Evan is the District Champ in the 100m breast for our division.  His freestyle relay team made State too! We will be heading to Kentridge in a few weeks for more racing.  I am linking his CHAMPS RACE  and his SCHOOL RECORD race.

Living the Unexpected Life

Image
Picture taken near Echo Ridge in Manson, WA Today I was inspired to start this blog while listening to a great friend teach during church. I kept thinking - How am I going to share what I feel, know, and love about this life with other people? I am sure not everyone in this world wants to know what goes on in my head but I feel a strong desire to share it anyway. I have also wanted to become a better writer and hopefully this new outlet can help. Please be patient with the spelling, and wording, and maybe a few weak attempts to be funny!! I am living the unexpected life. This is not a negative comment because in my wildest dreams I would have never imagined living the way I do now. I have a great husband that I have been friends with for over 20 years - two incredible boys- a very unexpected but fabulous job - and peace of mind. Through all of the good and turbulent times I have always known what the vision is for my life. I know this has made the unexpected easier to handle. I...

Resolutions

It is that time of year again! I like making resolutions but keeping them is getting harder every year. The funny thing is...I do not feel like a a failure at the end of the year because I at least gave them some thought. This year I am at a loss. So, here is a quick list of options. Keep in mind options means OPTIONAL and therefore not written in stone. I still have two more days to figure things out.

Not sure what that would be but I googled it and apparently pole dancing is a hobby. Pretty sure I am not going to pick that one! Mountain bike. Jason would laugh at this one but it terrifies me so it is a good thing to put on the list. If you have never tried it just imagine biking over rocks and sticks. Sounds easy but I always end up bleeding on my yearly ride with the hubby. Eat breakfast. Crazy right? I never wake up...

Be Yourself

Be Yourself.  Love who are.  Find out what you are good at.  Do not compare yourself to others.  You are unique.  Growing up I heard all of the above phrases and more.  Funny thing is, I never actually took that advice to heart until much later.  I did try to be someone else (or at least imagined I was).  I did not always love myself the way I should have.  I even thought I was not that gifted at anything.  I compared my weaknesses to the strengths of others.  I didn't feel like one of a kind when I had braces and glasses. Now that I am raising kids myself, I just can't get over the fact that I felt that way at times.  I know for certain that I earned every ounce of confidence I now own.  I now realize that every single one of us needs to learn how to be ourselves without worrying about what others may think of us.  It is a hard lesson.  One I personally learned over years of failures and through prayer. I ...
