Here and There

Okay....so my posts below and the ones posted in the future may be all over the place! I thought about doing things in a mannerly order...but really who has time to outline a year of events~~not I!! Basically, when I am blogging, I am avoiding my dreaded homework-I would rather prefer it as a releasing of innards tho, clearing the mind...haha, sounds good anyways!
So much is going on in these moments anymore, I feel like I am in Crazy/Worry/Plan-ville! I am ready READY READY for this move!! I want to be done with it, on the beach with a margarita, and settled already! Things are coming together one step at a time tho! We have moved the Moving Date to the end of May now instead of June! Saint Petersburg, Florida is the chosen location. I am enrolling to Galen Health Institute, as long as the 1000 tests that they require all go in my favor, I will start with them in November 2011. This school sounds very intense, however I will be done very quickly, which is a PLUS!

Well, I have rambled enough! Enjoy the new posts! I am heading to bed....early to rise to go on a field trip with Ethan's class to Marsh~the grocery store~! Really?? I hate the grocery store and I need groceries...go figure!

~Our beloved fatboy~

In 2010, we tragically lost our Sammy in an accident. His curiosity got him in trouble and we had to make the decision to put him to rest. It has been so difficult losing him, especially for Ethan. He loved him so much and hate that he had to witness the traumatic event. Clint and I had had him for almost 11 years, he was a Christmas gift to me! There isn't a day that goes by that we do not think of him!

We love and miss you Fatboy! May you be surrounded by FatCat toys!

A boy and his toy!

Clint's new two-wheel toy! I hold a love-hate relationship with this "toy!"

Although it is great fun, it still scares me!

(Yes...Mr. Ray, she does look good)

Family Photos!

Over the fall, I decided to get our family pictures taken. Our friend, Kim, from high school does photography on her own, self-taught and I believe she did a pretty awesome job! (especially given the circumstances of a very uncooperative 5 year old!). There were many other shots but these are a few of my favorites!

...those eyes...

I am ALIVE!

Ok....so I have seriously failed at being a blogger for the past year! At least I make a better student than blogger...bahahaha! Ok, I skipped out on New Year's resolutions..lose weight, be healthy, be a better, more patient, organized mother/wife/person in general, however instead of disappointing myself, I will let these things happen naturally. I would like to make myself come back to my blog! I really miss it so much, and the past year or so that I have ignored it, so much has happened and I would love to go back and read about it all!! My child has grown into this giant 5 year old going on like 16, we have lost a precious furry family member, made huge future plans for ourselves, and just the normal everyday events that are big in the moment and then forgotten!! I am hoping by the end of this weekend (along with my 99 math problems and math quiz, interview for english, and my much needed night out of partying on Saturday) that I can successfully get some "2010-year-in-review" pictures posted!!! So to my fellow bloggers/readers...I am back!!

Study...Study...Study

As for myself, classes are going great! I have straight A's for now and only a little over a month left for my first semester! I am ready to get this semester over with and enjoy a couple weeks off! I am continuing classes (rather one class) through the summer so I will stay busy! I also have been busy between classes working out. I joined the Newtone Health and Fitness club! So far so good....I am loving it!! Just a little update....now off to study for a fun Math test!!
