A kid, a coach and the best husband ever.

Hello!  My oh my has it been forever since I have blogged.  My brain has been too squished with life to want to sit down and write about it.  Today I have an hour to just sit and be, so I thought I should fill you in!

We still aren't pregnant.  We aren't worried about it!  A few MAJOR life changes have been happening over the last few months and I can just imagine how I would have reacted to them if I were pregnant or had a newborn!  First, Mark's position at the state was terminated due to lack of funds, so he has spent the last 7 weeks looking for a new job.  He got offered a position last week (YAY!!!) so he will start his new job in a few weeks!  Phew!  Meanwhile, I have been BUSY with nannying and coaching CrossFit!  Yes, I am a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer (come workout with me!!) and I have been coaching 16ish hours a week!  My dear sweet husband has been doing SO MUCH for us around the house, I am legitimately worried about what will happen to us once he starts working again (for real, he cooks 90% of our meals and I can see us starving to death once he is working).  He also has been doing 90% of the dishes, laundry and household chores.  Okay, truth is, he gets bored during the day and why not clean the house (plus he likes it clean).  I will probably be fine.  Hopefully.  Maybe.  Pray for us/him.

Second big thing is that we *might have the opportunity to adopt a sweet girl who needs parents to love her unconditionally.  We have been spending more and more time with her and honestly can't imagine life without her anymore.  We both love her so much and she really flourished while staying with us for a few days!

*I say we might have the opportunity because there are other family members that want to adopt this sweet girl.  There are home studies happening and the state will chose the family they think is most suitable for her in the long run, not just in the present.  We might not be parents yet, but I have extensive nannying background and we honestly are SO ready to be parents.  Mark is so sweet with her and so willing to do anything she wants.  I love watching them play an interact together, it makes my mama heart so full!

So this is the Crocker life happenings at this point!  I will try to be more faithful about blogging as I have TONS of ideas for when I have a little, and so many other things to share!

PS.  I want to do a giveaway to my amazing sister's etsy shop.  She has given me two necklaces for you to choose from!  More on this later on in the week!

to live is Christ, to die is gain.

The apostle Paul wrote those words in Philippians 1:21...God did some miraculous work thru Paul didn't he!? After Paul saw the light (literally) he traveled to Judea, Syria, Cilicia, Galatia, Pamphylia, Asia, Macedonia, Achaia and Italy. WOW. I've shared God's word....via skype to my bestie Nicole and...uhhh..shoot. What am I doing?! Yikes, I'm so ready to go, to tell of God's glory, to "Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and teaching." (2 Tim. 4:2) Its convicting to know that I really haven't done as much as I could be doing, if I died, I have no doubt I would meet Jesus, my Lord and Savior would know my heart and how much I love Him and my willingness and readiness to share Him with the world..but I also know He will stand before me and say, Look at what you could have had, if only you had come to me sooner, done My work rather than yours. In one of my earlier posts I had writ

What I've been HALFway reading.

Guys. I've started around 512 books over the last few months. I haven't finished any. GAH. Here's just a few - Divergent by Veronica Roth. I'm so excited to actually keep reading this. I loved the movies but feel like the books are ALWAYS better. I haven't read much of this one yet because I feel guilty every time I pick it up. I always feel like I should be reading something that will improve me. I'll finish it some day. Simple Steps to Foot pain Relief by Katy Bowman, MS. I started reading this one for clients who have foot / knee / hip / back / shoulder pain. Basically any pain. I love trying to help my clients more than what they expect, so bits of information I can soak in and pass on are great! Katy Bowman does a great job breaking down the foot and then gives some awesome techniques on things you can do to help your feet. I'm close to done with this one actually, and thats good because it's due back at the library in a few days. Goo

Weekend

This weekend M and I got to go to Portland and spend some time with my sister and her family. She has two little boys and one on the way, so every second has noise/crying/laughter. Joellen and I got to spend some time away (went to the mall) which was a perfect break from chaos. I did get quite a bit of knitting done and was able to post some new stuff up on my Etsy shop ! I also got three custom orders (yay!!). If you see anything on my site you like but are interested in a different size, color or color combos just let me know! Here is a peek of my new product!
