The Family
I thought you might like to meet me and the family. I’m Amy, but most of the time I’m simply called “Mom.” See that handsome man in the picture? That’s my wonderful husband, Brian. He is the general manager of one of the busiest (and best!) restaurants in town. That means lots of crazy, odd hours that are different every week. But we’ve pretty much learned to work our lives around his ever-changing schedule. I love being his wife, and I wouldn’t trade my life with him for all the “normal” in the world!
One way we cope with our not-so-normal life is by homeschooling our younger two kids, Mackenzie (11) and Riley (8), while Christopher (15) goes to the local high school. It keeps us busy, but it’s the kind of “busy” we enjoy. We love spending time together as a family, and find that homeschooling is the best way for us to do that.
When I’m not spending time with Brian, teaching my kids, or managing homework, you can usually find me folding laundry, washing dishes, or cleaning something. With a cup of hot tea nearby. Always. And, if you look very carefully, you might even catch a glimpse of me watching my favorite movie, Pride and Prejudice — probably while I’m folding laundry, washing dishes, or cleaning something. But, although it might not seem glamorous, it really is my dream job. All I ever wanted was to be a wife and mother. I’m so thankful that God planted those seeds in my heart from a very young age. I’m also thankful that, by His grace, He’s given me such a great family to love. I am truly blessed!
