So, you may be asking, Where in the heck is Sarita? Although it may look like I fell off the face of the earth, I am still alive, kickin’ and extremely well!  It is rather comical actually, how I think I am in control of my life and just when I have it all figured out, God sends me down a completely different path.

One day back in mid September I opened up my church service bulletin. Like I always do I went right to announcements.  I was really surprised to find out that our church’s preschool, Mustard Seed was looking for a new Preschool Director.  Now, you may not know, but I spent my “past life” in early childhood. Matter of fact, before my husband was being deployed to Iraq in 2004, I was the director/teacher at my former church’s preschool.  

My immediate gut reaction was, they need me. Not, how in the world could I work full time again, or this will rock our world.  In that moment I simply felt called to do this work.  So, I applied and kept going on with my life and my business.  After what felt like an eternity I was contacted for an interview and shortly after was offered the job.  My first day was Oct. 31 and I haven’t looked back or barely taken a breath!

It was a busy time to jump in. We had picture day, Parent/Teacher Conferences, mini- Thanksgiving Meals. I also celebrated my grandma’s 90th Birthday as well as my 40th birthday.  Then it was on to a wonderful Christmas program and lots of learning and adjusting in between.  So, I am very grateful to be on Christmas Break now. 

I have already fallen madly in love with these two boys.  They are curious, fun and so loveable. One of them gave me my first day on the job hug. It made my day!

WHO LOOKS LIKE THIS AT 90?? Isn’t she a beautiful woman? I want to be her when I grow up!

Celebrating my birthday also included Thanksgiving with my family and of course PACKERS!!!!!!

So, the big question I have been asked is “What about your scrapbooking?”  Scrapbooking and creating is a part of me. My silly husband was entertaining thoughts of turning the cottage into a MAN CAVE!  HA! HA! What a silly boy! No worries there, I will be creating and blogging and will always be with CTMH.  Matter of fact, I use the Cricut just about every day and even brought in stamps to make gift tags with the children.  So, it’s all good!

My good friend and downline, Joanne is on her way over to show me the new catalog!! I hear it is to DIE FOR!! I can’t WAIT to see it!  So, if you are sticking with me, I will be here.  

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!  It was our best one in a long time!  Sofie is doing so well and it takes the edge off a bit. We don’t always have to be in a heightened state of alert.  So, we were able to enjoy the season without melt downs and mayhem.  I couldn’t ask for anything more!  We are looking forward to an adventurous, busy and blessed 2012!
