hello i'm not dead... :)


Sorry I've been in a whirlwind and not blogging. I have run half marathons and 10Ks, substitute taught for elementary and preschool, and I have lost 15 more pounds and reached my goal weight! I have held down the fort alone here while Peter was helping with the disaster relief in Japan. Whew!

I have been to Minnesota and am starting in a new ministry with the mission to help connect with young new missionary women. I'm really stoked about that. I just had a training and part of the training was to learn a bit about life coaching. OH HOW THIS STOKED me out. I need a life coach. So many ideas, and not enough intentionality to do them.

A life coach basically helps people to understand what they want and why and then establish where they are in reaching that point. Then they would help the person make small steps of change in both action and perspective to reach their ideal. :)

The woman who spoke to us about it was truly talented and really inspiring. I can imagine getting a life coach and experiencing this amazing process, then doing the training and becoming a life coach. I would love it. You know why? I am always looking to change and grow, and I believe it's possible, with God's help to change! :O)

In that vain,
I have been wracking my brain about how to school the children next year. I know that Sierra and Weston are doing OK, however, I don't think either of them are thriving. I would love to be intentional to allow them to thrive.

I have some great ideas, but I know I need help to get there. Today I may have found a great option for me and for the children.

More to come tomorrow... sorry I've got to run.

Wow! What a year for you. You look amazing hot and you did this while your whole world was changing and still is....God's plans will happen. Period. He is in control, even if it feels like your life is spinning out of control. Weston and Sierra are blessed to have you as their Mommy...you have so much more insight than I ever even thought about. He will guide you with all the decisions about Sierra and Weston.
Love you and you look so incredible!
