Can't Keep Up!!

Holy Moly!!!! I can't believe how crazy life can be and how much more I enjoy it.  It has been worse then Hell Week at our house. I wake up every morning at 5:45 am and go to class with my beloved hubby at 7 am and we spend the next 4 hours being drilled in Math and a Communications class.

I love it though. I never had the opportunity to have a boy carry my books in college so I really love doing this with my husband. Although, he tried to break up with me on friday.  He said that's what you do when you are in college-I begged him to take me back and he did :)  Kylee is a doll.  She is getting paid 20$ a day to babysit and she is doing fantastic.  She admits it isn't easy but I hope she is learning something from all this.  She did say that she would go and get college done first and try to stay in order.

I often complain about not having a stable life with Kyle but in reality I, myself have never been stable. Look at me-going to school at 38 years old, mother of 6 and I am doing it simply for pleasure not to provide more income for my family.  It is a bucket list thing and once December is here I am going to slow down a little but hopefully I keep my routine of getting up early in the morning consistent.  That in and of it self is a great accomplishment for me.  I have been a little depressed over the years and not feeling fulfilled as a mother and I have slacked on really getting up early.  My sister n law Vanessa is awesome-she is up early and just a great example.

But for me I am enjoying this time in my life.  We moved to Cedar and I have been to St. George 7 of the 10 days we have lived here. But I knew going into it that I was going to commute.  Someone asked me why we moved and I said for the quality of life Cedar offers.  I really enjoy the summers when they come and I enjoy the different seasons. My kids feel at home here and honestly this is all Attie and Ella and Ammon have ever known. I think everyone is glad to be back.  I found a piece of property I want to buy and I am really looking forward to having a land payment.  I already have my builder in place and the houseplan.  I even have my interior decorators lined up. I am really excited but I am going slow this time. I will make sure the land is paid off and that we keep the home reasonable-okay the home will be gorgeous and insane but it will be so fun.  Kyle and I love this part of life.  We love being creative.

I do miss my friends in St. George but many of them I see because our children do the same activities. Sandy just received a gold medal in her gymnastics meet today and Kylee is doing really well in Karate. Attie is being a trooper and sticking with violin along with Sandy also Ella and Ammon are back at gymnastics and Willie is so happy to go with his dad to the trailer park.

Right now my mood app on my phone says I am happy and I really am. The house we live in is a 1300 sq ft attached townhome with 3 bedrooms and we are all doing really well.  I am looking forward to going to church tomorrow and today is a good day.

I am looking forward to my date with Kyle tonight and I just signed up for Netflix and I think that will help with our stay in this tiny little place. I am so proud of my children. I hope they recognize the Lord's hand in our lives and how he has blessed us with so many great opportunities to learn and progress.  I hope I am taking my opportunities to really be grateful for these trials and I hope I always remember to pray. My mom always taught us to pray.  I will always cherish the prayer circles we always had each morning before we went to school.  My mom NEVER missed a morning.  She always tried her best..
