Behind on Miracles!

SO I obviously haven't been keeping up. But I have been thinking about them I just am lazy:)
Today's Miracle. Italia in her bed asleep by herself by 10:15 that is the earliest in a long time. I am hoping she will start going to bed better soon. Once she is asleep its great and she has even got herself back to sleep in the middle of the night but it takes awhile to get her to go to sleep because it is just to fun:)

GNO is tomorrow don't forget!

We went to the library today for story time. I am really surprised at how good it is.

This little town of mine is starting to grow on me a little more.

I still have a hard time having to drive so "far" to the big city:)

Luckily this little town (which it still takes a few minutes to get to it) has the basics. Grocery store, gas station, fast food (not the best selection), rental movies, kings.

I can't wait to garden this year.

I can't wait to have a fence to keep that old neighbor dog out. And to keep Italia in so maybe she can play outside for a few minutes without me right there. Hopefully I will be there in my garden.

I am taking these wonderful free garden classes that are giving lots of info and getting me ready to go.

On Tuesday I am going to a knitting class.

I have lost some more weight.
wish I could go to Zumba way more than I do. Still trying to figure out babysitting.

Maybe I should try harder:) I just hate to be a burden to people or mess up their schedules.

Donny is back on a set schedule. Not the best one but a set one.

We are going to Arizona in a week.

Today's Miracle

Today's miracle Italia fell asleep a bit earlier than she has lately...we have been transitioning to big girl bed. Also that I didn't break anything when I fell on the ice.

Miracles.

So I believe that even small things can be miracles. I know I tend not to notice a lot of them. I think to make me a happier person (which is something I have been struggling with lately) I need to be more aware and more thankful for all things big and small in my life. More aware then anything. So I am going to try and post small or large miracles that happen every day. I think it is the small things that I am going to concentrate on because those are the things I need to pay more attention to.

Todays Miracle. That I was relatively happy all day even if I was dreading the day.:)

Birthday

Well I made it through my birthday:) Last night we found out Donny had to go out of town this morning so my bday didn't start off good. It seemed this morning was pretty rocky Donny woke up at 5am and was out the door about 20 mins later I heard him pull back in. He forgot his boots. Then I get a call at 6:30am that I still had his credit cards. Whoops. I had them to get redbox movies. So he is in Challis for three days with no debit cards and $7. I told him if something came up and he needed to use something we could give them the number over the phone. So then Italia was a little crabby this morning. The rest of the day went good though ran some errands and went to a yummy dinner with Mom and Italia at Jakers and got me some prime rib. Everything is good now. Thanks for all the messages and phone calls.

The Price is Right

Everyone needs to tune into the Price is Right on Thursday the 21st to see me in the audience. I am wearing a black shirt and my hair is blonde, straight to my shoulders. I am sitting in front of the orange group of girls and the to the left of the yellow shirt family. Girls from both of these groups get called up so I think you might be able to see me.

Birthday Blues

For some strange reason this birthday is hard on me. I mean 25 is not that old and I have a lot of good things in my life so why am I feeling so blue this birthday? It has been a couple months anytime I think about my bday I get a little blue. Is it because it is so up in the air about being able to celebrate it. I wanted to throw myself a party but I have no idea when Donny is going to be gone or home so I can't plan anything unless it is last minute. I would do a little something this Saturday because it is looking promising that Donny will be home but that could change today. There is a chance today we will find out his schedule but then again we may not. Oh well I guess I will get through it.


On to happier things. I am going to be putting together a Girls Night Out. I will do them once a month or every other month. I don't have any official dates or times yet so if you live around me and want to be invited let me know. Right now I am just getting ideas ready and getting a list of people that would like to be invited. I don't care who you are as long as you are a female 18 yrs or older.:) The GNOs would consist of things such as craft night, movie night, maybe cooking something fun. Occasionally going out to eat or to a movie. I will try to keep everything on the cheaper side so we won't do those things very ofter. If there is a cost to it you might be asked to contribute. for example if we were making cards I might say it costs a $.50 a card or something. So let me know if you are interested and I will invite you when I get things figured out.

Early Birthday Gift


So I have been wanting a can organizer for a while now. There is a place in town that makes awesome ones and the starter kit was about $200 and ultimately I would have like 2 or 3 kits. I almost bought one when we were moving in but since we had so many others things to do I decided not to. I have almost bought it a couple times then I decided I could wait for Christmas/Birthday for a combined gift. So a couple weeks ago Donny and I went and looked and after we left Donny said he thought he could build one. ( honestly I was a little skeptical, he can build our house but I doubt his a ability to build a can organizer, go figure.:)) So here it is before hanging it in the pantry so far it seems to work:)and he made this single unit which is close to what a starter kit is for $30 but we already had some of the stuff

Change of Plans

So I think I jumped the gun saying I am going back to school. I have been trying to figure out what to do. I know being a stay at home mom is the most important job I can do right now but I have been having the feeling that I am not accomplishing anything even though I know I am . Also I need outlets to do that give my mommy brain a break from two year old conversation. But after much thinking and praying I don't think the accounting is the way to go. Most likely I wouldn't enjoy it that much and you have to pay for the three year program up front so if I hated it or life came up and I couldn't finish it you are out the money and the classes.

I have decided that I still will go back to school and I will get everything set up so I can start either this summer or fall and still go towards my education degree. this way I might actually enjoy it:) also if I do part time we should be able to pay for it and not have to get a student loan to cover the whole amount at one time. Yes I will probably have to have someone watch Italia but I need to get over the guilt I have every time I leave her. And in the mean time to give something useful to do that gives me a break and doesn't involve shopping:) I am going to take some free gardening classes and I think I am going to take some knitting/crocheting classes.

School

So I am going to go to school to become an Accountant. I know right anyone who knows me is probably think WHAT! accounting that is not you. I know but I think it is my best option right now.

I have been wanting to go back to school for awhile now. We moved and built a house so that wasn't the right time. Then we have been here and I have been thinking about it. I have been tossing the idea around as to if I wanted to go to ISU or BYU-I but I just didn't know what I wanted.

I was having trouble coming around to the idea of having Italia in daycare or babysat for a while now. I didn't want to do full time so it would probably take me 4 yrs or longer to complete my degree while going part time. I was never to do more than one class at a time as well since it has been awhile since going to school and I didn't want to overwhelm myself at the beginning. Also I am not very good with being very busy. Also I have always wanted to be a teacher and I still do but I am not sure what kind anymore. I use to want to do elementry but lately I haven't had the same desire to be around a lot of kids as I use to. So I have been toying with the idea of being a history teacher. But I just haven't been committed even to do anything about it.

So I have been seeing these commercials about Steven-Henerger college. They just opened a office in town and I just felt like I should look into them. I didn't for awhile. Some things that happened last week has left with a overwhelming desire to do something else for me and my sanity that was more constructive. So today I got online and looked around and decided to call and I had an appointment today. It is all online classes so I can do it from home. The accounting program is 36months but some of my generals mights transfer over so that would make it shorter. I also felt accounting gave me the most flexiblity and the possibility of working from home. So if I can get everything set up in time I will be starting January 18th
