Wow, so it's been a few months since my last post! Life has been so incredibly busy and I have just struggled to find a work-life balance to be completely honest. In January, I received a promotion and was thrilled, but it happened during the craziest, busiest time at work! There have been a lot of changes, but I'm finally feeling that I'm getting back to a "normal" schedule.
Unfortunately, with these new responsibilities I have decided to take a step back from teaching the religious education classes at church for next year. I have enjoyed working with the kids, even with all the challenges I have faced, but I can sense that I'm pushing myself too much and need to limit my obligations. I'm still hoping to be involved in a sub and hope that I can find other short-term ways to volunteer at church.
Life on the home front has been busy as well. Adam and I are expecting our first nephew or niece soon and are getting ready for my brother's wedding this summer. I've also been trying to get back into working out on a regular basis and eating healthier and the wedding has given me the motivation to get back into shape! As I stated earlier in this post, I have a hard time finding a work-life balance, so that is one of my goals for the rest of this year. I have a lot of passion for my career, but I don't want to lose sight on what is important to me most -- God, family and friends.
