Growing

This has been a year of growth and "ah ha" moments...

1. Spiritually:
-growing ever closer to God and trusting completely in His plan for me and my family
-teaching Elayna about God and Jesus
"E, where does Jesus live?"
"In my heart, Mommy."

2. Personally:
-growing more in love with my husband and daughter everyday
-This was a big one for me --> understanding it's okay to put my Masters on hold (I will obtain my Masters in the future, that option will always be there, but Elayna's childhood will be gone in a blink of an eye. I don't want to miss a thing!)


3. Emotionally:
-dealing with the loss of my Grandma (It took me 3 months to start unpacking her boxes, but through tears and support from Nick and Elayna, I did it!)
-growing as a daughter
-embracing adulthood
-saying good-bye and letting go

4. Physically:
-my growing belly, I am going to be a Mom again!! I am going to have 2 kids, wow!

5. Professionally:
-fully understanding the role of a nurse educator
-touching patients' lives through the nurses I educate, it's the best
