We picked up our keys on Labor Day.  So fun to see a dream come true.  Neil has wanted this for 20 years.  Have spent the last two months getting the house set up and making it our own.  Still a ways to go.  Haven't figured out art for the walls, but everything else is set up.

November brought twins for Justin and Shelby.  Addison and Amelia are beautiful young ladies.  It will be such a JOY to be a part of their lives.

Wisdom - Ugh.  I stink at memorizing.  Need to get these two classes down so I can get going on the billing and coding.  Then Neil will have options for working at Lincoln City.
Stature - Getting the Metabolic program down.  Need to button down...but have kept the first ten pounds off.
Favor with God - Good Bible study - Walking the talk you talk.
Favor with man - start putting together gifts for the nursery ministry.

July, what a crazy month.  4th of July, my birthday, and I am not feeling well.  Ugh!.  Relaxed around the house for a few days.  13th of July.  We had a joint birthday BBQ for Neil and his brother Mark for their 50th and 60th birthdays.  Fun to see lots of people swing by.  Mid July we took a trip to Lincoln City to see what we thought about moving there.  Went back with our realtor (Jedediah Kehrli ~ excellent realtor, by the way!), saw tons of houses and made an offer on one.  Then a week of VBS.  Whew!  Busy times, fun times.

Trying to work on those personal goals.
Wisdom - starting taking a Medical Transcription class.  Struggling a bit with those suffixes.  Bleh!  But I'll get it.
Strength - started a program with Metabolic Research Center.  Trying to get this weight off.  Great program.  Safe.  Natural supplements.
Favor with God - has also started a new Bible study of Galations through the Precept Ministries. 

Let's see if I can stay on task a bit better these next few weeks!

I read a book, Emma's Journal.  Very encouraging.  A fiction book on living with purpose.  Based on the Bible verse Luke 2:52 - "Jesus grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man."

Wisdom - my intellectual life
Stature - my physical life
Favor with God - my spiritual life
Favor with man - relational friends

What are my goals in these four areas of my life?  I am very bad at goals, but I will think on these goals and determine where I want to go with them.  Small chunks at a time....consistency in my Bible study time, my exercise time, my personal responsibilities in our home.  All need a consistent time of activity.
