Slacker, yep I know it

Did you ever hear that saying "The best laid plans go to waste?"  Well, that is what I have been operating under lately.  Between computer problems, things being busier than normal, and just plain exhaustion, I didn't make it to cook from Pinterest and blog it for the whole month of February.  We did make some amazing things and learn some new recipes throughout the month, so it wasn't a total loss.  As much as I would love to say that I cooked everyday and just forgot to blog, I can't even say that I did that.  Oh well, I guess I will have to try again when things settle down some. 

Since I haven't updated on everyone around here lately, I thought I would do that today.  The kids are getting bigger everyday, and it amazes me to look at them and see their personalities developing.  David added a new job skill this past week, as he has now been paid to speak at a conference, and has another one coming up this summer.  I am so proud of him.  B has been plugging along in his schools, and is really learning so much.  He is such a fun kid and I laugh every time he is around.  Alyssa is getting so big and I can hardly believe she is 8 and almost done with 3rd grade.  I coached her Upward  basketball team and had an absolute blast.  Apparently she did too, because she has asked me to coach her team again next year.  It was lots of fun, and although I haven't played basketball since middle school, I think I did an okay job coaching the team and taught them all something. 

I don't normally really update about me, but I have news that is just too exciting to not share.  I have been hired to teach at a local community college in the fall.  The lady in charge of the criminal justice department has actually changed the class so that I can teach it and continue my work at the church.  I am so excited and I can't wait to get started putting my class info together!!

I guess that is about all that has been happening around here.  Hopefully, I am going to get into a routine and be able to blog more often, at least that is my goal.
