It's been over a year since I last blogged. Someone from my homeschool group mentioned that she came across my blog. It's one of those moments when you cringe and wonder,  'what did she read?' I wish I wasn't so exposed. I decided that I needed to see what she read so I'm back for a momentary update.

It's been a very busy year to say the least. I have had many guests, but that is normal. What keeps me busy besides being a wife and mother, is working and going to University. I decided to send the kids off into the world and get an education myself.  We all love school and wouldn't miss it for the world.

I'm studying accounting. I know how it sounds (boring) but I am really enjoying my work as treasurer at the church we attend and I also am the accountant at a small Bible College so the knowledge is put to use very quickly.

My husband and kids walked the 8.4km marathon "Around the Bays" again. Rick is loving his work and the boys are happy at school. They love their Sunday School and sports activities too. It's amazing how we fit it all in. They are getting so tall. I think they're going to tower over my 5'3" stature in a very short time.
I should be writing an essay right now but I'm procrastinating. It's about ethics.

I heard a great message on Friday night (Elena Hood from Tauranga, NZ) about stress. I realized that my life is very full and I don't give myself much time to just relax and detox from the exhausting job I have.  My knitting group is a wonderful relief from the pressures of life. The problem is I love my work so much that it's hard to recognize the signs of exhaustion sometimes. The message about stress reminded me to stop and dream a while.  Think about my friends and family and pause to be thankful for all that God has blessed me with.
