Life and My Comfy Robe

My life feels like it is in shambles because my classes are kicking my butt! But if that is the only thing wrong in my life... I feel like I can say I have a really great life. And I do.

Yesterday I taught my preschool class for the first time, and it was a pretty good first time! Plus ALL the children were there! One of our students had to drop the program because of a fever of 103 for the past 10 days! We have been praying and hope this child feels better. They moved to Utah to go to Primary Children's. Everything will work out the way it is supposed to. God makes sure of it.

Now, I normally don't do political things, but just so everyone knows... I VOTE ROMNEY '12! Also, I feel like Obama says what he thinks people want to hear. I feel the Romney knows who he is, has a good foundation, and has firm beliefs. This is what I look for in a leader...not a flip-flopper.

Marcus did not pass his first phone interview for the naval position, but his recruiter assures us that he will work us through the process. He got 6/10 questions right. I feel that for the interview to be positive he needs to get at least an 8. He is a little rusty on some of the mathematics since he has been tutoring physics this semester, so he has been studying like a madman. Keep him in your prayers please!

My little girl is growing up so quickly! I keep looking at newborn pictures of her and I get so sad that she is not that small any more, but seeing her grow is the best thing...kinda indescribable. The first time she held her bottle was the best day of my life because I could now focus on homework at the same time she was feeding!
Maddy at 7 months old!
Maddy at a couple of days old.











Can you see the huge difference? She can sit on her own and she is THIS close (imagine me with my thumb and index finger almost touching) to crawling. She gets frustrated that she can't move as easily as we can, but she also knows she is so close! She is so smart! She knows how to kick a ball (I taught her about a week or so ago), and she giggles at the littlest things!

That's my new comfy robe I got for my birthday. I wear it all the time around the house. 


Alden came over with Brett and Lee to wish me a belated happy birthday! :) Alden wanted to play with Maddy so much, and she giggled and giggled until it was an old game. I am so fortunate to have so many people who love Madeline. 

I need to start working out. Seriously. It's not that I am gaining weight or anything...I just feel generally unhealthy... Exercise is a huge part of being healthy and I have basically cut it out of my life. I get out to the gym/track once a week, but I really want to work up to every day (minus the Sabbath.) It's difficult juggling my life...baby...homework...housework...baby...marriage...baby...homework (lots of homework). I am trying to be well-rounded, but let me tell you that it is exhausting. Once I get my degree I will feel so GREAT. Only one year to go. I am so faaar behind! It' okay. It just matters that I get the degree.

On another note, I feel that I have the best husband in the world. He threw me a surprise birthday party. I really had no idea he was planning it, but all my friends bailed out, and things just popped up. Luckily Sabrina and Zach still came over and babysat so Marcus could take me on a date instead. It would have been great to celebrate with my friends since this is the last semester Racheal and Jacob will be here in Idaho, but I was happy to go on a date with Marcus not having to be the one to find a babysitter. PLUS, he got me a massage! It was the BEST gift EVER! I think I am addicted... I entered myself in for a chance to win a free massage, so I hope that happens. I find out Oct. 31st.
