My plate is too small.

I have a lot going on right now. Homeschooling, of course, I'm taking physics (not recommended) and world history, we are  preparing for an international move (and we aren't sure where we are going but we are leaving Mexico), hub's job change, Bible study, my poor husband was sick all weekend, we are celebrating Nikolas' fifth birthday, ugh, there must be more.

I have been very overwhelmed with a lot of anxiety and emotions. I have been turning to food and have gained a few pounds back. I know God has it all figured out and I know He will provide for our family. If I didn't know that I would be in a padded room. Sometimes I am really close to that but then I step back and I give it to God. I can feel my shoulders lift and it feels good. I wish I could stop taking it back though.

Ch-ch-changes

We are preparing for some changes in our home. For most of November we will be visiting family in the states and I have been preparing for homeschooling there. What to take, what to leave at home and inexpensive things that I can get there rather than taking.
But the biggest thing is that I will be starting school. I was planning on starting this week but I am going to wait until January. My major has also changed from my previous post and the school. Told you there has been and will be more changes around here.
And with homeschooling my guys, I haven't had much time to blog. I haven't tried any new recipes either... I am planning on making some fun and yummy fall food while I'm visiting my family. Mexico doesn't carry canned pumpkin! Can you believe it? I have some recipes that I found on Pinterest that look so good! I cannot wait. I got a new laptop so I will share those with you while I'm there.
Tomorrow at Bible study we will be having a missions day and we'll be making baby blankets! I love mission days! Please read this post about the babies with no blankets! If you are looking for someone to give your old blankets to or a ministry that is changing lives contact me and I will let you know more about how you can help!
And I cannot forget Halloween. This is a hot topic with many Christians. But I will tell you that it is all about the candy for this family! We (not me!) dress up in fun costumes and get lots of free candy! That is it. Especially living in Mexico, today is Dia de las Muertos or Day of the Dead. This is an actual holiday and hubs is home from work today. But the ninos y ninas were dressed up like dead people while trick or treating. Yikes! Not us! Buzz and Optimus Prime here!

Here are my little trick or treaters! 

College? really?

I love KLOVE. If you don't know who they are you better go google it. Nah, here is the link. I can listen to wonderful Christian music anywhere in the world because of KLOVE! Recently they have been running a spot about a chance to win a scholarship to Colorado Christian University. I'm not exactly sure why but I went and applied for the scholarship. Within five minutes, seriously, my phone was ringing. It was an enrollment counselor from CCU making sure I understood what I had entered and she wanted to know if I was serious. I was honest and said, "uh, I dunno." I'm a homeschool mom to two young boys, in a foreign country, with a husband that travels a lot. We have a huge apartment that I have to take care of and cook all (well, most of) the meals. And now I am thinking about starting college. Did I mention that hubs will be starting a Masters program soon?
She offered to email some information and said to let her know if I had any questions. Turns out CCU has a huge military tuition discount, too. So I am working on my FAFSA to see how much aid I can get. And today... I did it. I applied for college. I APPLIED FOR COLLEGE!
