Sad day for the Provo Tabernacle

So sad to see this.......the kids and I went there around 4 pm and they were still trying to put the fire out....so sad, there has been a lot of memories there!

End of 2010

So the year has come to an end and I feel like I am constantly going.....does life every slow down? But Do I really want life to slow down? Only some parts of my life...like the kids growing up, that can slow down a little....not too ready for them to grow older. My baby is 6 years old...can't she just stay that way? I'm going to miss the little people.

So what happened in 2010? Well, I was in school getting my associates in medical specialties...graduated in June with my kids cheering for me as I get my diploma...then started work in September. I have been busy going to clients homes and helping them with their daily needs. It is real fun to get to know them. It has made me think about my life - do I want to be a bitter old lady that regrets my whole life? or do I want to be able to be happy with what I did with my life and ready to move onto the next phase - life after death? It's been interesting so far...I feel like life is just begining again....so much to do and accomplish and see....I hope I can grow up to be a happy little old lady!

So here it is, December 16th, and I STILL need to finish Christmas shopping, start on Christmas cards, and mail the presents to the grandparents - which I am real excited about! I know they will like it! But will it get there before Christmas? I hope so!

Well, I am excited for the new year and what it will bring! Merry Christmas everyone!!

Aren't they just cute!

So I did it....................sort of

On June 24th, 2010 I got to walk in the graduation ceremony! A year and a half of hard work is finally coming to an end! The reason why I said "So I did it....sort of" is because I will actually be done with school end of August. Yeah for me! There were so many times I thought about quitting....life got hard and I thought maybe it's not the right time...But there was always something nagging at me telling me to keep on and it will be worth it in the end.....I'm so glad I listened to that voice! I graduated with an assosiates in medical specialties. With that I am certified as a phlebotomist, CNA, medical assistant..and there's other certifications I can take but haven't had to time to take them yet.

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day! Here is a picture of my mother holding me when I was about 3 or 4. My mom is my hero. She reminds me of the pioneers who were faithful and willing to do anything for the Lord. She has taught me so many things in life. She has loved me no matter what - even when I deserved to be mad at. Her example of love for others has impacted my life. I know that she's got a crown up in heaven just waiting for her. She is a valiant, faithful person that I strive to be like. I love you momma, wish I could be there to pamper you and help you celebrate Mother's Day!

Happy Birthday to my sweet little baby girl! You have been so much fun to watch grow up! I can't believe you are 6 years old now! You are so smart, sweet, FUNNY, and all around just a good little buddy!

In the picture (left side) is her cute little cousin that is the same age. Actually she was born the morning of April 2nd and Caitlin decided to come 11:30 that night. Jani had a planned C-section and I had an emergency C-section. I had toxemia and apparently everything decided to go the wrong way. I was sooooo sick! Felt like crap-I felt like dying! Good thing for modern medicine! So the next morning, I called Jani up from my hospital room and asked her what was for breakfast. She said, " I don't know about you but I am having hospital food." I said, "So am I!" It was the best hospital stay that I have ever had! We laughed, talked, and enjoyed our 5 day stay in the hospital. It was great! Thank you Jani! And Happy Birthday little twin Cousins!! Love you guys!

Picture Day

So this is what happens when you don't pay attention to the school calender and you send your kid off all decked out for St. Patricks Day! Like I am really going to put that 8x10 on my wall with her all St. Patricky! I am tempted to buy a picture just for memories though! It sure cracked me up! I hope they don't use it for the year book!!
