Latest Updates

Hello to all! Its been a while since I have blogged. My computer is out of commission and work is so busy that I don't get a break to check or update my blog. A lot has been going on lately. Holy schmokes. Either there is No Rest for The Wicked or The Good Don't Need Rest. I can be wicked but gosh life never slows down. I guess if it did, I wouldn't know what to do with myself.

Jax is really into singing. I love it. He is so dang cute. He likes "Go the Distance" from Hercules. He sings all the time. He likes "All I Wanna Do" by Sugarland too. "Life is a Highway" by Rascal Flatts is a favorite. He refers to it as his song or Lightning McQueen.

Speaking of Lightning McQueen, we went to the Sanpete County Demolition Derby a couple weeks ago. There was a car painted like Lightning McQueen and Jax was having a corinary. He LOVED it. He didn't want to leave the derby. We had to walk past the cars and show him that they were "going to sleep and that they were all done crashing." He still talks about it.

I am learning that he picks up on EVERYTHING. If I drop something or spill or mess up, he will take the words right out of my mouth (or my dad's) and say "oh shhhitt." I haven't said it that much because I knew that I needed to watch my mouth but he is so observant. My family wonders why I am constantly telling them to watch what they do around him. He will do as we do not as we say. He is a toddler. That is their nature.

I got a new car. 2008 Ford Fusion. It is beautiful. My stratus (aka BOAT) kept giving me troubles so I drove it down to Freedom Ford and asked to trade it in. I thought I better get it down there before I was pushing it down there and then they would not take it. They would lock the doors and kick me out.

Dancing has always been a passion of mine. I now get the great opportunity to teach it! I am helping a lady in Ephraim teach dance. She has a nice studio in the basement of her old house. She rents out the top and has her studio in the basement. It is so fun. Plus, its some good money.

Schooling will be a part of my life for which seems like FOREVER. I am just part time now though. I have to get a good degree. It will be slowly but for dang surely!! I want to have a stable financial life. I don't want to struggle or live paycheck to paycheck. Budgeting is a big part of it right now. I am getting better at it. I am in the process of training myself "do i absolutely NEED that right now or can it wait?" When I think like this, I do pretty dang good. The only splurge I plan on making in the near future is a dang camera. I miss out on things without one.
