Vance's first day of preschool

Today my little man started preschool. He was so excited to start that he woke up at 2am and came into my room fully dressed in his school uniform. He announced "Mom, I'm ready for school!" I had to send him back to bed and have him change into his jammies. I woke him up at 6:30 fed him breakfast and got him dressed and ready for school.

He LOVED it!!! Ms. Robin is his teacher's name and he was really good today. He can't wait to go back! Blessed beyond words for this opportunity and blessed to have such a good little boy.

Preschool Registration

I am overjoyed to announce that on Monday January 9th we will be enrolling Vance in preschool at Mountain View Christian School! He is so excited and talks about it constantly. Thank you God and the amazing people in my life that have helped make this possible. We are so blessed! More to come and of course pictures on his first day!

Goal #2

My second goal for this year is to finish my Master's degree. This may be harder than it sounds considering currently I have been unenrolled (is that a word) from my college! I am hoping to have this resolved and enrolled in classes again by end of this month. God willing I will be back on track and able to complete my degree by December! :)

New Year, New Goals!

2012 is going to be a great year! I am not making resolutions this year instead I am going to set goals. Small, attainable goals. The first goal of the year that I am going to set is Gossip less, Praise more! We all know that gossiping isn't something we should do and if we are all honest with ourselves we all probably gossip in one way or another. So this year I am going to try to not gossip and instead praise or compliment people. The power of a kind word is great and can make a person's day!

Its ok to not be ok

This is the best saying ever. So many times when life is hard and all you want to do is just sit down and cry, but you don't. You suck it up and say "I'm ok". Why do we lie to ourselves? We aren't ok! Life is hard! It just keeps getting harder.

So many emotions running through me right now. I want to cry. I want to scream. I want to feel something. But I am blank, numb, lost. I'm not ok. I'm scared, and yet I have to be strong. I can not cry! I close my eyes and pray. So many thoughts so many prayers. Pleading for things to be ok, for him to be ok. God, please!

Updates...

Gracious I have been slacking on my blog!! So many things are happening in our lives. Ryan is rocking it in school!!! Nothing but A's, I am so proud of him. We have started going to church with Millisa and Kevin and we are loving it! Ryan and I have rededicated our lives to God and are becoming more active with the church. I have started Grad school and yes if you are wondering I am nuts!! I am enrolled in the MBA program with an emphasis in Health Care Management, however, I am not sure I am going to remain in that major. I am toying with a few different majors. I am working at GES as a billing coordinator. Life is good and moving back to Vegas was a GREAT decision for us!

Baby Shower

Yesterday was my sister in laws baby shower. It was a bit chaotic at first but then things got rolling and it was great. She was blessed beyond words with amazing presents for her little Kollin. The party was a hit, good food, fun games and many blessings for the parents to be. Life is good and God is great! I am so happy to be back home.
