Fall Season

[Pictures soon to come]
I love decorating for fall and halloween! Decorating in my own house is much more fun then decorating an apartment. So I used that excuse to go out and buy fall decor. I love the pumpkins, harvest themes, the cooler weather and of course all the fun activities that go along: pumpkin carving, corn mazes, haunted houses, and stomping on the fallen leaves!

Working on getting organized...

A few weeks ago we cleaned out the cars because Juan was wanting to sell them and get a new one. Anyways we piled up all the junk in a corner of the living room. This weekend we finally! went through it all and got organized. Well, Juan did anyways. I am better at cleaning the house (doing the dishes, laundry, sweeping, mopping, etc.) He is great at getting rid of the junk and making the house look organized. We still have about 6 boxes of junk in the basement that never got unpacked (because its just junk) so I told him each weekend he can work on one box :) Well anyways in that pile we found an old camera! It had pictures from the summer so I can put up some new pics... Just not today because today I need to learn my anatomy! So far this semester I've had one chemistry exam and one physiology exam and wednesday is my first anatomy exam. Anatomy is probably my favorite class (The second time over everything comes so much easier!) Chemistry is my easy A. My first exam was 100/105 and my husband questions why I didn't get those last 5 points, until he sees my physiology score... I have a much harder time with biology, so time to hit the books for wednesday!!

The End of the Summer....

Well I can´t believe how quickly this summer has passed. We have kept so busy with working and the changes to our family. Fixing up and moving into our home took up alot of time, and its an ongoing process. We have had many fun adventures with Jade this summer. We´ve gone swimming, to the park, to Jugle Jims and Hollywood Connections, we went to Lava Hot Springs, seen a few movies, we went camping to Fairview, Jade loved her first Demolition Derby!, we´ve played at 7 creeks, sugarhouse park, and went to the county fair. So many adventures and I am so terrible at keeping up with them with pictures and writing our memories! Now I start school on wednesday and Jade starts preschool on the 31st so its off to another busy year!

Our little home

I haven't posted in a long time because we have been so busy and then I lost my camera for awhile! But I found it today so I wanted to post some updates to our life. In June, we finally closed on our house!!! It took a long, long time and lots of papers and patience, but it finally happened! And we couldn't be happier!!

The living room:
Our little kitchen, which is already a mess (of course):
The master bedroom:
The boys painting Jade's room:
The bathroom (my least favorite part of the house, it needs to be completely remodeled):
Our garage:
I cooked our very first dinner before we move in!

We just finished painting and put in new carpet so I will post the "after" pics asap!

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there. I am so thankful for my mom and the way she raised me and taught me. I wouldn't be the person I am without her. I love you mom!
This holiday isn't mine to celebrate yet. (I only have the work of a mom every other weekend... but I still get to enjoy all the hugs and kisses and I love yous, just minus the title.) So of course I am working again today :( but its ok, I get to share mother's day with all my grandmas and grandpas!
On friday was the commencement from SLCC. I am officially a college graduate! Whooo!
But an Associates in gen ed doesn't really get me anywhere so in the fall I will be off to school again. I am taking 3 classes fall semester and then I can apply to nursing schools. 3 classes should be a breeze after this semester... 5 was just too much so I bombed chemistry. But I don't think it will really be that easy. Anatomy and Physiology will take a lot of time and then I will retake chemistry. Since it is my third time in anatomy hopefully it will come easy this time. Third times the charm! :)
I enjoy the labs most of all and thats where I really do well. Its the written part of the classes that I have a hard time. I just don't really like lectures... I have a hard time paying attention and then I justify a million reasons for not going to class.
But not this fall. I am going to do my best. I really want to go to nursing school. I really enjoy working in geriatrics and especially with the Alzheimers patients. So I need to get my grades up so I can get accepted!
