WOW! Has it actually been that long since I posted? Well, I have a few excuses for anyone who is listening. After my last post, my husband started working the night shift all seven days. I felt like I was in another world trying to serve breakfast before 6 a.m., keeping a 4 year old and a two year really, really quiet until lunchtime, doing my "loud housework" in the afternoon, etc., etc.
My sister got married to a wonderful man in March and I tried to help as much as I could with the preparations.
I got pregnant in late Spring with twins, however, Jesus asked for them back 10 weeks later. Although I've done my share of grieving, I feel secure knowing that a part of me is already in Heaven.
We started foster care in July and had our hands full up until the first of November. I felt like I was running in a cylinder 24/7.
We were able to go to Honduras for Christmas and New Year's! This is something we have wanted to do since we got married. We got to see my husband's family and have a wonderful time of visiting, shopping, going to Church, and swimming.
Now, 2013 is already one month old and we are off to a great start. I went up to Kansas to attend my Grandma's 80th birthday party. We really had a nice time, especially Grandma. I think she has been looking forward to that for months.
My husband is back to working nights, but somehow, I'm keeping it together better this time. Lord willing, it'll only be until the end of March and I'll have him back on a normal schedule again.
We started our school year in Honduras. Isn't it neat how homeschoolers can take the entire school with them on vacation? Anyway, so I've organized all of our activities and bookwork for the year.
When I got back from Kansas, I planted different types of lettuce in pots on my porch. I'm hoping that we'll be able to have fresh salad at least five times a week.
I'm looking forward to getting my garden started again. Hopefully, I'll have a more successful story to tell this time. I'm planning on putting lime and soil conditioner in my clay to help balance the nutrients so my vegetables thrive.
God is so good! He has been with us another year and we've lived to see 2013. We praise Him for His mercy and care.
I'm starting another blog that mostly going to be about cooking and meal planning. Check it out!

Adios for now! And we'll have to see how loooooong it takes me to post again.
