Reaching for the stars!

Sorry I haven't written in awhile... I can't seem to catch up with my life! I have so much on my plate that I haven't got to relax in a few weeks.  I have been going non-stop and staying up ALL hours of the night trying to catch up.  I am usually laying down when James is getting up for PT in the morning.  I REFUSE to let this break me... I refuse to not finish the things I started.  I can does this... I can complete everything I have going on... God willing.

As most of you know, I started a non-profit organization.  I have put every ounce of my heart and soul into this organization.  I feel like the hard work will eventually pay off and I am touching several people's lives.  This is it... I have found the path God has called me to take.  It is very exciting for me. So far I have over 40 wives and girlfriends enrolled in my program.  I never thought this would be such a big hit.  I get at least 5 ladies a week.  Here lately I have been getting 5 ladies a day! The only few hours I have left in my day to sleep will now have to be replaced with fundraising.  I just keep telling myself that all these ladies are worth it and even though I don't know them... I care about them so much and my heart goes out to them while they are experiencing this current deployment. 

I started making signs... This was actually before I started the non-profit... so you can't really call me crazy.  I have to fund this huge project somehow!!!  As of today.... I have 29 orders.  As I type... paint is drying!  :)  I love it though.  It is another way for me to add a little piece of my heart to other people's homes. 

For those of you who are wondering.... I am still a full-time student as well.  Classes are going great!  I am loving every minute of it.  I did however learn that there truly is a "Facebook Addiction" in one of my classes and people are starting to seek treatment.  I am not joking.  I read all the signs of a FB addiction... and surprisingly... I experience ALL signs! lol I guess I will remain in denial. 

Now on to Mr. Logan-  He is doing great! We are starting a more structure preschool atmosphere during the days.  Not as much free play.  I am designing my own curriculum for him.  He is really into arts and crafts right now!  He prefers waffles at every meal... he colors outside the lines... and he LOVES to drink water!  Tonight was the first time he sat on the potty!! Just for fun though.  I wanted to know that was what it is for! :) He is pretty much amazing if you ask me....

James is tired.  He works so hard.  I mean before the sun rises he is working... and doesn't stop until it has already set.  I wish he could relax for just one minute.  He is so good at what he does though.  I am so proud of all his accomplishments! He is pretty much a big deal! 

Across the world in Korea-  This place is still exciting.  I love it here.  My mom got to come visit.  I LOVED her being here.  It was harder to say goodbye this time.  It hurts my heart to know we won't get to see her again for at least a year.  I have never been apart from her... in 26 years... she has always been down the street.  I thought it was fitting to get "Alis Volat Propiis" tattooed over my butterfly before I left.  It means "She flies with her own wings."  I am certain on one thing... I moved out of my comfort zone and faced the world.  I am loving this journey God has sent me on. 

My new plan is to Blog every Thursday.  That way people know when to tune in and read.  I have amazing things happening in my life right now... and I am so blessed to be able to share it with all of you.  Thank you for reading :)
