Carmen's Story
Life
Hey there...I'm back in Chicago after a two year stint living in Europe working with the US Department of Defense as a pediatric developmental therapist. Life is indeed busy as I return to private practice as an early intervention speialist AND most importantly, be mom to little Grace. Wow! Having a baby changes everything, huh? Most of you learned that years ago, but I'm just starting out and learning every day. All this learning despite 3 degrees to help me become an expert in child development. HA! Now the real learning has begun.
I continue to serve at Christian Life Center on the worship team...I am a "throat"...an affectionate term given by the musicians on the team. Worship is a passion along with foreign missions work. It's been a privledge to serve in short term missions projects in 12 nations in Central America, Europe, Aisa, & Africa.
I have quite the wanderlust avidity...wanderlust; a real word meaning a strong, innate desire ...Expand for more
to travel around. And I'm thankful for the opportunity to do so via missions, the US military and easy access while living abroad. So, things might be on hold a bit while Gracie is little but she's coming around to this travel idea.
For now, life is busy and full of Grace. No doubt, even busier as I return to school in fall continuing the pursuit of a 2nd Masters in Speech Langauge Pathology. That'll be fun! This summer is full of fun with parades, fireworks, swimming & beach play, festivals & all that comes with living near a large city...a great ciy at that! Never a dull moment unless you seek one out.
It's amazing how often I think of folks I went to school with...wondering where folks are these days, where we've been & where we are headed still. Would love to swap travel or kid stories sometime~ You can find me with a google search for cltgrace. I blog at gracefulldays on blogspot. Come by & say hi!
Take care until next time...
