I know it has been a long time, but I actually miss updating my blog. I am sitting at work right now listening to the bells and whistles of the hospital all while figuring out what to do. It has been pretty slow around here after 9pm lately, so I do random things to keep organized and updated. Tonight I was browsing blogs (or stalking people...whatever you like to say!) and decided to write a post of my own (So, when people stalk me they actually have something to read). :)
Just so everyone knows...I will not longer be posting pictures onto my blog. Facebook makes it WAY too easy, so I will be updating that periodically.
Here is an update into the Hurst household:
Kevin's business, Revolution Builders Inc., has prospered over the past year! It is so exciting to look back to 3 years ago when we started the business and realize the growth that has happened. We have by far had our most profitable year...which is a testimony of the Lord with where the economy is at. He received his real estate license in September! This has been something on his heart for a long time and we are believing for our first client soon! Kevin is really enjoying the time that he gets with the kids in the evenings while I am at work. Yes, sometimes it makes for a long day and can get tiring, but knows that this season in their lives is so special.
He just got back from three days with his dad in the woods! Yes, it is hunting season. :) Unfortunately no deer this year, but he enjoyed himself in the peaceful woods!
I am still enjoying my full time job of being a mommy and wife, as well as working part time at the hospital. I can't believe it is going to be a year since I started for LGH. This job has been such a blessing to our family with the many benefits it provides.
The Lord is continuing to teach me how to be patient with my children as they are getting older. They both know how to push mommy's buttons and do it quite well! :) Overall though I would never trade this job for the world. It is so rewarding when, just today, Michayla counted to 20 for me. I had NO idea she could count past 10. I guess watching Elmo is not pointless after all! It is even more rewarding when she prays all by herself for her daddy! I love watching the little growth that comes day by day.
Michayla will be 3 in January! I really can't believe that it was 3 years ago that I delivered her into this world. We take her to kids club a few days a week while we work out at the gym and she LOVES it (Although she always says "No boys!" She doesn't want any boys to be at her kids club.) :) Every night she asks if we are going the next morning. This makes me more excited to talk about pre-school for next fall. I can't imagine sending my baby girl to school, but I know the day will come sooner then what I would like!
Elijah is growing SO fast. He is walking all around and getting into more things than he is suppose to! He has learned how to climb up onto the bench behind our couch and flip over onto the loveseat. He is SUCH a boy! He has learned how to say mama, dada, night night and cookie! You know what his mind is on all the time. All he does is eat, sleep and poop! He is still taking two-two hour naps for me a day and sleeping 12 hours at night. It is wonderful! :) He just turned 15 months the end of November!
Overall our family is doing really well right now. The usual bumps in the road come along, but we are still enjoying this season. We are attending a house church in the city, which has brought a lot of life to our family. We are going away this weekend with the house church without our kids. It will be a much needed break! For all our Indianapolis readers...we are visiting Dec 17-21. Hopefully we will be able to see many of you while we are there!
Have a great holiday season! Enjoy your families!
