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.

Las Vegas is calling....

We have decided that we are moving back to Las Vegas. Washington has been very good to us and we have no regrets about moving up here and starting our lives as a married couple on our own. We have been able to grow as a couple and bond in many ways. This experience has been amazing and beneficial for our marriage and lives. With that said, we feel as if our journey and growth here have come to an end. We really want to be able to raise Vance around his grandparents. It is difficult to do with all of them in Vegas and us here. Schedules conflict and finances aren't there to allow as many visits as we would all like. To be honest, I miss my family and so does my husband. We have weighed this decision and it has been heavy on our hearts and minds for quite some time. We made a list of pros and cons and when everything was said and done all signs pointed us back to Vegas. So we are about to embark on another chapter of our lives. Starting over once again, only this time it will be back HOME!!! We will have the support of both of our families. God has blessed us in so many ways and we have faith that he will continue to bless us and guide us down the right paths in life. I am bursting with excitement and can't wait until the days have passed and we arrive in Vegas. It can't come soon enough for me!! I just pray that when the time comes we have a safe journey and that we will be able to find work in Vegas. Every fiber in my being says that this is what we are supposed to do, and that God has a plan and things will work out including jobs. Ryan is planning on going back to school for HVAC. I couldn't be more proud of my husband for making this decision and taking the steps to further his education and career. He is amazing and I am blessed beyond words that he is mine. Life is good and it will only get better!!!

Decisions....

Decisions have been made and a plan devised. Now it seems to be a matter of time. God please guide us down the right path as we make some changes in our lives.
