My Week In Review (Last one)

 Amy over at Filled With Praise is having her LAST "My Week in Review" link up party. I am so sad because I just discovered this only a few weeks ago. I totally understand why she is ending it though, go check out her beautiful family, she is a busy mamma!

HIGH

Getting my new job offer is definitely the high of my week. It is something that will lead to great things for our family and something I am so proud of myself for achieving. I don't say that often and I don't often think I am capable of big things and this felt good! Hoping to be able to put ourselves in a better situation for our future children and especially the adoption, since that was one of the major set backs for us (not making enough in our jobs)

LOW

My hubby started class up again this week and that made me sad. We had him home every evening for a whole week and it spoiled us, that is for sure! It was nice to actually head out and run errands together or cookout and go for a walk as a family. Now back to the grind of reading, homework, and class. Although, the day that he graduates it will all be worth it. We are so grateful that he is working so hard to make our life better.

Lesson Learned

I think we learn this lesson a lot throughout our lifetime but truly life is so precious! God can decide to call us home at anytime and we are not guaranteed another day on Earth with our family and friends. A wonderful family that is involved at my church growing up, has kids that went to school with my sister and brother, they lost their sweet daughter and sister this morning. (only a Junior in high school) It has been encouraging to see our community rally around this family for the last few years as Katie fought cancer with all her might. I want to go home and love on my family and not take one moment of time here on Earth with them for granted.
