THE GOOD THE BAD AND WE'RE NOT UGLY

Every year we (we being my sis-in-law Jeni, and myself) always have this great idea to give Mom and Dad a family picture for Christmas, but we always think about it like the day before :( but this year we managed to get together in November, but those didn't turn out when we enlarged them so like the week before Christmas we had to go out again and take more, Matthew might not have enjoyed it but the rest of us had fun, (Matt was the one taking the pictures and trying to get us all posed and smiling at the same time) Thought I'd post a few of the Good The Bad and the Not Ugly

Love my boys!

Not quite sure what my brothers are doing

but then they are dorks so you have to

excuse them :)

What Was I Thinking?

Well first week of school and I'm already wondering am I cut out for this? My Miss Confident "you can do anything" voice says of course I can, but then out pops my Mr. Negativity voice and he says "no you cant your too old you don't know what your doing. "This weekend has been tough not to listen to Mr. Negativity, when I am so overwhelmed with not knowing if I can memorize all these medical terms and when my computer is so crappy that I cant even do my computer homework on it,but then Miss Confident whispers in my ear "that its only your 1st week you have only had 1 class of your medical terminology class you can be expected to know it all in one week, and remember you have the advantage of free tutoring, and you can always do use the computers at the school to do you computer homework." )Notice how I made the negative voice be male haha) Anyhow it has been a great week for the most part, had bunko on Friday which is always great, got rid of my bird on Saturday and spent the rest of the day doing homework, which I should get back to doing instead of updating my blog.

Change is a comin

Well I finally changed my background to a more springy feeling one....hope it helps hurry spring up. More changes in my life and family Robert is working and really enjoying getting paychecks, which I knew he would once he started getting one. He seems to really like it at least so far. Bronson got his learners and is bugging me to drive everywhere, which is scary, I usually let him on Sundays when the traffic is lighter. As for me I signed up to go back to school last night. I am going to take Medical Billing and Coding classes,and while I love working at the credit union I need more. I'm scared and very very nervous but also excited to begin this new journey in my life. It just feels right this time! Well try to update more later when I have more exciting news

Public Speaking

Ok I'm sure no one really reads these blogs anymore seems everyone is into Facebook, so I figure it might be a good spot to write down some things on my mind. The title of this blog is public speaking, don't know about anyone else but the thought of speaking in front of people terrify me, but what do you do when the Stake President calls you into his office and asks if you would speak at Stake Conference not for him but for HIM!!! How could I say no to the Lord, think besides my kids he is the only one I cant say no too. Anyhow my topic is on the blessings I received since I went to the Temple. When he asked me that I answered him truthfully and told him I wasn't quite sure, I figured once I went to the Temple my life would fall into place, you know no more worries perfect children you know all that! Well it has been far from that but I do feel a more peaceful feeling at times and I also know that whatever is thrown at me I can handle because of the gospel. So I have until a week from Saturday to get my thoughts together for my 7 minute talk, oh and President Hadfield seemed to think that telling me I would be speaking in the Adult session would somehow ease my mind. HAHA it would be easier to speak in the Primary session oh wait they don't have one. Oh well like I said I can conquer my fear of speaking in front of a large crowd or at least learn don't answer your phone if you don't recognize the number. :)

Thanksgiving

Since its the Thanksgiving season, I thought I would do a post on things I am Thankful for. First I am thankful for my boys, they are what keep me going day after day, give me my gray hair, and drive me crazy, but cant imagine or remember what my life was like before they came to me. Thanks Robert & Bronson, may not tell you all the time :) but glad you picked me! My Parents, my brothers and my sister in law, you guys have always been there for me, you have helped me more than I will ever be able to repay you. Love you all. My nieces and nephew Brooklyn, Carter and Shayla, I love being the favorite Aunt, thank you for telling me that all the time! My friends, my job, my health, too many things to list. I am also thankful for my Heavenly Father and the blessing and love that he has given and continues to give everyday. I hope each and everyone of you have a Happy Thanksgiving!
