Happy 2008!

Gosh, I don't know how many times I have apologized for not being a very good blogger, but here I go again!! Time just gets away from me!

We are doing fabulous!! A new year and new fun times to be had! We hope that your 2008 is the best ever!!!

Well, what have we been doing??? What HAVEN'T we been doing! We celebrated Christmas.....which was TONS of fun!! Here is our Christmas slideshow...




Rachel is almost 14 months so she has turned another month old since I posted last. She is really becoming such a big girl. She is talking up a storm...stuff you can actually understand. She is comprehending a lot more that Mommy and Daddy say too. She truly is the best little girl and we are so proud of her! Here is a slideshow of some miscellaneous pictures since the last post....




I have had another birthday! Yep...one more year. Brice and I went and tried fondue for the first time....not the biggest fan...maybe next time we will be more impressed but I did have a wonderful birthday. I am in the middle of job interviews and praying God's will for our family concerning my job situation. I have been offered one job and turned it down because of distance and hours and have a meeting Wednesday for a weekend PRN position with a local hospital. It would only be 2 shifts per month on the weekend. She is going to offer me the job on Wednesday so we will see how that goes and Thursday is a 2nd interview for a full time job at the closest hospital to our house. This one would definitely have me away from Rachel more than both of us are used to, so it will take some extra consideration and prayer....I will keep you posted!!

Brice enters busy season full force starting, actually tomorrow! It will be rough around here for a few months. Rachel isn't going to understand why her daddy isn't able to play with her as much. She loves playing with Daddy!! I hate this time of the year....but it brings in the money!

I hoping to accomplish much this year...I have a few things I want to do before the rolling over of the next year but I won't call them resolutions...I hate New Year's Resolutions! I am praying for strength and wisdom because all of these things will make me a better Mommy, wife, and overall person. Here's to 2008!!! Be blessed!

Friends...Forever!

What is a friend?  Webster defines a friend as: a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. It goes on to talk about a friend being a supporter.  I would have the tendency to assume that everyone has at least one friend...maybe not a best friend or perhaps maybe not even a close friend but someone that they can call a friend.  I know that difference personality types lend themselves for more friends than others.  I am a sanguine which means that I have a lot of people that I consider to be my friend.  I have always been the type of person that needs and wants friends...people around me who love me, encourage me, and support me.  On the flip side of this, I have always had a hard time trusting people so I tend to be skeptical of people.  Unfortunately, a friend described me pretty accurately this morning.  She said that I (and she is the same way) have the tendency to dislike people until I have a reason to like them.  No, not proud of it...but I am just skeptical.  I have been hurt

Replace My Complaining Attitude

If you know anything about me, you know that I am blunt.  I am straight-forward, to the point, and to a fault, honest.  This is something that I have often wanted to change about myself.  Let's face it, there are things about each one of us that we would change, and let me be clear, there are MANY other things I would change but becoming more gentle has always been something I have longed for. I have had people tell me that I should be proud of this.  They wish they could be more assertive like me.  I guess there are good points to this type of characteristic but more times than not, I find myself getting into trouble because of it.   Piggy-backing on that character istic  flaw is the fact that I am a complainer.  I would rather whisper that but again, if you know me, you probably didn't fall in the floor in disbelief that I just typed that.  It is hard to admit.  It is hard to tell a world (okay a few people) that read this that I complain.  How off-putting is that?  I g

FUN STUFF!!

We have had a fun couple of days! I worked on July 4th and Rachel and Daddy stayed home doing nothing...I think they enjoyed it! Saturday was pretty uneventful.....we went to Target and bought some containers so that I could put all of my clothes away that are TOO BIG!!! YAY!! It was also a sneaky way to allow my husband to see that I really don't have too many clothes!!! None of them fit! =) Sunday was church and we came back here and relaxed all day. Here is a picture of Rachel from Sunday. Rachel's dress was adorable....went to her ankles.... Brice had yesterday off too so we all went to Hawaiian Falls waterpark in Mansfield for a little water fun after Rachel's nap. It was a lot of fun except for the part where I fell down the stairs leading into the lazy river and in an attempt to keep my child's head above water (I was holding her), I tumbled down about 4 stairs, twisted my ankle, hit my knee, and scraped up the side of my leg all while swallowing a lot of water.
