at home

lately, lots of our time had been spent in nuestra casa. i have never been much of a home body but have been trying (emphasize "trying") to embrace our daily routine, find contentment in the mundane, and seek silence. i know, the silence bit seems unlikely in a house full of boys, but just yesterday i was rewarded with some time to myself as willem and oliver napped. i actually had time to do a little research online about nursing school and certification for becoming a lactation consultant. i also called a local college to set up an appointment to review my transcripts. mark was impressed. i was just scared. i need prayer for direction when it comes to finishing school and vocational pursuits.

WOO HOO! I'm proud of ya! I think it's so painful to step outside of what is safe and required of us and join the world of the competitive and "career oriented". It's alright to be scared, but school at this point in your life will be so much more invigorating! I went back pregnant with Eden and I wish I had done more! It kept me going though, and I was able to encourage many other students. You'd be surprised who you can effect with just your willingness to get out there and show up.

that sounds amazing. i've heard SO many friends say how incredibly valuable their lactation consultant was; they said they couldn't have done it otherwise. as a mom with four boys, you would be amazing at this. and you are so smart and sweet and empathetic. you will be great!
