It has been about 2 years since I've kept up with this blog and sooo much has happened and a lot of changes have happened since then. Now that I have more free time, I am hoping that blogging will be a good outlet for me in order to share my experiences and thoughts.
We have now lived in the Twin Cities for 3 years and are on year 4 of living here. It is becoming home for us and we are feeling blessed to have made so many connections and close relationships during our time here.
So to catch you up:
I graduated from Bethel this past weekend with my Masters in Counseling Psychology, I can't believe that all the classes, homework, and my final paper are now in the past. I felt so blessed that my family was in town and I was able to celebrate with me. I also feel so supported by all the people who came to my graduation party:) On graduation day, one lady saw me holding Addy and said, You graduated and you have a baby? I pointed and said I actually have two babies. She couldn't believe it. I will have another blog post about what it was like being a mommy and student.
I have finished with my internship at Bethel working in the Disability Resources and Services Department on campus. It was a 700 hour internship, and it was an enriching time of getting my feet wet in starting out as a budding counselor.
I am excited to share that I will be working at Bethel as a Disability Resource Specialist starting August 1st and I am sooo blessed that my internship turned into a job for me post graduation! I love my co-workers that I work with, I am looking forward to spending time with new students and continuing care of my former students and working in a Christian environment.
I now start my summer job of being Addy's mom:) Excited for some down time and to be only mommy instead of mommy and student.
Grant finished his 3rd year of seminary and is working at Bethel in the Security Department as a Student Sergeant.
Addy is 11 months now and is enjoying walks, swinging at the park, her music class, and she loves being around people. She is cutting 6 teeth at once, so it has been a drooly time for us. Addy just loves life and everyday with her is such a blast!
I am now 22 weeks pregnant with baby number 2 and this pregnancy has been going well:) I was more nauseous than last time but that stage is over, I am only having the normal pregnancy complaints such as being easily tired, hips hurting, and having cravings. I am feeling so blessed though that I am doing well being pregnant, and that baby is healthy as well:) Baby Fife #2 is a girl and we shared that this past weekend. We had both sets of grandparents in town and so I thought it would be fun to share it with them together:) We had a piñata cupcake and inside of it I had filled it with pink candy and pink confetti. The grandparents pulled from the bottom and so everyone found out at the same time that Baby Fife #2 is a girl!!!!
So lots is going on and stay tuned for more blog posts in the future.
