I am obviously not very good at keeping updates on here. SO I will update the best I can or what I can remember.
The updates are about the same as always. The girls both survived volleyball with a good year. They both were on "B" team for volleyball this year. We enjoy watching them both play because they both have strengths and they both have their own weaknesses to bring to volleyball. Basketball is still going on but this was our first test of sibling rivalry. Michelle made "B" and "C" team, while Elizabeth made sub for "B" team and "C" team. I am so proud of my daughters for not fighting each other on whose better than who. I am glad they both see their strengths and weaknesses. We are looking forward to track, softball for Elizabeth and Baton for Michelle. As you can tell they for sure keep us busy between sports and all the other things they do. They are also both very busy with our church C.E. group which Nick and I are head sponsors for this year. We have done a swim party, wiener roast/corn maze, Christmas caroling, gonna be doing movie night this weekend, and then "Know Jesus" at Hesston College. They have also worked at the soup kitchen again this year in Hutchinson. I am amazed everyday at what my girls notice about others and what they know from right or wrong. I know I am a little partial to them but I think they are wonderful girls and I think they will make even better adults. Speaking of becoming older Elizabeth will be driving in a few short months. (RUN AND HIDE IF YOU LIVE CLOSE...HA HA) As you also may know that soon we will have two teenagers daughters. Michelle is turning 13 in May! I just wish sometimes I could slow down time so that I would have more time with my girls before they are gone.
As far as Nick and I well that is just about the same. We are both still working our current jobs. He is still working at Cole Street here in town and I am still doing daycare. The only big news I have for us is that I will be returning to school hopefully in the next couple of weeks. I have been accepted to HCC and I think I finally have nailed down what I want to do but for now I am just gonna start with general classes and see what happens. I am for sure a little nervous about this new chapter but for sure excited about what I have proven to my daughters. That no matter what you can always go back and achieve your dreams. "NEVER GIVE UP" The girls are excited for me but we will see how excited they are when I need them to help me on my homework. HA HA As we as a family have endured alot in 2010 but remembered that as a family we can conquer anything.
I am hoping 2011 will be a better year for us as far as all of our health statuses. Last year was kinda rough on Michelle and I but this year we are prayer for better health. I did make a new years resolution. It was to be true to myself and to do for myself this year without the guilt of feeling like I should worry about others. I am gonna take charge of my life and my future because even though I wish I could I can't fix everyone Else's just my own. I pray for healing for those in my family who need it, I pray for those who have started this year off by losing a loved one, and I pray that the two people who have been there for me all of my life to have the happiness they deserve.
Well for now that's all I have but I am sure in a few months I will try to update again but NO PROMISES! Happy New Year to all and I hope all of you do something for yourselves.
