Our Summer Adventure!!!

My friend and co-worker Amy and I will be running a Preschool Summer Program out of my home called "Summer Adventure". I am so excited about this! We have 9 kids registered and can't wait! I am currently in the process of getting licensed for a Large Home Childcare. 

We have planned a really fun summer for the kids. From music and story time with "Grandma Hummingbird", pastel art with Mr. Flores, to learning sign language with special guest Mrs. Gaye! We have super fun themes planned like The Very Hungry Caterpillar/In the Garden, Superheros, Stars and Stripes Land of the Free, even a bible lesson every day learning the 9 Fruits of the Spirit. One each week found in Galatians 5:22. And of course we'll be reviewing our ABC's and 123's. We will run from May 30 - July 29! Wrapping up with a fun BBQ and backyard drive in movie for all of our families! 

I will share some pictures of what we've been doing around the house to get ready for our big Summer Adventure soon!

Life Update...

I forgot how much I love working with preschoolers! I am really enjoying the time I get to spend with the kids at Future Hope Preschool! I've been learning so much from the ladies I get to work with. Such a blessing.

I quit school... college life was hard and frustrating. I'm still working on not feeling like a failure but the fact remains I quit school and so far don't plan on going back any time soon if at all.

I'm back on the worship team! That's exciting! I'm getting back on the horse this Friday. I am leading worship for our Good Friday Service at Koinonia Church. I am so honored to be doing so. If you aren't already attending somewhere we would love to have you! It is a very touching intimate and creative service. A reflection of what our beautiful Savior went through for each of us on the cross. The service is 1 hour and starts at 7pm. kchanford,com

I am VERY excited about my summer plans! I will share them with you soon

Big Daddy and Lil Man!

My boys start school today! Kick'n booty and taken names! I can hardly believe this is Darin's 4th year as principal! I REALLY can't believe that Colton is a Junior this year!!! Here's to enjoying every moment and to making superb, fabulous, BIG, creative, adventurous memories! KILL IT  BOYS!!!

 

It's Never Too Late!

It's Never too late to go back to school! Yep I'm heading back to school! This coming Monday West Hill has a new more mature (which I like to refer to as fine wine) student. I'm very excited and pretty nervous. It's been a very long time! Some of you may not know that I taught preschool for 5+ years. I love working with children. I started hammering away at Early Childhood classes when Brit was very young and stopped when I had enough classes under my belt to teach preschool. Needless to say life happens and here I am today with two kids that have become very independent and a very busy hubby! It feels like a great time for me to do something that I really didn't think I'd ever have the time to do and get my degree. So with a full family cheering section I start my adventure!
And that's not all!!!!
I have also been offered a full time preschool teaching position at "Future Hope" preschool starting this fall! Talk about blessed!

I am so looking forward to what's ahead! Wish me luck and prayers welcome ;)

My Last Week...

This Friday is my last day working as the Children's Ministry Admin Assistant at Koinonia Church! I've worked at Koinonia Church for the last 6 years. First I was with Sandy Childress as her Admin Assistant for the Worship Department. When she left Koinonia I was asked to co-lead the Worship Department.  This was an amazing and difficult Spiritual journey where God revealed many things about myself, good and bad. Growing pains galore! When that season ended I moved to the front of the office as the receptionist.  My final in office position is ending in the Children's Ministry Department where I've served for the last 2 years. In many ways this position has brought me to this change by rekindling my love and passion for working with children. What an honor and privilege it has been to be a part of such an amazing strong arm for our Mighty God! I absolutely LOVE the Koinonia staff they have played an important role in my life over these past 6 years. I am going to miss seeing them and working along side them stretching and reaching for God's perfect will for His people at Koinonia Church. Love you guys and will continuously lift you up.

What's next???
