Hello there!

Ok so here goes....

I have had a desire to Blog for quite some time. Today is finally the day. I had a little bit of extra time, so why not. I don't know that I really have a lot to say, but wanted an outlet for it anyway.

This year has been a little crazy for my extended family. My sister found out she had Thyroid Cancer, which was treated and she is great now! My little cousin just about a month ago had a severe case of strep throat, that actually turned out to be a a heart condition for him. He ultimately needs a heart transplant. He is a sweet young man and has made a lot of progress, but can we talk about how crazy this is??!!

We also have a lot to be thankful for. We are all still here, mostly healthy. And the Lord just keeps blessing us. More and more and we are amazed.

So, a little more about me, I'm a Science teacher at our local Middle School. I really like my job, and getting to be involved in young people's lives, they are so interesting. We get to do fun experiments, not as much as I or the students would like, but we do some pretty fun things! I try to use my job as a ministry, but unfortunately, I fail on a daily basis when the stress of life gets to me.

I would like to use this blog as an outlet for ideas and sharing what the Lord has taught me and is still teaching me and sometimes as a stress relief, because let's face it, we all need that sometimes. I hope to include some of the crafts I enjoy doing, and will be doing a lot of for my sister's wedding next month. I also would like to share what we are doing in my classroom, because next year is going to be GREAT! I will post pictures of all the adventures we will go on in life.

Until next time,

Olivia
