What's something new going on in your life?
Just a general chat thread here! Anything new, and hopefully fun, in your life?
Summer activities just started here so the daily routine is in a free fall. I need to figure out a daily plan and then execute it rather than being on my phone! My oldest and her husband are trying to move in a crazy real estate market and I'm freaking out a little that they are looking hours away. dd16 just wrecked her car so I'm back on chauffer duty, which in her case is probably a good thing! I just got some new clothes! And my mom got me a Vera Bradley purse for my birthday. It comes on Saturday! Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

Re: What's something new going on in your life?
June 1st started my sabbatical of a sorts. as much of a sabbatical I can have while working full time LOL
Hoping to Do a lot of hiking this summer- starting this weekend weather permitting. Sunday we get to meet my middle child’s girlfriend- she’s flying in from Texas! We have two short family trips planned and I want to squish in a waterfall hike or camping trip early fall if possible. What’s new for me this year that’s I’m already enjoying is my house in the spring/ summer for the first time. It feels luxurious to have such a large beautiful deck and I sit outside a lot!!! Charla, so excited for your ministry!!!!

Re: What's something new going on in your life?
My ds just started his first job and even though he technically still has one more year of high school, my actual homeschool teaching days are over since he will be doing dual credit for school in the fall.
---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 PM ---------- I love sitting outside too. It's very grounding. I haven't been able to as much the last couple weeks because we've had so much rain which brought tons of mosquitoes. We went out to eat today at favorite burger place with outdoor seating and it was all nice. They must have sprayed for mosquitoes in that are because there weren't any. |

Re: What's something new going on in your life?
I started taking karate several months ago and was invited to be part of the black belt club last week (one rank sooner than they usually invite people!). So I'm officially working towards my black belt! I'm sooo excited!!
We're officially on summer break! Finished our first year of homeschooling yesterday. I might be more excited than E

Re: What's something new going on in your life?
I'm working part-time in a garden center, doing personal training & corrective exercise part-time, and working through my course to be certified in pregnancy & post-partum corrective exercise (PCES). I'm also working on getting certified to teach barre classes. After that I want to move into somatics.
Lots of hiking and gardening this summer. |

Re: What's something new going on in your life?
After about 2 years of looking we found the perfect house. At least it looks perfect. It's in the neighborhood we wanted, my 9 year old son's best friend moved there last fall, it has a small lake with swimming in the summer and ice skating in the winter. The house has everything on our list; an acre and half private yard, a mud room, a large kitchen with a pantry, a decent sized laundry room, 3 car garage, possible 5th bedroom (supposed to be an office), a nice basement with windows, a front porch, a living room and family room on the main level. It's huge! But, it's $50,000 more than very maximum that we wanted to spend, and our realtor told us we needed to offer MORE. So, we're kind of stressed out about it, but we put the offer in yesterday and we're waiting to find out if it's accepted. We're also about to go camping so I won't be able to update for 5 days or so.
