d-u-n. done.

Guess who just finished her first non dual enrollment college classes. Oh yeah this girl. Be proud folks I am. Although there was nothing to challenging about my classes, I am proud. Also I did something that hasn't happened in 3 years. Actually finished  a class, it feels great!

Also I miss my baby. He is in AZ being cute there. I just wish I could squeeze him. One more day...

I still haven't completely decided about my hair. That might be why I have a headache, or finals, or cause I haven't had a DP today.

I have been thinking about Dr. Pepper. It may be the fact that I am pregnant. With Rush I probably averaged 44 oz of the that wonderful drink a day. I just want it more then I want water. (oops) It's a good thing Circle K isn't smart enough to put one in Kirtland. I could probably keep it in business alone.

I hope those who are taking finals have a successful week, and those who are starting their Holiday Season, give me a whoop whoop cause I am joining ya!

Be-bap-de-do

I have been brightening up the black and brown living room we used to live in. Promise you will like it. You also might think that it was something you wished you had in your bedroom when you were 15. but seriously it's cute.

Also I wake up with a headache everyday. Can someone please help me?

Online classes so far have been yuck. I ended up having to start 2 of my classes 3 days late, and another on like 5 days late. So I have been playing catch up, with out a book. In one. shoot me. But I think I got it all figured out. I feel like we are still running around like crazy still. T's schedule is crazy, and we have to drive to Farmington like every day. Oh well we are happy doing what we are doing. I am glad I get to tell people I am a student.

The hubs and I miss grass, and rain, and pretty things that AZ had to offer. We live in the ugliest part of Kirtland though. Just behind us down on the Old high way it is much prettier. We have driving to the church and walking around the neighborhoods their. It is much prettier. There are old houses, ivy, and running water. Rush loves it too! T and I will walk buy houses and comment on what we like about it (He has become much more observant about old houses and such since he married me :)) and we dream up our perfect yard! The other night we were walking and we were just happy, and it felt like home.

Rush has been falling asleep in the funniest positions. He fell asleep in his bouncer, and while we were on our walk sitting straight up. I love that little boy! He is learning to do so much, and it is so fun watching him!

Thats all for now. It's almost labor day and we will be headed to Snowflake, I can't wait to see my momma.

Just like that.

This morning while I was showering, I was thinking about my life (I think well in that place). I was thinking about the last three years. If you would have asked me where I saw my self as I was graduating High School I would have said.. I will play 2 years of volleyball, lack one year in nursing school, and probably be married. I always wanted to get married soon. And I did. But I didn't play volleyball and I am definately not 1 year away from being a nurse.

In high school it was never a question whether or not I would go to college. I wanted to! Then excuses were made, and I let too many things get in the way. Classes were dropped, and in the last three years I have accomplished nothing school wise.

But even though I am slow at accomplishing my goal, I am doing it! I know I have been talking about it for a long time, but after my first class today I felt proud of myself! I feel this time, a determination that has been lacking in previous years. I am determined to get good grades so hopefully I can get into the nursing program a year from now. It's going to be hard juggling being a mom, wife, and student but I am not the first to try, and I know that with the help of my awesome boys I can do it! I think I have found a little confidence in myself!

Before and after school. :)

"All I want for Christmas is you... BABY"

So two years ago this weekend we did a kick dance that was sooo cute... really!and we had a blast!! This year I am doing a baker dance that is totally silly... and I'm pretty nervous about it! I will post more pictures of it later!

On a side note i have noticed a few things about snowflake that I realized i love!!!

1. The people at NPC are a lot nicer then the peopel at CGCC
2. I know everyone in the grocery store
3. The post office is used to get mail and send it. Weird I know but man if you want stamps you are better off going to a grocery store in the valley.
4. My boss is my next door neighbor.
5. Everyone knows when you are gone, or come back.
6. Singles ward covers like 10 towns
7. Grandma Kathy brings me lunch.
8. Main street
9. Cell phone numbers start with 243 and home phones start with 536
10. Its cold
11. If you want to go to sonic, or any other restraunt you don't have to ask which one.
12. and the best one.... This is where my family is

I still love the valley, but there is something about a small town that you can't replace. The song called Small town USA says it pretty good...

A lot of people called it prison when I was growin up
But these are my roots and this is what I love
Cause everybody knows me and I know them
And I believe that's the way we were supposed to live
Wouldn't trade one single day here in small town USA

I watch people leave and then come right back
I never wanted any part of that
I'm proud to say that I love this place
Good ole small town USA.
