Update....

Wow, it's been a year since I have written here. So much happens in a year and I'm not about to recap an entire year.
I will recap the last little while and say that I started back to school last fall and took a couple of classes. I had to bite the bullet and get the Public Speaking class out of the way whether I liked it or not. What a different experience to take Public Speaking when you are 36 years old and have had so many experiences of getting up in front of others and speaking.(Another blessing of being a member of the church- speaking opportunities and leadership experience on a regular basis) It was really a breeze and very fun at the same time. When it was time to register for the Spring, the church made the BYU-Idaho Pathway program available to our stake in Santa Maria. I jumped on that and started in January and can't believe I'm saying that I only have 3 weeks left until the end of the trimester. It has been such a wonderful school experience. It felt hard in the beginning and so time consuming but I have been able to get my groove and manage my time/family/homework/kids games/kids homework/housework/church calling, etc. all at the same time. We really can do hard things! I just registered for the next trimester which starts on April 17th. I am so thankful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. There are countless blessings and opportunities. I am so thankful for the experience that I have had being with 24 other wonderful students/members who I have gotten to know much better who are in my ward/stake. We are all growing and learning together!
I'm off to get going today-housework, homework, look for a job, exercise, hopefully eat right and work on some laundry. I still have my helper, Ellie here in the morning. She doesn't go to school until 11am. I love afternoon Kindergarten for her. She likes to lounge around in the morning and take a bit more time than the others. It's really cute. The time is getting away from me.....
