Vacation time!

Hi friends, it's been a while since my last post, and I apologize.  I have been very busy in the past few weeks.  Here's an update on my life:  absolutely nothing has changed lol.  I'm a busy stay at home mom and I also am going to an alternative certification program for teaching on the weekends.  This summer flew by so fast.  I can't believe school is about to start.  With only a few weeks left, I have not been hired by a school district yet..bummer.  I put this in Gods hands and I knew that it might be a possibility that I wasn't going to get hired, and I was totally OK with that.  I love being a mom, and would dearly miss Maddie so much.  There is still a few more weeks left, and we will see what happens. 

On August 23 my husband is having a his birthday!! We are going to take a small family vacation to the great city of San Antonio during that weekend! Looking forward to get away for a couple of days and enjoy the time with my family.  In July we took a mini trip to island, and that was a lot of fun! Here are some pics.

As you can see I wasn't in any of the pics because I was the one taking them.  Here's a funny story for you. I had reserved the hotel online, and didn't really know where the hotel was located. The pictures online only showed the pool and rooms. So when we left the beach and headed towards our hotel room, we ended up in the old mall building in SPI, and behind it was a 12 plus floor hotel room, and my husband commented to me "wow, you did a great choice!" I also got it at a discount so he has proud.  As we approached the hotel, we noticed it had a different name than the one we had rented lol.  It turned out that the hotel we rented was actually located inside the mall.  We couldn't stop laughing at the fact that we were staying inside the old mall.  It was actually pretty nice room.  I guess I did make a good choice after all. 

Introducing my blog

Hi everyone, my name is Nora, and I am new to blogging; so be kind! I wanted to start a page to able to share on what God is doing in my life.  As you can see from my title "I am a work in progress." Let me reiterate that: I AM A WORK IN PROGRESS!!  I really am! I am far from perfect, and this page is a tool that I can use to share my progress with you.

So let me tell you a little bit about myself.  Here it goes. I am a 32 year girl from Texas, born and raised! I've been a believer of Jesus Christ all my life,  but as an adult I drifted apart from the Lord and chose to live my life my way.  Guess how that turned out?  Not so good. But when I came back to my savior He received me with arms wide open!

Since then He has been molding me little by little, and this blog will be about my walk through life with Him.  I am happily married to my high school sweet heart!  Well sort of, we went to high school together and graduated the same year, but didn't formally meet till about 3 years ago.....does that still make him my high school sweet heart hehehehe! He is a great man of God and I am blessed to have found him.  He also drifted from the Lord, but is back on track!  He has two boys, named Hunter and Diego who are 8 and 9 years old.  I am also a mommy to 18 month year old baby girl named Madison Faith (Maddie)!  She is mommy's pride and joy!

 I was raised in a family with 5 girls. My mom and sisters are by bestfriends! We are the N sisters: Noemi, Nora, Nancy, Nelda and Nelly. My eldest sister Noemi is the pastor of the church I attend.  I have the privilege to lead worship alond side my husband.  We also teach the youth at the church.
I am currently looking for a position in a school district to teach high school English.  I have been a stay at home mom since the birth of my daughter and I have mixed feelings about going back to work.  So I have prayed about it, and asked God to open a door if it is in His will for me to go back to work.

Well this was just a short introduction about my blog and a little bit about who I am.  I will love to share more about me in the near future.  Thanks for reading, and have a blessed day!
