Every day I become more comfortable with my calling as a mother. I do a lot for the home and family. Sometimes I feel lazy and not significant because money means everything in the world. But, Adam always reminds me how much I do and I know J loves it. I love him so much! He is snacking on a little bit of homemade baby food every other day and he LOVES it! He is grabbing everything and it all goes into his mouth. This makes me so happy because he is learning so much by doing this! This week he said "da.........da" but I don't think he knew that! He is a little sensitive but he loves his mommy and I can't help but pick him up or let him sleep with me when he throws a fit. Life is going in slow motion but I learned a very important lesson this week. It came from my grandma and I know many people have told me before, but it just clicked this time. She told me to LOVE what I have. I know that seems so simple but I am always wanting a house, more kids, and a steady job. She reminded me of all the things I do have. I have a husband who loves me & takes care of me. That is very rare in this world. I also have a healthy baby, I have a mom who is understanding, Adam has a job, I have health care, I can eat food whenever I want. I really have it great!! And things will just get better with a little bit of down time I am sure. But like I said is going in slow motion and I am ok with it, but J is going to grow up so fast, and I don't want to miss a thing!!!

I love that hanging! I want one now. I miss you too!! I seriously don't have any friends, well I mean no one that I could just stop by and say hi, or go to lunch together. It's so sad. I wish you were here. Marc and I only hang out with one couple every once in a while and that's about it. Well school is going great. The Lord seriously knows me......He knows that I was terrified and really hating going back, but I know that taking a year off was supposed to happen because the cohort I'm in now is sooooo awsome! Everyone is so incredibly nice and there are only 16 people in it. I feel like I can participate and the WHOLE CLASS are all FRIENDS!! I love it, there are no clicks and they are the nicest people ever. I actually like the classes and the professors, and they love our cohort. I think we have gotten out early almost every single night! I feel like I can't thank the Lord enough for watching over me and answering my prayers. everything else is going well, we are busy and happy. Hope you guys are well. Love ya!
I know what you mean with feeling insignificant and what you do isn't enough. I have just barely found a part time temp job here in Portland, and I don't start it until next month. I have been spending all my time at home. I am learning how to cook, really cook, not just hamburger helper. I really like it, but I do feel like I should be doing more. I am really happy that you are loving being a mom. It makes a difference when you are not sick all the time doesn't it? I miss talking to you about everything, but it sounds like things are going well. I am glad to here it.
Motherhood can be so challenging, but it really is a blessing, isn't it? I just wanted you to know I absolutely love reading your blog. You are such a sweet person. It's always wonderful to see others recognize the Lord's hand in their lives, so I'm glad you aren't afraid to mention it in your posts. Take care of yourself!
