School Thankimony =)

This semester is almost over....HOORAY!!!!

I am so excited to have a nice long break.....and I am pretty confident that this girl is getting straight A's!!!!!

It has been a crazy semester. It is always hard to make changes in life, but mostly they are for the good, so it's alright!

I would like to thank Matt for the nights he calmed me down as I freaked out about trying to be a mother, wife, student, etc. And also for not putting me into a mental

institution.

I would like to thank my children for hugging me, and for being really good kids. I would not be surviving motherhood if they weren't!

I would like to thank my mom for enduring the never ending phone calls, and the many freakouts that she had to endure.

I would like to thank my family for always being there and encouraging me. You don't know how much it really meant.

And I would like to thank myself for not being a quitter. Even when that sounded like a REALLY good option at times.

And I am thankful that I am at Junior status and was able to register before a lot of people and get the classes I wanted for next semester. (there have been a lot of complaining about a certain class that everyone needs and hardly anyone can get into...but I did!)

And there is my School Thankimony.

Oh & I LOVED my professors....they are fabulous =)

(And yes, I was a cat for Halloween...really the only recent picture of me...go figure)

New Couch!

Oh so happy. My heart is bursting with happiness...is it bad to be so excited about a couch?
Well I have been wanting a new couch in my front room for ages. But unfortunately funds are low & we have a couch & so that's that. Until.....

A couple of weeks ago I went out with my friends Kristen Peer & Brittany Aardema. Brit moved out of our ward at the beginning of the summer & we miss them a ton! Kristen & I went to pick her up for our girl's night and toured her new house that they had redone. They did an amazing job & I would hire her in a heartbeat. She thinks I'm kidding when I say she needs to come and redo my house...Brit, I'm not.

Well she had bought new couches and said she wanted to get rid of her old one...my heart started pounding. I love her old couch. It is one that I would want in my front room. I started salivating & asked how much & when could I haul it out!!! I got a killer deal & now it is in my front room and makes me oh so happy. Sigh...I love my new/old couch. And I love friends who have good taste that sell me their unwanted items. (sorry the lighting is kinda bad in the pictures...if you want a better look you can always come visit me!)

The Shortest Calling I Ever Had...

Thank you Elizabeth for commenting =) This one's for you!
So I have been officially released from Primary Chorister...I know...perma-grin on my face too!!!! We did our Primary Program & it was so fun & the kids did fabulous. Jacque & Reed were able to come and that made it super special!!!! We love having them visit!
So the Bishop (I love this guy!) he released me and said he knew that school & life were particularly stressful for me so he is giving me an easy calling. One that would require my attention only every so often. I was called to be on the Activities committee. They set me apart a week ago. I have been so excited because I get to work with Natalie (I LOVE HER!), I get to plan parties (while spending someone else's money), and it will only take up my time like every couple of months. I have been floating on a cloud........And then my cloud burst and it started to pour...
So apparently at the worldwide training meeting that was held on Saturday, the church announced they are doing away with the activities committee. I know we are still going to have activities, just not sure on all of the details about that. I have heard conflicting stories. So we are planning a Christmas breakfast & then I will be out of a job...
The concerning thing here is where they will place me now. I am scared....

What would you like to hear about??? I need your help because I am so boged down with stuff that I can't focus. But I would love to blog & when I think of my list of stuff to blog about i get overwhelmed. Which is quite possibly why I haven't been blogging...
So would you please list the top 3 things you would like to hear about & I will do my best to blog them =)
Only problem...some of you might not check my blog anymore because it has been a million years since I have blogged...sigh...I guess I will just have to win your love back somehow =)

Feed your soul....Feed your face...

I love Institute....for many reasons.
One is that they randomly pass out treats.
The other day they had a small table set up in the foyer with small chocolate candies, fruit snacks, and Famous Amos cookies. Then as I was walking down the hall a teacher stopped me and thrust a box of fruit snacks in my face. Uh....how can you say no to such a sweet guy with his cute little grin??? So yeah, I had a fruit snack along with the cookies I snagged.
I love how things just randomly appear. One day they had baskets of apples. Another time it was these monstrously huge pears....so delightful!
Being fed makes my heart happy.
Oh and I love going to my class too =)
