some changes.....

Connor's name got picked from a waiting list for a new school. It's a school that I've been trying to get both Connor and Anna in for a couple of years now. Once he gets registered, Anna's name will move up on the list as a Sibling Priority. He's really excited, and so I am. I think I'm more nervous than he is though.

I don't have any complaints about the school he is going to right now. The biggest issue is that it is a school for kids with High Functioning Autism and Aspergers Syndrome. He does not have either of these. It's been a good school and all the kids have learned a lot, but it's time for something more. I hope things go well for him (and hopefully Anna) and that we are all able to adjust to the new change.

This change will take place for the next school year. Wish us lots of luck!

All I want to be is a Mom

I don't have a college degree.
I have no aspirations to have one. (at least at this time in my life)

I don't feel like this is a bad thing.

I know lots of people (my age type people) that are going back to school, getting degrees. I'm so proud of them for doing so.

I just don't wanna.

What I DO want to do is be a good mom and a good wife.
I want to have a nice peaceful loving home. A clean home.
I want to have time to bake yummy after school treats. I want to prepare fun family home evening lessons. I want to spend time with Chris, who works odd hours.
I want to have another baby.
So, I talked to my boss on Friday. I told her that I wanted to cut back. Maybe work 1 or 2 days as a substitute. She is willing to work with me. I have an awesome boss.

I just feel like I need to be home more. I feel like it is right and what I should be doing. I feel my family will be blessed in many ways by this decision. Everyone needs to do what is right for them and their family.
A few years down the road, this may all change. But for now, all I want to be is a mom. And a wife.

New Love


On Thursday, I got to witness a very blessed event. My best friend got married! April and Scott Giauque were married for Time and Eternity in the Bountiful Temple. I am so happy that they found each other and already have a great family. It's been a long road April, but you now have a super special companion to travel it. I know that together you can do anything!




Thanks for letting me be a part of this Mr. and Mrs. Giauque! I'll even give you my deviled egg recipe! Good luck in all you do, I love seeing the happiness you two share!
