Amazing Classes!!!

This last weekend I had the honor of going to not just one but 2 amazing classes. It is very rare that you find people who are at an expert level who can explain what they do and how they do it to a novice like myself. But God has been putting people in front of me who do just that.
At 8am I went to the Fair Oaks Horticultural Society. The Master Gardners there were doing classes on all different winter stuff. The one I wanted to learn about was gardening in the winter. The MG was so awesome. She gave me a pamphlet of when to plant what, and invited me to come back next month, to open garden day, and ask any questions I had. After that class I rushed to the library grabbed some books and headed to a cooking class that I received a complimentery pass too. God worked ahead on that one as well. I really wanted to go this class but couldn't bear myself to spend $35 for it. Low and behold we got a package from our chiropractor and his office and there was the certificate in it :) Dr. Ken and Rachel, who taught the class, have such a passion for serving God through teaching others. They had so many great tips recipes. We got to try everything!!! I brought home some recipes and today we are going to make the muffins. I'm going to do Rachels tip and make a double batch and freeze some for quick healthy breakfasts. It was so much fun.
On another positive note: Mike got his grade back from his first Chemistry test. He not only got an A+ but got the extra credit for 4 extra points. I'm so proud of all his hard work.
Not only is Mike going to school but he is joining us for co-op this year. The kids are so excited! Mikey is taking "Exploring the Human Body" and "Games, Sports, & Songs", Annika is taking "Cup Stacking" (which if you don't know what that is go to www.youtube.com and type in cup stacking, you will be totally amazed) and "Draw Write Now", Joshua is in a "stories and craft" time and also has a snack and game time, and Mace will be in the nursery. Mike is going to be doing worship for the entire group. Please keep him in your prayers as I know he truly wants to glorify God and bring kids into a great worship experience.
Well that about concludes last week, lol. Hope all of you are having amazing weeks as well!!!

Still crazy but slowing down

It is amazing to look back and see how God has been working. Mike was able to get into every class he needed to. So my hubby is now taking Microbiology, nutrition, chemistry, and is taking class at the University of Phoenix. He is now in school 7 days a week, but all different times of the day. It does make for a hectic schedule, but we are learning to work around him.
I just received the grades for my first 2 weeks of school and praise God I'm doing good. It is truly by the grace of God that we are even making it through this. Only 2 years and 50 weeks to go, lol!
