2 months???

Yes, you read that correctly - it has been 2 months. I cannot believe that it has been long since I have blogged last. We have had so much going on that I guess we have not had time to write about it - ever have the same feeling? Well, let's see, where do we start. Our little nephew was born - Stetson. So adorable! We were able to go and see him and Nat & Mara the night of his birth and it was just so exciting! We were also able to move Amanda out of the house, although probably half of her stuff is still in our house. LOL. It was definitely interesting moving her in and not getting to stay - although I did get asked if I was moving in, too. That's right, I still look like a college student. Hmmm . . . not sure what to think about that. :) Right after moving Amanda out, I started in-service and I am on to my third week of school, already!! Crazy, right?? It has been a crazy beginning, which I am sure will happen each and every year. I am enjoying this year immensely more than last year in terms of teaching. I am now working on maintaining discipline and it has been CRAZY but I am sure it will be an awesome year. I was actually able to go to one of my kids soccer games today and that was great! I absolutely loved talking with their family and just watching them play - so cute!

And . . . Karl got a new job! That's right. He starts his new job in a little over two weeks. We are both so excited for this opportunity for him. And the best part is is that he will have a regular schedule so we can have weekends together and actually start going to church together!!! I am so excited. He will start his new job a few days after getting back from a short trip to Michigan for dad's wedding, so it will be a nice vacation before hitting it hard. :)

And . . . I started my 4th semester of grad work and I am a little overwhelmed to say the least. I have so much to do this semester. I am just glad that the chaos of jobs is out of the way. It may help things more than what I originally envisioned.

I think that is all of the main things that have happened lately. If I have forgotten something, I am so sorry. We are bout to go to a friend's house for dinner, so I better jet. See ya!

If this happens one more time . . .

Anyone know a good cell phone service provider? This is the second time that we worked with someone at AT&T and I am about ready to switch providers. We went in there today to get my phone moved to Karl's plan, which we had to get a form filled out by my mom (well, kinda :), it helps when I can sign like mom; it's not like I didn't have her permission) in order to do so. We walked in and talked to this guy, gave him the form, and we thought that he understodd what we needed to be done and he just started going. We got to the point where I would pick out a phone and he started getting stuff ready and I re-asked him, after he wanted to know what number I wanted to use for it, if my phone was now on Karl's plan and he just went crazy on us. Basically he said that we never told him that that is what we wanted. He was very rude, basically saying that it was our fault that he did all this work for nothing. It was very disheartening and I really wanted to tell him to forge...

New Journey . . . Diamond Club

What does it take to make a diamond? Any ideas? According to Wikipedia, you know the source for all things, a diamond is "formed at high temperature[s] and pressure". Karl and I are excited to announce that we will be taking part in journey. A journey that will, hopefully, push us to Diamond. It will take a lot of work but we are excited for this opportunity for our team. What is Diamond Club? Why is this so exciting? Maybe this video will explain it better. Diamond Club creates a great opportunity for EVERYONE! It allows Karl and I to travel to areas that want to grow and also allows for new members to receive additional products with their enrollment and subsequent LRP orders. Free stuff??? Yes, please!!! It really is a great opportunity for everyone on our team. We are looking forward to the immense growth that will happen because of this wonderful opportunity. So you may be asking, how do I get involved? What does this look like exactly? Basically we...

Writer's Corner Number 8

Typed from written Journal Entry: I thought I’d change it up a bit and try writing in journal form tonight. I am also curious to see the difference in length of writing for both writing formats. Dr. Semingson suggested incorporating pictures into our journal writings/posts. I don’t have any pics from growing up – they are all at my dad’s house in Michigan – but I can start adding new pics from Alaska, especially when it comes time to talk about our honeymoon adventures there. Today I want to start by talking about earthquakes. I want to preface this “talk” with a story from when I moved to Texas. Not long into the start of my 7th grade year we practice emergency drills. I remember one of my teachers talking about what to do in case of an emergency: crouch down with your head near a wall and cover your head. I remember thinking that getting near a wall wouldn’t be the safest thing in the world but I didn’t argue – I didn’t know what that emergency drill was for. Now that I’m olde...
