Another Year Later

Well it is officially another year since I last posted! I keep thinking that my life will slow down, but it just keeps going faster! Here is a little recap of a few things.. *In December we celebrate Braxton's 1st birthday! We love having him in our family. He is such a happy boy! *In the spring Josh and I decided to go skydiving! It was so much fun! *In June I decided to stop teaching,which was the hardest decision. I cried for days, had knots in my stomach and then finally decided to apply for the job as Achievement Coach. I was ecstatic when I got the job. I started in August. I still get to do some teaching and am working with an incredible principal and faculty. *My sister Erica and her family came to visit over the summer. It has nice to spend time with them (we hadn't seen Erica's husband and kids since my Dad had died). We had fun hiking and going everywhere! *I decided to get my ESL (English as A Second Language) endorsement and my reading endorsement. I am learning lots, but starting to think I am crazy for taking on so much! Josh is being a good sport since that means he has to watch the kids a few nights a week. *Just a few weeks ago my mom got remarried. It is a little different I will admit, but it is nice for to see her happy again. Her husband, Darcy Rusel is a great guy. he treats her well and my boys love their new grandpa. *Josh starts working in outside sales with his current company beginning in December. He is excited for a new position and doing something just a little different. *Josh and I will be celebrating our 8th anniversary in a few weeks. It seems like the time has flown. I am so grateful for a wonderful spouse who is supportive of my endeavors. He is an amazing dad to our wonderful two boys. Here are a few pictures to recap...
