Lazy Days

I love lazy days. I am really doing nothing to much today. I have class at 2:30 and then work at 5:00 but neither is all that taxing. I mean I work in the same building that I live in so that rocks and I really love ASL.

I will be in florida in six days. I am so excited. I do have to say that I am a little nervous to fly for the first time. I think it will be cool but a little scary. But getting to Florida in just over 2 hours instead of 14 hours. I need to finish packing but all in all I am so excited.

I have been making cute little die cuts and I am so behind on getting pictures posted and I really should get them on here. Maybe tonight.

I really slept in.

I really slept in today. It almost feels like those days as a teenage when you could sleep most of the morning away. My daughter is the one that said mom you are really sleeping in today LOL. Normally its the other way around.

I finished my final exam paper for my 8 week course yesterday and now we are in the waiting game for the final grade for the course. I am thinking it should be an A hopefully, the class was pretty easy. I am preparing myself for the long year a head and the loaded semesters. Nate tells me that I will be very proud of myself when I am done. I think I will be grateful that its over and really will not appreciate it until later that summer once we have moved.

Speaking of moving we have narrowed down the apartment search to 4 apartments and are planning a small weekend trip this summer to check them out. They all are located within 5 miles of Disney and they are really nice.

So what are my plans today, the usual mom stuff.. grocery shopping, cleaning the house and cooking. Nothing too excited. Oh I also plan on taking some pictures of the new stuff that I plan on listing in my Etsy store. They are so cute.

A pain in the Neck

It has been almost 3 weeks since I kinked my neck the first and I messed it up again this past weekend horse-playing with the kids. For some reason it is taking longer to heal this time and I am really over it. Today is not nearly as bad as Saturday was but this is affecting my sleep and that is no good since I have a paper due today by midnight. I am going to put a themra wrap on and hope that helps.

The pot roast turned out amazing and like usual Natalie wanted to eat all the leftovers. Silly girl what I won't gift to have her metabolism. To be able to eat like a horse and still have a killer figure that would rock. I think she is going through another growth spurt and I know this means she will be even taller than she is now and I already have to pull her down to my eye level. That is a real bummer. I think she might be 5'9 by the time she stops growing.

Well that paper is not going to write itself, although I wish it would. TTFN

Mmmmm.. Pot Roast

Sitting here waiting for the pot roast to finish cooking and the house smells wonderful. It has been a very lazy day. I am enjoying the quiet before work starts tomorrow. I will be packing and cleaning all this week to prepare for leaving for Disney on March 14th. Natalie watching movies and Nate is watching Nascar. Family all together doing what everyone enjoys and that is very blissful.

So let's talk more about the upcoming year. I am very anxious about the next year and couple months. There is a lot of classes that I have to fit in and it is going to be very hard. I know that I will not be doing much crafting because of this new change to our plans. I am not looking forward to moving again. I hate packing and unpacking but I am super excited about moving to the Sunshine state.

I know that my mom hates the idea and I am really not on the best terms with her but I hope she does not make Natalie feel bad about moving because this mama will not have that. I am know that my baby brother is excited but sad that we are moving further away. But we all agree its what is best for us.

mmmm. That pot roast is really smelling good now, I cant wait to eat.

Good Visit

Well my baby brother and his wife are expecting baby number six. I am very happy for them at least one of us are fertile LOL. We also told some family members that we will be moving to Florida next June. I know its about time. I will be graduating next May and leaving after my last classes in June. Although I will miss my family and friends more than I currently do I know Florida is where we are suppose to be. Natalie is very excited about going and she is even starting to tell some of her friends about it. I think this might be the move that helps plant my feet firmly on the ground. Well thats all folks off to bed I go.

another weekend in the Bend

Getting ready to head to South Bend for the next two days. Natalie has a Birthday party Sleepover tomorrow and we are just going to hang out and visit those we can. I am super excited a week from Monday I will be getting on a plane for Florida.

I know most people will think that we are crazy for going so much but to be honest that is where we all want to be. I think it will come sooner than we thought and for this I am truly happy. I have been living in denial for far to long and I really am past whose feelings are going to get hurt. I have now realized the road goes both ways and everyone can visit.

Man I woke up being a little pissy. I am not sure why. I think I am really just trying to do whats best for me for a change and in the process I am realizing some people are not going to like it. In the best I would have really thought about that and now I realize this is my life and I have the right to live it.

Natalie is super excited about the Bday party and Leaving for disney soon so here is to the count down. Let's hope for a relatively fast week ahead.

One Class down..

Today was the last day of my 8 week course this semester. I have to say taking 8 week course rock and the amount of work was not bad at all. I will be happy when the prof posts the questions for the final exam so I can write the essay and be officially done with the class.
Well I think I have completely lost my mind. I am going to try to graduate next May. That is about one year ahead of schedule but I am ready to move on to the next chapter in my life.

It will mean all work and almost no play and Nate and Natalie have agreed to pick up the slack so I can accomplish this drastic goal.

But enough with the future let's take a min to talk about today . I am going to make a birthday card and some die cuts to go along with the birthday gift.
