MIA and new adventures

I know I've been mia again the last several months. Our sweet Shandie proved to be a challenging baby! Between her, school, and keeping all the many other plates spinning in my life, blogging had to be dropped from things I wanted to do. I can report that the high maintenance baby Shandie once was has been replaced with a delightful, busy toddler!
(This girl is obsessed with climbing up and washing her feet!)

The last few months have taken another interesting turn. Neyville may be relocating to Idaho! While we are still not positive on this, we are hoping it will pan out. Our children dream of a place to run freely, have lots of chickens, and even throw in some goats. Mama dreams of a bit of land to have a beef cow, milk cow, and a garden big enough to actually feed our crew! At this point we are trying to see if we can make it on less income. We will be taking a pretty big pay cut for the first 3 years. We know it is worth the sacrifice but still working out the logistics of this. Which leads me to....

As many already know I have been diligently trying to rebuild and regain my health over the last 6 1/2 years. My body crashed back in March of 09. After working with the medical system for a while with no help and no real answers other than adrenal failure and lots of tests that didn't tell us anything and all they offered was band-aids for symptoms, we started down a natural health journey. I saw several different holistic and alternative health practitioners. While each one offered something different and added another piece to the puzzle of my health, I was still left feeling incomplete. Something was amiss. Nine months ago a sweet friend who had many of her own health challenges started using some products by a company called Plexus. After watching her continue to improve and feel good again I finally reached out and inquired on it. She told me what she was using, but I was a skeptic and just filed it away. After all, I have spent hours upon hours researching, studying, and learning about herbs, homeopathics, and generally anything that had to do with natural healing. I didn't really think a big company could offer something I didn't already know. I was very leery and considered them another "big pharma". Fast forward to a month ago when this friend messaged me and asked if I had researched on Plexus yet. This time I listened. I made a list of all the supplements I took on a regular basis, sixteen in all! I added up what I had spent the last six months on products and was shocked that it totaled around $1100! We have made some very huge sacrifices over the last six years trying to get and keep me healthy! After looking over all the info I signed up to be an ambassador so I could buy my products wholesale. I had no intention of promoting Plexus, but just wanted to be as frugal as I could. Two weeks into it I was so excited with what I was noticing that I caught myself talking and sharing with people who has similar health challenges. It's easy to promote something you believe in and have experienced the improved health from! Yesterday when we heard about Duane's job change and the income loss we would have I made the decision to leave my comfort zone, step out and really do this! I am really excited about this company! I'm so thankful that the Lord brought something into my life to help me! I believe Plexus is those missing puzzle pieces to my health!! Bare with me as I learn and grow in this and share with you as I do!
