Yet another fresh start...

I really want to give this blogging thing a better try...as my blog's name indicates, I lead a busy life! It's tough sometimes to journal and share my life events, but I hope to encourage others through my life's journey.

This day finds me "under the weather" as I am fighting a sinus infection. At times I think God just decides He wants me to "chill", so I am taking this day of bed rest in stride and am reflecting on what God has been doing in my life. I am so grateful to serve God and to know that He has a plan for me. I couldn't imagine trying to go through this life without Him, especially with all the darkness that has clouded our American dream lives as of late. It truly is good to know we can put our trust in Him.

Today has still been pretty productive since I have kept my laptop in bed with me. My boys have enjoyed a day of minimal school, since I haven't been up to the "fight" over doing algebra or science. Next week will be a fun one as we do our best to "catch up" on the subjects we have neglected this week.

This was a sad week for us as we said "good-bye" to some dear friends who are moving to NY. We knew it was coming for a while, but it was hard nonetheless. We are so thankful to have gotten to know the Shupp's, as they are an amazing family and have truly touched our lives. My youngest is already asking if we can take our vacation in upstate NY this summer so we can visit them. Shupp family, if you are reading this, be sure to keep those cots handy...we might need them.
