Happy New Year 2012!

So alot has taken place since my last post.

I am still working out of my home, but I am now loving it! It took me a while to get used to being at home everyday.
I even tried working at Menards for 2wks and hated that.

I am currently working at home on Tuesdays and Thursdays, every other Friday I work at The Muscle Therapy and Acupuncture Center in White Pigeon, Mi. Monday an Wednesday mornings I volunteer at our Elementary school. I am in three different classrooms for a 30min period. Second grade, 4th grade and first grade. I listen to them read, help with sight words and whatever else the teachers need me to do. I love it and the kids are awesome!

This is the first time in a long long time that I feel like my life is in Balance.

So here we are April 22nd, 2011. I am really struggling with working at home!

I miss being with people. The interaction, sharing of problems, laughing at jokes etc. At times it gets very lonely at home.
I find myself watching my husband go off to work and my daughters heading out on their daily adventure..be it work or out with friends and I catch myself being jealous.

I have decided to send out some resumes to Chiropractic offices and see if I could do massages part time. Until I hear anything I have to pray that God will give me peace with where I am in my life at this time.

Well I have been working at home for almost 4 months.

I do love it, but it has taken some getting used to. Being at home 7 days a week made me a little stir crazy at the start especially with the snow.

I have now started walking every morning between 530 and 630 am with my dog maggi. She is loving it..We started with walking about 8blocks and finding out how bad of shape I really am in.
We have worked our way up to 1 mile now.
I also figured out that I have to have a normal routine everyday. I now have started my spring cleaning in between clients.

Another plus I am starting to get busier, I am now averaging 3 clients a day sometimes 4 which is good being that I only do 5 hrs worth of massages a day.

Well I started a new adventure in January. I gave notice at the clinic in October and I started working out of my home January 3, 2011.

It took some getting used to the first week. But now I am loving it!

Well 2 weeks sure can fly by quickly!

We arrived back home from Alaska around midnight last night!

I have decided if I can ever arrange it I want to move to Alaska! Jerry and I had such an awesome time!
We flew into Anchorage...then very early the next morning we took the train to Seward. That ended up being one of our favorite towns. Its a beautiful town on Resurrection Bay. I found a wonderful restaurant there called Chinook's! We always picked a window seat looking out at the Harbor!
Awesome fresh seafood!
We also went to Telkeetna/ this is the town that the TV show Northern Exposure was based on. It is a very unique little town just like the tv show! We loved it! We stayed at the Talkeetna Lodge, and the view from our room was of Mt. McKinley. So beautiful.
Went to Denali, and Denali National Park saw a lot of wildlife. Moose, grizzlies, Dall Sheep, a wolf, caribou and many many Eagles.
Went to Fairbanks and panned for gold. We did pretty good! Ate in some amazing resturants.
Also visited Whittier. Went on a cruise to see a glacier. Stayed in the Whittier Inn. very nice.

I will try and have pics up soon! Trying to edit them now.

Saturday is never going to get here!!!!!

Well I can hardly believe it but in 3 days Jerry and I will be in Alaska!!

I work a full day tomorrow and then on friday I work until noon. We leave at 4pm for Kalamazoo, we are spending the night with my Brother and sister-law, then they will take us to the airport Saturday at 6 am.

I am really excited and a little nervous!
