About Me

My photo
I've been married to my husband, Michael, for almost 25 years. I'm a mom to a biological son and an adopted son from Colombia, and I'm also a spiritual mom to my adopted son's older brother, who I claim as a son in my heart. I'm bilingual and love to work with and relate to Spanish-speaking children and families. I've been a teacher to students from all sorts of backgrounds and cultures for the last 20+ years. I'm also an author and a certified Biblical counselor. I'm in a new empty nest season in a new location far from where I raised my boys, so I'm definitely in a stage of rediscovering myself, my interests, and my purpose.

Home sweet home

Nearly five years to the day of meeting him (July 20, 2008), we brought our son, Juan David Alspaugh, home today.  We moved out of our apartment on Sunday and stayed with a friend for our last few days, so I didn't have access to my blog.  I will write more about those final days in Colombia after I've had a bit more time to rest and recover from the trip.  However, I wanted to at least write a short post to share that he is finally here, after all these years.  Words cannot express how happy I am to be home.  My bubble bath felt more luxurious than ever before, and it felt good to be back in my own kitchen, my own laundry room, my own bedroom, and with all of furry children-and of course, with my husband.  I sure did miss him!!!!!
