Yay! I finally started a blog! I am a Stay at Home Mom, Wife, and a Part Time Kid's Pastor. I love every moment I get to spend with all my babies, grateful for the wonderful man I married, and the grace of God that allows me to stay home with them and be a Kid's Pastor. Rick and I got married March 15, 2003 with so many special people present to sharing the love God had brought into our lives. I graduated from the University of Texas with a Bachelors in Applied Learning and Development in May of 2004 5 months pregnant with Caleb, our amazing surprise. He loudly came into this world on October 8, 2004. I battled Postpartum Depression for a year after Caleb was born. Lord stuck by me every step of the way giving me the will to continue when I felt like I was an alien in my own body. He keeps His promises that we can walk through the water and fire and we do not drown nor burn. I had so many people encouraging and supporting me. I accepted a Kid's Pastor position at my church the summer of 2005 and it was such a God sent. It was hope, light, and distraction from all that I was battling. I wanted kids close together but I feared the battle I faced after I had delivered Caleb. A close friend saw on a TV show that Postpartum can be a Omega 3 deficiency and sure enough that is what I was suffering from. I took my Omega 3 religiously and the Lord blessed me with good health. Claudia Elyse came into this world on November 16, 2006 on my amazing Mom's 50th birthday. She got a Birthday present we didn't expect b/c Miss Claudia was 2 weeks early. I was quickly working off the pregnancy weight when I discovered I was pregnant with our precious Eden. Claudia was only 18 months old upon Eden's arrival on May 2, 2008. All that I had battled made 3 kids so close together seem like a piece of cake. I appreciated the sweet moments of being a mommy that I don't think I would have if I had not battled what I battled. Eden just turned 2 earlier this month and it was such a sweet moment. My baby isn't a baby anymore :). I am enjoying my 3 musketeers so much. They are so funny and smart. I love each one of their personalities! They are the light and love in Rick's and my life. Caleb will be starting Kindergarten in the fall. I'm so excited for the sweet moments the Lord has in store for the Salazar's! XOXOXO!
