I never blog. :)

I never blog anymore. I really do enjoy the thought of blogging...and I think I really would blog more if I could get on while I was at school. I feel like I'm there all of the time and it might be a nice break for me to get online and blog a bit.

Tonight, Dustin and I are babysitting Ansley for Matt and Dev. I love this kid. Seriously. Sometimes I think I want a kid, but really what I think I mean is that I want this kid. I love being married and most of the time I love that it is just Dustin and me. He is such a great husband, and I think I just might possibly be the happiest I've ever been in my whole life.

I can't believe my 5th grade year is 1/4 over. I seriously love it. I'm made for the upper grades.

Lately, I've been burdened with the need to memorize scripture. I've been thinking lately how much scripture I already do have memorized and I'm so thankful for sunday school, awanas, PBC, and all of the other venues that encouraged me to memorize scripture. Dustin and I decided to hold each other accountable at memorizing scripture. We're starting with Philippians 3:12-13 to start us off. In light of our moving to camp as full time missionaries, we thought it was appropriate. :)

12 I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. 13 No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead

Here's to looking forward to what lies ahead. :)

Until next time...

snow day number three

as crazy as it sounds...i'm just not the kind of person who goes stir crazy. i love being home. i don't mind being locked in, and i don't mind the fact that i haven't gone anywhere in 3 days. nor do i feel the need to leave in my little corolla and venture out onto the ice skating rink known as my apartment complex parking lot. :)

i do, however, hate being alone. after awhile, the buzz of the refrigerator just doesn't keep my company anymore. i can do all the laundry i want, clean the bathrooms, straighten up, make the bed...but it just doesn't have the same effect as having someone here to be with. maybe that's the crazy part. the desire for human interaction is the one thing that is ticking away at my common sense trying to get me to leave the comfort of my wonderful little home. insanity, i know.

on the upside, my house is very tidy, my clothes are very clean, and i am very relaxed. i am starting to run out of food though. and toilet paper. now that's a problem.

the best part is--we get monday off too for MLK! :) so far, 2011 is off to a great start.

until next time...

seriously? almost an entire year without blogging? tsk, tsk.

and sadly, this might have been the year that i had the most to say. :) so much has happened in my life since my last post.

sadly, i am too tired to post too much tonight. so, a simple numbered list will have to suffice.

1. i'm thankful for a working computer and wireless internet in my house. the last time that happened i was a full time student at berry college.

2. i am halfway through with first grade. 18 more weeks and i'm back on summer vacation. oh, yeah!

3. my husband is addicted to call of duty, black ops. i hate that game.

4. i love my husband. and he helped me get a lot of schoolwork done tonight that i had put off over the break. :)

5. my house is clean and that makes me happy.

6. my new year's resolutions: not to eat in the teacher's lounge, to stop eating when i'm full, and to help dustin with his. (lose 40 pounds and read the entire bible)

7. i'm so content with my life right now. that might be a first.

8. i'm so thankful that i'm a good typist. :)

that's all for now.
until next time!
