A different October than any other...

Every year I look forward to October. For many reasons, but one of my favorites is that it's a month in which my family and I are a little less rushed, less busy, less in a hurry. And I like that, very much!
I knew though, that this October would be different than all the rest, because we would not only enjoy the less hurried schedule, but also, we would finally have the time to stop, and look around, and relish in the blessings that God has bestowed upon us this 2012 (and begin blogging again which I had tried back in January to no avail). ;)
But, I can truly say that this year has been the most exciting one of my life! (Senior year at college comes a very close second). To break it down, the camp finished building our staff home in February, we had our 3rd baby boy in March, moved out to the "country" (new camp site is about 12 miles north of a city) in April, continued with our busy summer camp schedules June through August, and adjusted to life with a kindergartener starting school in September. Just typing it out exhausts me! And I can safely say I am still very exhausted from it all!
But today, although the house isn't even close to being decorated, the baby needs my constant attention, and the almost 6 year old needs help with his homework, I am finally taking it all in and thanking the Lord for all he has given! Undeserved blessings for sure!

I once considered myself a "City girl"...but now I am in Love with this!

The boys get such a kick out of the wild life they get to see in their own back yard! If you look real close there is a doe in the way back. :)

I am so excited to live life here! At Camp! Hoping that the Lord uses my life first to minister to my husband and children, to be a happy keeper and manager of my home, and to hopefully be a blessing also to those who come through Camp Loma de Vida!
