I'm not quite sure about next year. I was offered a position teaching a Pre-Kindergarten class but that is just SO young! I don't know if I could do it. Luckily it would only be 2 1/2 hours a day. There is also a position at Guthrie Mainstream where I could work from home, on my own schedule and the pay is better. The only problem is that I can't work until I have the training and certification and the state is not offering the training right now because of the crazy budget mess. I would take the Guthrie job in a heartbeat but I just don't know how long it'll take to get started and how long we can afford to wait. If I could work from home life would be so much easier and we could actually work on multiplying our family! :) Lately I've been having baby fever. I am feeling ready to have another baby. The only problem is I'd happily go through the labor, I just don't want the 9 months of being pregnant! I've just been struggling with trying to make the right decision about these jobs and when we should start trying for another baby. It's comforting to know God is in control. (I have to remind myself this a lot!) When I really stop and think about everything HE has provided for us, I realize it's crazy to worry. Worrying won't add a day onto my life and no matter how much I worry today there will still be more to worry about tomorrow.
Anyways, Levi, Caleigh, Carolyn and I went to the Matt Mahar and Shane and Shane concert. It was INCREDIBLE. Those guys have to most amazing voices I have EVER heard. It just goes to show what you can do when you use your talent to honor the Lord! If you ever listen to Christian music look up these guys! Here are a few videos, it doesn't really do them justice though!
My very first Mother's Day was perfect. It was relaxing and I got to spend it with my beautiful family. Levi is an amazing husband and really made it special! We went to my mom's later that day and took Gracie swimming for the first time. She LOVED it. She didn't want to get out!

Ok, so I think you may go crazy teaching Pre K... especially as Grace starts turning into a toddler, you will want a break from the craziness. What about if while you are waiting for the program to start at Guthrie... you just work there part time or find a client or two to work with in the evenings when Levi is home. That way you can start "Not Trying NOT to get pregnant" and just see where your path takes you. Hmmmm, just a thought, but I think Baby Fever is definitely a sign. Things will always work themself out the way they are suppose to. I honestly don't know how I ended up where we are today, but We are making it and having our 3rd baby in 5 weeks. God definitely has a plan! The hard part is surrenduring control ;)
Ash, you are so right, everything is in God's hands, not ours. He will work everything out the way it is supposed to be. I forget that often too, but once I remember it is so comforting. Not to put in any requests but I say go for another baby (lol). Hope your week is going good and happy first mother's day!
That's so exciting that you're almost done teaching for this year! I agree not to worry about next year or what job you're going to have. Everything will work itself out! I'm glad you had a wonderful mother's day! You deserve it, you're such a good mom! Can't wait to here when you'll be adding another little baby to the picture!
I love what you wrote about worrying! I re-read it like 4 times. I am a worry wort! You're right though because no matter what, there will always be something to worry about tomorrow!
That is a hard decision to make about working. I have worked from home with an Insurance company and it was a lot harder than I thought it would be!
I have always wondered what Gutherie Mainstream is? There is one right by my house on Gilbert and Southern....
Tough choice. Its so hard to have to work and be a mom. whatever choice you make I'm sure it will work out:) Looks like your mom has a fun pool:) I'm glad you had a good mother's day:)
Fun - we took Kymber swimming for the first time on mothers day too. She still needs to get a little older before she loves it though. I have also been thinking I am ready for another baby but I am okay with the 9 months of pregnancy and so much looking forward to labor again. How about I take your pregnancies for you and you take my labors for me.
