Times flyin by, moving so fast. Better make it count cause you can't get it back ♥

Its November! Where has the time gone? This year has been one of the most challengingly awesome ones so far.  I decided VERY last minute that I wanted to go back to school this fall.  And after MUCH praying and reading the scriptures I KNEW what I wanted to do.  So I started my associates degree in Elementary Education.  My goal is to have my Bachelors degree my the time I'm thirty. (I know that is 6.5 years away, but I AM working full time as well.) Thus the challenging part.  The awesome part? I could go on for days!  I have the most wonderful family and friends in the world.  I dont know HOW I got so blessed, but I thank God every single day for the greatness in my life. 

Just a brief overview of what has been going on lately, and some funny things:
Our ward is getting ready for our primary program.  As we were practicing Sunday, one of my cute lil 4 year olds comes up to me and says "You know how sometimes when grandma's get old, like you, they die? Mine did" haha it was a bittersweet moment of "how old do you think I am?!" and "Im so sorry to hear that".  I love my calling. It is definitely where I am supposed to be right now.

School.  Its school. haha. It has been a HUGE transition for me, because I never wanted to go back to school, I was going to be a stay at home mom if it killed me!  I have been very blessed with wonderful teacher, and made some pretty awesome friends in my classes.

Work.  I am still at Wamsley and Associates, and I absolutely love it.  I have my moments, as with any job, that I want to throw in the towel and go back to bed.  But I have such a wonderful boss.  He is so understanding and friendly.

Marriage.  As usual, this is fabulous.  He is my biggest cheerleader, and he is always there for me.  He has NEVER doubted my ability to get through school and do whatever I set my mind to.  I don't know what I ever did without him, and I pray that I never have to find out how to live without him again.

I have the greatest family EVER.  I got the opportunity to babysit my sweet nephew, Noah the other night.  He is such a cutie.  He could get away with murder.  We were wrestling and he was laughing SOOO hard.  Then we cuddled and watched Barney for a few minutes, then got ready for bed and read a book with some warm milk.  This kid makes me sooo excited to be a mom someday.  Rachy is a wonderful mom, and a great example of what I want to be IF I ever grow up ;)
