankfully.

My job is great, very challenging both physically and emotionally. I work in the Alzheimers/Dementia unit so it's a difficult job. I have to use a lot of my physical strength to lift and move residents, and also do a lot for residents that can't do anything for themselves anymore. It is a very humbling job and makes me appreciate what I can do for others. I find that this past week working at my job, has made me more patient and gentle with my children, as odd as that sounds. I just feel like, they are still learning and to be a little more forgiving. I really love my job. I am becoming so fond of the residents there and the lives some of them lived were amazing. I love the stories I hear and the way that I can impact their days by just sitting down and talking with them while they eat a meal.


I am so very content with my life right now. A couple of weeks ago at church there was a sermon about being content with your life, and how people are so caught up in finding the "perfect life" for them. Well, obviously you will never find that. Yes, there will always be little imperfections and bumps along the way. So I'm extremely happy being content with my life. That's all I need. The Lord has given me a beautiful family, extended and immediate. My children are healthy and my husband is the most helpful, generous man I know. He is a gem, and I'm so lucky to have him. I could not ask for more.

Thank You Lord.
