Changes

If you always do what you've always done,

You'll always be what you've always been.

I've thought of this quote over and over the past four weeks or so....

I'm going back to school to become a Family and Consumer Science Teacher!

Formerly called a Home-Ec teacher....

This has all evolved over the past few weeks, and here's the scoop:

I am already enrolled in 5 online courses through NDSU.

If I complete these courses by December, I will qualify for an "emergency
license" which will allow me to teach beginning in January.

I'll be teaching afternoons only, every day...

at the school where I've subbed for the past five years. (Where my
kids go.)

I will now have 7th-10th graders as my students!

This is a major change for me.  Changes always come with some
anxiety and unknowns....

But this change has felt so guided.  I feel right about it.  I'll be okay.

I have comfort in that feeling.  And it has given me courage.

Change can be a good thing.

Sorry I've been so behind with my blog.  I've loved checking up on all of you, and will try to get some pictures posted soon!  HUGS!

p.s.  Dad, we are really missing the harvest.  Thinking of you so much!

Suh-weet Visit!

This is called Pavlova...

I didn't make it.

My sister-in-law, Narelle did.

She's from Australia.

And married to Rob's brother, Steve.

She's an expert at this beautiful dish.

It's an Aussie tradition.

Even more sweet, was this gift they brought with them...

And we got to share her for a few days at our house!

Oh, how we love her!

Uh, huh!  Even Mattie loved her... 

Wellllll, sort of.

Mikayla loved Mattie anyway! :)

Playing games with Uncle Steve and Auntie Narelle...

Bonding time with Mikayla

While her Mommy and Daddy were packing up to go last Monday.

This is the three of them on Saturday.  We all got together again for Rob's folks' 50th Anniversary Celebration this weekend.   More pictures of that to come....
