Change can be a GOOD thing!

WOW! That word sums up the ride that we have been riding all summer.....SO many changes, SO little time, and SO happy and excited about them ALL!

Thinking back to this time last year and how depressed I was about going back to work and how I skipped the 1st workday just to have one more day with the kids....and now today....I LOVE my job!
And how 8 (short) weeks ago I was devastated that I had been moved to another school and thinking how am I ever going to overcome this....and NOW look! One thing the EC Director & Associate Superindents said to me the day I left for summer break that speaks volumes to me now "have you been praying for a change"..."yes"......their response "well here ya go".....THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! This is the exact change I have been praying for!!!!!!!!

SO we ALL are making new transitions this month....here's a rundown.....

Brooks: BECAME a Co-Director of the WISA soccer program last week......meaning we are ONLY adding more soccer to our life! He and his co-director (NOT ME) are holding sign-ups for soccer teams this fall...kids ages 4-14.....and he is still helping coach at the high school.... #soccerlife

Alysha: STARTED a new job on Monday, with a new challenge, a new job description, a chance to further my career, and OPPORTUNITY to do more!!!!!!! One of the 1st things said Monday morning....if you are here in this position....you must love organization!! YES.....Hello.....THATS ME!!! My new job will be LOTS of planning, scheduling and living by a strict calendar! I am SUPER excited for this job!!!!!

Bryson: IS EXCITED to start school at Scotts and I am excited too...b/c I get to plan my schedule to be at his school one day a week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is also excited for his soccer season to begin and use some of his new foot skills he learned at soccer camp!!!

Britan: WILL start preschool on September 4th although she doesn't understand what that means yet....I am positive she will love going to school 3 days a week from 9-1....and enjoy her lunch in her Hello Kitty lunchbox!

We are all excited for all of these new changes and excitement in the weeks to come!

If you have a little one that would like to play soccer let me know and I can direct you to the right person!!!

Thanks for reading and supporting us ALWAYS!!!

we bought a house.....

 i have wanted to jot down my thoughts for months....the college topic is one that i want to document as its ever changing and needs a place to be remembered....this blog although it sits for periods of time, is my way to reflect on how much life changes-good times, hard things, happy seasons, just life. this college topic is one that i have started and stopped a handful of times and maybe because the timing wasn't what it needed to be.....but now it is! ....we bought a house! we have NEVER gone so far out of our comfort zone....we have also never done the whole realtor route, look at options-10 of them to be exact, close with a lawyer deal....because most know we bought our home from my dad when bryson was 2! yes, we bought it, but we didn't need a realtor (or their fees) and we didn't need a lawyer as we closed at our kitchen table! so living the process from start to finish has been an experience (not a bad one, honestly, more seamless than i envisioned), but nonetheless...

i am changed.....

  covid changed me, you read that right. that's when i changed. i changed my outlook, i changed our routines, i changed our home! i changed a lot of things because it changed me and somehow makes me see the tragedy that occurred in the state of NC last week differently. there is perhaps a little bit of aging in my outlook too, don't get me wrong, but i am forever a different person as the years pass. i am not the same as i was last year and i won't be the same next year, i am certain. but it's these types of life changing events that make you sit up and realize. it. could. all. be. gone. tomorrow. and if you don't realize that, search asheville, boone, saluda NC….they are proof. the things we get up everyday to do on our to do lists, they don't necessarily matter. yes, i am a firm believer in a purpose, when my feet hit the ground every morning i go through my to-do list in my head, BUT it could change any minute of any day and we have to know what is important ...

My DEBT secret confusion!

This is my dirty little secret confusion that I would have been humiliated to share this time last year, BUT I am very excited to share the Dertings LIFE changing year with you today......(although there is still a HUGE part of me that can't believe I am getting ready to share this with the world considering NO ONE has known about this) One year ago, TODAY, we were going to TN to celebrate Bryson's Birthday a little early at Wilderness of the Smokies...it was also his Valentine's Dance at school and I was pretty excited for the weekend to begin......BUT then Brooks called me at work and said to call him immediately.... I did and my HUGE secret was out and honestly it felt like a burden had been lifted off my shoulders although I could hear the anger in his voice and I honestly didn't know if he would divorce me or not........but it felt good knowing that the lies were out and OVER! I had always balanced our checkbook and had always been in charge of the money b/c ...
