I'm Done!!!!

I am a college graduate!!!! Whoo hoo! it's been 9 years since i first started college and i just finished Dec 11th. I wasn't actually in school for 9years, there were many semesters that i was out either working or competing or having kids...ha! I won't actually get my diploma till may because my small school doesn't have a Dec graduation but by golly I have my degree. Kinda scary though, now i have to pay back loans and work full time and all that lovely adult stuff. 

Kids are great..Blake turned 4 on the Dec 2nd and amazingly finished potty training completely a few weeks before.  He was doing good but still having those lazy accidents and then all of a sudden i didn't even have to remind him anymore. That's a relief!!!

I will be home for christmas several days and hopefully can catch up with mi amigos!

Well i started back to school this week, my last semester, and it feels so good!!! I have an aweful lot going on right now and most important on my mind is my show coming up this next weekend!! I am so excited!  My contest prep takes up most of my free time and for those of you who have never been around me at this time, just bear with me one more week.  Some days i am just so worn out and feel like total crap and am really don't have it in me to talk.  Even when i do have carbs and my brain functions better i still don't want to talk about my diet or tell someone yet again when exactly my show is.  You know that saying if you can't say something nice, don't say anything? Well that's me right now, i get snippy really easy so i choose not to be sociable at all!  It's not all that bad, i'm normally friendly but i do have my days, and most around me have learned to just give me my space. So that's that.

Kids are great1 Blake has gotten a few bad reports from daycare but it usually stems from him following others and just not obeying.  That and the fact that he needs more mommy time! taylor is such a dominant force that Blake has to act up to compete.  I'm working on not being so hard on him. I think that i expect a lot because he is the older child and i forget that he is only 3! He really does have such a sweet dispositon though. and, i have to brag, his teacher told me that he is exeptionally smart and maybe even beyond. I'm beaming!!!

Well, i haven't found my camera, don't tell my brother! I am afraid that i may have been stolen out of my gym bag...I would welcome prayers to help me find it,is that silly? I have looked everywhere!

Well hello!

Ya i know its been forever! i've been busy busy! Kids are doing great...Blake is still potty training but pretty musch has it down. Tayor is so much fun right now, he is starting to talk a lot and will mimic anything you do. Such a big personality too. At daycare they call him daddy becasue he is always taking care of and getting on to the kids!  It's so fuinny! Balke and Taylor both have great personalitues but Taylor is much more agressive. Blake is more of a follower and it tends to get him in trouble sometimes.

Well for those that don't know i've been doing the single mom thing pretty much since Jan...It's good though, very hard at times with work and school and on top of that my competitions but i've managed. I have some great friends that help me out too. I'm stressed at times but happy!

I will post updated pics as soon as i can find my camera! i went home for a visit a few weeks ago and had a great visit. My family hadn't seen the kids since christmas so they were excited. My bro took me drivin on some trails and i thought we were gonna flip, it was a rush though!

Anywya, just wanted to let everyone know i'm alive and doing good. I've got a big competiton coming up Set 1st, a national show, i'm very excited for it! I'll let every know how it goes.

To my parents!
