It's been nearly two years since I've blogged. Whoa, baby! A lot has happened since then! Shortly after my last post I started working at a pain management clinic as a specimen processor and continued there through July of last year. That placement ended and I was distressed the rest of the summer, but it gave me time to work on my first garden and become acquainted with a sewing machine. :-)
In September I was introduced to the idea of taking over as director of my congregation's Mothers' Day Out program (Tuesday/Thursday School) and I've been working there since the last week of September 2014. It has been so much fun working with the children and their families and it is such a good mission work. Brian still enjoys his job at Bridgestone. We have been on a few trips to Texas to visit his grandpa. Our youngest nephew has encountered some health issues requiring an eventual transplant, but that's a post for another day.
In March, I also began assisting our realtor and friend, Dana. This job doesn't even feel like a job! I am very blessed and happy. I'm not using my degree and bring in very little income, but it helps and I stay busy and useful. What more could a girl ask for? Sure, all my college friends have fancy jobs, or will after graduate school, but I am content.
I've had an on and off relationship this year with Paleo, but I've decided to try a new approach. Instead of completely grain-free, I'm going to try gluten free and no sugar. I know I'm addicted to sugar, so I've started the Fed Up 10 day challenge: no sugar added, including the 56 other names/types of sugar, except for naturally occurring sugars in fruits and veggies. We'll see how this goes... Hopefully with me kicking my sugar addiction and eating sweets only at birthdays and very special days. I'm on day 2 and will update later in the week.
Cheers!
