The holidays are gone and we are trying to get back into the routine of school, work and activities. It seems like are calendar is always full of something and anytime I have a day off it's filled with something. Tyler and I have also really started talking about the Big Move this summer and when do we start cleansing rooms, getting rid of stuff we have already decided we are taking, packing, and when do we go up to find a house to rent? We are about 6 months away. YIKES! I have several good job leads and even though there has been a bump in the road of my plans to finish school it's totally doable and I just have to rearrange my thinking. I need some help on how to retain the knowledge to pass Art of the Western World. What the heck does it have to do with Nursing. Nothing I tell you! It's just 3 credits I need towards my degree and there is no way around it because believe me I have tried and tried. I finally gave up and started studying. LOL for the time I spent trying to get out of it I should have been studying.
We had a great Christmas this year although we did miss my side of the family. We played it pretty low key. We had the kids each get a name from a tree and buy the presents for that child, plus my family adopted a military family and some children from a group home for Christmas. The kids really enjoyed buying for others and it was fun to see them so excited to do stuff for others and not just take take take.
I have also come across a website that is fabulous. It's the Pioneer Woman. I have tried several of her recipes in the last few weeks and all have enjoyed every one of them. The cinnamon rolls Christmas morning were a huge hit!
We are off this weekend for another adventure to Bend. I pray that the roads are clear and it doesn't take us too long to get there! We are ready for a friend and fun filled weekend. I think Tyler and I are more excited about sledding than the kids though. I will have to post so pictures from our adventures and the holidays.
