2011

Seems I always start off with good intentions and then somewhere along the way I lose steam and then next thing I know a whole year of happenings have gone by! This seems to be what happens to most of my projects.
Since January, we have packed up our belongings and relocated to Colorado Springs again. This was a welcomed move for us since we were all having problems adapting to Utah and the customs that go with that state. We (the kids and I ) spent the summer in Texas visiting my family. We hung out at the ranch and at the coast and even spent a week at my sister's house in Dallas were I was able to show everyone where I went to college-- TWU.
I was not able to continue working in Colorado because they would not except my out of state license. So I had to apply and wait for a Colorado license which took 22 weeks to get. This allowed me the freedom to say "yes" (after MUCH praying) to an opportunity to go to England with a group of amazing women on team for an ACTS retreat. This was an amazing time for me! Not only was it a great opportunity to minister to ladies at Walsingham but it was interesting to learn all the history that surrounded us at Walsingham. Especially since Greg's Grandma was from England and moved to the US after WWII. She use to tell me she would watch the Catholic mass on TV and I really did not think anything of this comment until I learned and understood the conflict that England had with Catholics.
Anyhow, upon returning home I was so exausted and dizzy that I thought I was coming down with the flu. It was not the flu!
I am pregnant! For me this statement comes with lots of emotion both good and bad. See I am 41- while this is not old in terms of one foot in the grave -- it is old in the way that I thought life was going one way and it zagged and went a whole new direction. A lot has changed since my last one was born 9 plus years ago and I am at the mercy of an Army Hospital and all of their rules and checks which at times is frustrating for me. Thus begins my journey in this new phase of my life.
