Lifelong Learning

Wow, it has been a VERY long time since I have been on my blog...updating it has been in the back of my mind for quite some time, I just haven't acted upon it. To better explain why I am here, all of a sudden, I am going to go back a little...

Earlier this year, I decided that I wanted to finish school to earn a degree. I have been sitting at one class shy of an Associates degree for the past 6 years and it has been eating at me. However, I've been  hesitant to pursue anything out of fear. Afraid that I wouldn't understand, afraid that I wouldn't be able to keep up with my work and my responsibilities as a wife and mother. Afraid of the amount of effort I would have to put forth, because school never came easy for me, and I had to work extra hard. I am happy to say that, almost 1 month ago, I began my trek toward my degree. No, I haven't overcome the fear, but I have learned that, as long as I put forth my best effort, then turn to the Lord, He will make up the difference. I am truly grateful, for the Pathway program through BYU-Idaho. It has give me and others like me the opportunity to accomplish this goal.



I have been reminded over the course of just a couple of weeks, that Heavenly Father is very aware of me. He knows my circumstances, fears, joys, set backs, needs and desires. And wants nothing for me but my happiness. I am grateful too, for this program, because it is helping me get back on track with where I want to be, as a disciple of Christ. Too easily, I allow the distractions of the world to cloud my thoughts and actions, and I lose focus of what is truly important. I love the fact that, as I get to learn in a school setting, I also, am able to strengthen my testimony in my Savior. Allowing the Holy Ghost to teach me throughout any situation in life. "Learning has and Eternal shelf life." And I have been given the opportunity to seek knowledge, spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally. So that I can continue to be the best me. It isn't always easy, and I get distracted, but as long as I keep my goal in focus, I am able to stay on track and accomplish all that I set my mind to.

Our One & Only....Birthday Boy!

Z celebrated his birthday....almost 3 months ago....wow I am really behind in all this!! Well at least I have pictures to help me remember details :o)

He wanted a "Sports" party...yes he is ALL boy. Since his birthday fell on a Sunday this year he had his party on Saturday, which began with a soccer game and then a few hours of nothing but play! That many boys together, well let's just say I was glad the weather had cooperated and it was a Bee-U-tiful day so what do you do with a lot of boys between the ages of 4-7?!?! Oh yeah....a bounce house :o)
I think they all had a lot of fun going crazy in that and making their own jerseys, and of course who can forget all the goodies, that's right...fill 'em full of sugar then send them home!
HaPpY BiRtHdAy!!
