A Life Full of Blessings!



Wow! Finally a post! I actually typed this whole thing and then I lost it! Oh well, did you all think I was lost?? I finally finished school and the last few months I have been just busy having SO much fun! I finished school the first part of July. I finally have my Master's Degree in Speech and Language Pathology! Woo hoo! It has been a long hard journey but I have finally made it with the help of SO many people. I would post all the people who have helped me finish school but this blog post would be so long that nobody would even read it. Although I would like to thank my parents for coming out to watch the kids in June so that I could finish school. I could never repay you! The kids loved you and you were a life saver. And for Reed, for always being my rock even when I didn't deserve it. (I get pretty crabby when I am stressed). I love you!

Sorry for so many pictures. We have been doing so many fun things. We have been to the dinosaur museum with Rachelle, Angie, and Allison, and their kids, we have also been to the zoo, the water park a few times, parks, family reunions, parties, parades, and just hanging out with family and friends. We have had such a fun summer so far! The kids are all doing great. Spencer should only have to have his helmet a few more weeks, we hope! Carter and Makenna have just been growing and talking like crazy! They are all doing great! For those of you who haven't heard, now that I am done with school I have quit my job with the school district. My plan for now is to take a year off and then go back. It is a bitter/sweet thing. I couldn't be happier in my chosen career, but right now I know I need to stay home with my babies. I truly will miss work, but I have an even greater adventure here at home. To be honest, It takes some adjustment, but I am LOVING being with these children! I laugh everyday. They bring SO much joy! I just feel overcome with so many blessings!

For those of you who took the time to watch my whole slide show, you found out something new. I am pregnant again!! The last few years I have been trying SO hard to keep from getting pregnant and just get pregnant anyway. When I first found out about the baby I was extremely overwhelmed and didn't see how I would ever be able to accomplish this. However, I have since completed school and a great stress has been lifted. I know some of you may seem shocked, but I truly am SO excited for this new little baby! My three children bring me SO much joy, and if I can have more joy in my life....I want that! There is nothing more rewarding than being a mother! This baby is due the first part of January. For those of you who are doing the math... Carter will be 3 1/2, Makenna will be just barely 2, and Spencer will have just had his first birthday when this baby is born. It will probably be crazy here at the Fawcett home, but I couldn't be happier. ;) I had an ultrasound about 2 months ago and they thought it was a boy but I will have another ultrasound in about 2 weeks so watch for that post. We are just hoping for a healthy baby!

Well, I just wanted to fill you guys in. We love you all and think of you often! Sorry I'm not the best at keeping in touch with people. I do try, but my kids keep me busy. :) I just feel SO blessed and I want to scream it to the world! Some people often tell me, "Sharalyn, how do you do it? You have SO much going on, are you hanging in there?" Honestly, right now I just feel so blessed. Yes, it is busy and I usually don't ever sit down in a day, but I couldn't be happier! I have a house, a master's degree, a loving husband, three beautiful children and another one on the way! I couldn't be happier and I wouldn't have it any other way!!!! We love you all.

Congratulations with everything!! I sure wish we were closer so we could hang out once in a while, maybe one day. I am so excited for your new little one and that you completed your masters.

My precious daughter, tears are streaming down my face. I LOVED reading your blog and seeing your pictures of your beautiful children and my beautiful grandchildren. I miss them so very much. We were so blessed to be able to stay with you the month of June and to have happy times with your little ones. They are a joy and do keep us smiling each day. I am glad you finally made your announcement so we can talk to people again. I have been avoiding that so I didn't spill your news. We are so excited for our new little grandchild and can't wait. We are so happy for your little family and it is so nice to be with you and see how happy you all are. I love you!!! Mom and Grandma

Sharalyn! I shouldn't be surprised but I am! Seriously though that is such a blessing. You are so right. Children bring such joy and you are lucky to have them, even though I'm sure it is crazy. And congratulations on finishing school! That is a HUUUUGGGGEEEE accomplishment. You're such a great mom and your kids are lucky to have you. And now you can focus on them for a while and not worry about all that SLP stuff! Nice! Let's talk soon!
