GREAT things take time!!!

I closed on my house on Friday, June 6th and have been busy trying to get everything moved in... I promise to update soon! I love, love, LOVE my new home! I'll be having a party here pretty soon so be looking forward to coming to visit!

TrYiNg to be PaTiEnT!!!!

Well it has been a very crazy couple of past weeks. We moved out of our apartment and we have all been couch surfing ever since. I guess that really isn't the term I should use because I have been staying with my brother and sister-in-law and they have been more than good to me! I even have my own room and a bed! It hasn't been bad at all! I haven't had time to update my blog, with moving, making sure everything is good for graduation, and work... It has been pretty intense! Everything is going great with my new home... only a little while longer till I get some stability back in my life, I have a hard time with lack of stability. My house pasted the inspection so now we are just waiting till closing! I wish it would come faster! I have been having dreams about how cute my house will be... after a LOT of yard work!!! Good thing I like that kind of stuff! I just got back from a training in Boise! It was a great experience but I had no time for anything that might have been considered fun! I did get paid to stay in the nicest hotels and eat in the nicest restaurants... all paid for! So I really can not complain! Life is good and getting better with each passing day!

I'm graduating!!!!

Well... It's finally here! Graduation! I graduate tomorrow but I decided not to walk... simply because I might walk when I get my masters and I would rather save my money for my house! Time is an issue too, I really don't have time to be at ISU for a long boring ceremony! What a relief! Life is good!

I am buying a house!!!!

I am so excited and nervous at the same time! I guess it is time to grow up and make some grown up decisions! I am buying this house and I am so pumped and excited! It was pretty stressful getting everything in order but I did it and I will be closing on the house on June 2nd if everything goes as planned! It has 4 bedrooms, a dining room, a computer room, two living rooms with fireplaces and I LOVE it! Lots of changes taking place in my life, a little nerve racking but so much fun and so crazy!

I'm an AUNT!!!

My little sister Savana had her baby today! He is such a sweet little angel! He was born at 11:22 this morning. I love him!

This when he was just a few minutes old! Isn't he ADORABLE?!?!

Ryan's Birthday!!!

My brother, Ryan, had his birthday on April 13th. We went to the park and had a BBQ!It was so much fun! I am thankful for my brother and for his love and support. He always seems to be a voice of reason for me when I get a little stressed out and start acting a little crazy. He is supportive of me and encourages me to strive to reach the goals that I have set for myself. I am so thankful for his birthday because he has blessed my life in so many ways! I love ya Ry!

Life is GOOD!

These past few weeks have been INTENSE! At work we have been super busy moving into our new facility, it was a lot of work and took a ton of time but were all in now and trying to get things settled down. I found out that I need to test for my CADC in June, I thought I had a lot more time than that but I don't. I had to find a course in case management on line and earn some of my hours that way, it worked out great and I am ever so thankful for the help of my friend and co-worker Jen... She's amazing! Thank you Jen! I got my office pretty well set up the way I like it, there are still a few things I'd like to do but they aren't very high on my priority list right now, it can wait! I'm looking into buying a home, that is super stressful, but I feel really good about it right now in my life. I'll keep you posted on my progress of buying a home. I am looking at one right now and I LOVE it but we'll see what happens! My trainer from the mission and friend Heather introduced me to Craig's List on line and I found a washer and a dryer for $100.00 for both of them!!!! I am so excited about them and they work great! Thank you Heather! I really am very thankful for all of the blessings that I now enjoy! It seems as if everything is working out perfect! Life is so GOOD!
