I cannot believe our summer is almost over!! The kids go back to school in just under 3 weeks... Well, 2 of mine do. The girls school program for 4 year old preschoolers doesn't start until the beginning of October. Once that comes along, I will have 2 half days off!! To put into words how excited I am is not possible. For the first week or 2 I plan to just relax and do whatever I feel like doing. However, after that I plan to volunteer in the schools to hopefully build my resume back up. I plan to return to the work force next year when the twins enter kindergarten. I know I want to utilize my degree and work in the schools, however I'm not sure what I will find. At the very least I will substitute teach.
Besides school starting back up, so does religious education classes. I'm very happy that all of our kids will be attending this year. This means they get more social time in a very positive way and Jesse and I get a date night every week! We will probably just do our grocery shopping together, but at least it is something.
However, back to school also means back to night classes for Jesse. Back to single parenthood for me. I am not looking forward to that at all. At least this semester it is only one night a week. However, this is looking to be his last semester at the community college and he will start his bachelor's program at Ferris. I am praying he will be able to utilize their Grand Rapids campus instead of having to drive to Big Rapids for classes. With us only having one car, that will suck to say the least.
So, the remainder of my summer is going to be full of back to school preparation. I'm pleased to say school clothes are out of the way. However, there are still supplies, books for Jesse and tons of paperwork for the preschools and church.
Other than being especially busy this time of year, life is going good. I'm more and more excited about starting my Thirty-one adventure. I already have at least 3 prospective parties, so that is a good thing. Let's just keep praying this works out for me.

This, that and everything in between!
Okay, okay, okay. I know it has been over a month since I last published anything on here. I'm very disappointed to say the least. I wouldn't be so much, if I had good things to report but unfortunately I don't. Let's start with a quick recap.
First of all, the bike adventures have yet to happen because my bike broke and it takes my husband and I at least 5 times as long to do anything as most people. Second, July is just a hard emotional month for me because it is the month I lost my dad. It also contains Dominic's birthday, our anniversary and a holiday.
Some might wonder why a holiday would be emotional. For me it is a constant reminder of the fact that we live exactly too far away from our family and the area we want to raise our kids in. We are doing everything in our power to move back "home." However, life just hasn't given us the opportunity. It makes my heart heavy with ache. I have yet to understand why God and the powers that be keep us so far away from our loved ones. Maybe I will never know.
Anywho, I have also struggled with my insomnia lately so I have been trying to stay away from the computer at night, which is the only real time I have to post on here.
Oh, and we added a new family member... We got a puppy. He's a beagle mix and his name is Orion. He's an amazing dog, however potty training an animal is harder than a toddler. I guess life is trying to teach me patients even more so. I wouldn't trade him for anything though. Once we get the potty stuff down, he will be down right perfect.
I am also starting a new adventure as a Thirty-One consultant. It's a fabulous company that I can work from home for. It will also get me out of the house and social time with other adults. I'm so excited! I'm also so nervous that I won't find many customers or family/friends to host parties for me. I've been working on getting things set up and planning how to get the ball rolling. If anyone reading this would like to learn more about Thirty-One or would like to host a party, I'm very happy to travel. Just email me at beccamoser31@yahoo.com. Yup, this was a shameless plug of promotion. I hope it worked! :-)
As for some pictures, they will come. Sooner than later I really hope. Jesse has to teach me how to hook the camera up to the computer. I am so out of touch with technology, it's pathetic.
