Step One: type "(your name here) needs" in a Google search.
Step Two: write down the first 10 "needs" that you have.

I feel like that more often than not.
7. Valerie needs: a vacation
I've definitely been craving one!
8. Valerie needs: advice
FOR SURE!!! Thanks to Mandi for her willingness to give me advice! I made a huge decision just recently.
9. Valerie needs: to step up

So Von keeps encouraging me to blog. So I have definitely reached a point where I really want to begin! :) Life has been so good to me but very interesting this past year. So much has happened! I would love to recap each moment, each feeling, each thought, but that is just impossible. We will begin from this day forward! :) I suppose I do need to do a little catching up, so here it goes.

I have been with Aaron Edinger for 12 years and married for 4 years! We have a 19 month old little boy named Everett Lucas Edinger and a sweet 4 month old girl named Capri. They are the biggest joys of our lives. Being a mom is amazing!! I LOVE IT so much! Words can't even describe how much I love and feel for my babies. I am still in the recovering process of having two babies in 14 1/2 months, but hopefully sooner than later I feel up to par again. :) We moved to Sterling, Colorado one year ago primarily for Aaron's job in Young Life. He is the area director out here. God has been good to us, but it has been a rough road for me. Just in the last week I feel like I want to stay in Sterling to see what God has in store for us, but up until this point just being in Sterling has been a struggle. I have made many trips to Greeley and Denver just to get away. The main thing is making friends and building community has been hard! I want it to get better and I know the Lord hears me so I hope it all works out! There are many life changes to come in the near future that I am excited and very nervous about all at the same time. I have so many thoughts right now it's hard to process.

I am working a night shift right now and all I can think of is when I was driving away from home tonight Everett was sitting on the steps blowing me a kiss and waving buh bye, Aaron was smiling and holding Capri!! :) What a sweet moment. To say the least it was hard for me to come to work. I have only gotten one text so far tonight from Aaron to say that Capri was mad that she had to wait for her milk to be warmed. :) Normally mommy is right next to her to feed her. :)

Well I promise to keep blogging. I think it will be fun! I added some beautiful pictures of my sweet babies.
