time for a serious update....

lets see.

I officially got my diploma in the mail! I am loving this season of no homework.  I am currently working on a weight loss program.  I am trying to learn how to eat smart and exercise which is very difficult for me but i have lost 9 lbs in the last month.  I am reading a lot lately.  Still working at the Keaton Raphael Memorial but I am praying that God would lead me in the right direction in my job and I feel like things will be changing at some point in the next 6 months or so.

Kenny started school and i am asking everyone to pray for him because school and kenny don't always mix well.  I loved being a college student but Kenny is just doing it for a better job in the future.  He is doing his pre-reqs for nursing and we are trying to figure out where in the heck we are going to have him go for his nursing program...we are even looking at out of state options.

Both of us have dreams of traveling and really enjoying life and sometimes it is hard accepting how hard life can be, how work is everyday, and how money never stretches enough....BUT we are both happy and healthy.

We are starting a student ministry at our church for the youth.  Kenny is teaching for the first time this Saturday and I am really excited to see where it goes.

my best friends, Michelle and Malachi, are getting married in a month and we are so excited for the wedding and happy for them.

My best friend, Nicole Johnson, is expecting their first baby...its a boy.  And I cannot help but be excited because I secretly want a baby now...but I will love being an aunt at this time.  Nicole and I are having fun picking out baby items and planning her shower.

My brother went off to college down south and I know he has been having a hard time adjusting but I am so proud of him and excited to see what friends he makes and what he learns.

My parents are having a hard time right now with their marriage and their business so there is has been stress on the family and I am praying that God has his hand in everything that happens.

My biological dad, Ray, is back in Ca.  He is a musician on cruise ships and is gone for most of the year.  I am glad he is back and I pray that his wife is doing ok.  She has some serious back problems and it is hard for both of them when he is away.

Kenny and I are about to celebrate our 3 year anniversary.  I have to say that this has been the best year so far. We have gotten our own place, he has left iron work, we have a dog together, I have graduated, and we have learned how to coexist and love each other even better then before.  We still have tough times but I love him more then I can express.

We are planning on going to Florida to see Kenny's family for Christmas and we are thinking of going to visit Kris and Kati Peters for spring break.  I am VERY excited about these options because I am ready for some travel.

Kenny's parents have decided to adopt 2 twin 2 year old!  They have been doing foster care for many years and these babies have no where to go so they are going to become parents again.  I am so happy for these two babies because they are going to have some great parents.  I just pray that Kenny's mom and dad have all the energy they need.

Kenny's sister has also decided to do nursing so they will be working on their nursing at the same time!

I have been itching for a camera because I HATE not having photos to post.  I will try to get one soon.

That is my update for now....we have many weddings, plans, and festivities in the next 4 months and I am really excited for this next season in life.  I pray God blesses it, and that we glorify Him in all we do as we grow up and move forward. 

I also pray that God has His hand on this country as so many changes are around the bend and I know that things might get sticky for some of us....I pray that God is still #1 in this Country and that God would put fear in our President's heart. AMEN!

Have I mentioned that I wish I had unlimited funds for the summer to travel around

summer is buzzing....it has been extremely hot

I am so looking forward to going to Tahoe for a few days for the 4th of July!

I dont have much of an update...i should post pics of our new little place.

I have started gardening and planting things

I have started jogging and taking walks everyday

I have started cooking more again

and I have not started on the dishes...lol

the two chores that I am the worst at doing is putting away my clothes and doing the laundry...

I can scrub the floors and sinks and toilet but i cant freaking hang my clothes...

Not feeling great today...i am going to leave work early and go lay in bed.

Next stop, a new full time job or another part time job

Also, Kenny will be starting school soon.

 i am in my bed with my two puppies sleeping at my feet.  I am supposed to be studying for a test but it is so hard for me to focus lately....on anything

i am anxious to be done with school but i am also always anxious...when i am at work i want to leave...when i am at school i want to leave...when i am at home for too long guess what?  I want to leave

What is up with me?

I dont mean to be discontant.  I have not traveled in a while and all i long to do is take weekend trips, visit friends, and travel around.  I am getting antsy.

I am also anxious because i think we have to move soon but i have no idea where. We have even talked about buying a house...but, I am just not sure what we should do right now.

I keep thinking of the day when we will have our own place and i can be at home with our kids

I love days when kenny comes home and i have cleaned the house and have dinner waiting for him.  That might sound silly, but i really do love those days.  I love sleeping in and hanging out with my dogs.  I love California when it is sunny out.  I am anxious for summer.

Anyway, i must go now but I will be back....
