Failing

So yeah. As you can tell I have failed at making sure to blog every week. This has also leaked Into my other two goals for this year, as well. But, be that as it may, I am still going to try to keep up with these goals in the future - just need to keep them in sight.

The past two weeks have been fast and furious, although looking back there were some long days mixed in there, as well. We hit the100th day of school on Monday, meaning there are only 77 teaching days left. I honestly have to say that I'm a little excited about that. Every year brings its challenges but this year has been tough in so many ways. I always grow from these experiences, it's just the growing pains that get me.

I have been so blessed to be able to share doTERRA's oils with many wonderful women in the past two weeks and have enjoyed sharing in their excitement in learning about natural ways to heal and protect their children, husbands, and friends. We already have several potential classes where we can further share these oils. Guess that means I need to get organized with my business. I purchased my first bit of marketing aid last night. Now I just need to get it all in order and ready to go. I'm looking forward to what this adventure brings as well as the goal of being able to stay home with our future children.

Financial Peace Update:
We are slowly creeping up on paying off the car. March 1st should be my happy dance day (K will just be happy) where we will celebrate the paying off of the car. Perhaps we'll take that bad boy out for a spin, relishing in our achievement. WE ARE SO EXCITED! We are getting so much closer to our financial dreams! Debt Free! If you would have told us even a year ago that we would already be at this point we would have been skeptical. Only three school loans stand in our way until baby step 3. We can do it!

Have a great week y'all!

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...
