When did I get so bad at this?
A few things has happened since I last posted. We made alot of final decisions and we're so very excited about all of them.
1. We are completely for sure that we'll be moving to MO after graduation and before BOLC. We've already got a house all we have to pay for is utilities (which is a huge burden off our shoulders) and we'll even get to do a few renovations which I'm totally excited about.
2. I've changed my major to Web Design with a cluster in business (since I'm taking 3 business classes already and I don't want to waste them) and a cluster in family (since I only have 2 more of those classes left).
3. I just became a Pampered Chef independent consultant and I pretty much love it. I've only done one show and I didnt sell anything, but it was a fun learning experience. They got to be my guinea pigs and I was grateful for that. So now you know rexburg and utah friends. If you're in need of some awesome kitchen supplies Im your girl. Seriously.
4. Lorelei cut her hair. I finally just gave up and decided that Lorelei would probably like having her hair done if it wasn't a huge rats nest everyday, so we gave her a cute little bob hair cut. Super cute when it's straight and even cuter when it's curly. I'm learning people.. slowly but surely I'll get a hang of this curly hair thing.
Looks like it will be a long night.
Here's to an awesome week.

Urkel-ing it up for you
oh my. my brain and eyes hurt muy mucho. like my geekiness. those earphones are uh-mazing.
How has your week been? mine, slow and fast at the same time. so much school work. so much laundry. so much paper being printed off.
I was super overwhelmed on wednesday and decided to drop a class, it was giving me major anxiety. (must talk to kellie about this).
It's a good thing I don't drink because I'd be turning to one right now. I'll just have a coke instead.
I've found that now that I've got two children, working on homework while they are awake is nearly impossible. When one whines, the other one decides that he/she wants to whine to. Or spencer just attacks me so that he can play with my calculator (while i need it), he doesn't like it when i push him away (gently... on the couch) and keep the calculator all to myself. 5 mins of that and I usually give up and just give him the calculator.
Today I had a little wrestling match with spencer, finally i gave up and said, lets go to the gym. I ran off my frustration for the first time ever. Normally when I'm running I'm bored out my mind, but this time it was good.Theraputic even.
also. something that has made me deliriously happy for the last 2 hours.. Pandoras Incubus Radio station. ZOMG ( i don't even know what that means) it's the bomb diggity (<--- i know what that means).
I should end this before people start to think i've lost my marbles... because i kind of already did.
This weekend will just be full of reading, and maybe a few blog updates :) like a picture of my two children who are growing way to fast.
Did i mention that Lorelei is a Sunbeam and Spencer is in Nursery now? What did Austin and I do last sunday? We walked around the church because we literally didn't know what to do with ourselves. haha it was Grrrrreat.

New Years Resolutions
It's a new year (well tomorrow anyways) and I've got some goals. Hopefully, this year I wont be a huge flake an I'll actually stick to my goals.
This year I really hope to focus on my family and my personal well-being. It's so important for me to foster love and encouragement into our home this year. I want my children to know that I'll love them no matter what and that they have the ability to do anything. I'm also hoping that this year we can really be in tune with the Lord. We've been really bad at this this year and I want to be able to feel the spirit in my home at all times. I want my house to be serene this year, a place where you can walk into the door and just feel all burdens lifted from your shoulders.
okay here we go:
Goals for the Family:
+ daily scripture reading
+ daily prayers
+ Family dinners
+ family home evenings: it doesn't always have to be stuffy a structured, just a time where we have no obligations and are focusing on each other and having fun.
+ cleanliness is next to godliness: a clean house makes for a happy family.
+ No tempers will be raised in the house
+No more yelling, it's scary and makes people sad
Goals for me:
+ 5 x a week I've got a date with the gym
+keep a planner, I used to be so good at this, but lately i've been slacking hard core and with school this semester I've got to write these things down or i'll lose my mind.
+ Make myself look presentable most of the time, I pride myself in not having to wear makeup, but seriously i need to start attempting to look fresh faced and peachy instead of tired and grey.
+ stop hoarding purses and papers
+document our family this year! I've never done this, I really need to start taking daily pictures and documenting things that happen to us.
+cook more meals and menu plan. boy I've really let myself go the last half of year.
I need to write these out and post them on the wall so that I have to read these everyday.
I hope that this year I can be more productive with my time and not fall off the wagon. I just gave up after july.. so this is my motivation to get back on track.
