Boring

I feel like a total slacker for not updating my blog more, but then I try to think about what we've done recently and there hasn't been much to blog about anyways.

Our whole house has been sick for the past 2 weeks or so and most of us are still trying to get better, so that has limited our amount of hanging out and doing stuff, so I blame that.

Also, I'm an old lady and Lish reminds me of that every night when I say "Goodnight" and it's only 8:30pm-9:00pm. But honestly, I get tired soooo easily and I have no other responsibilities other than work. I have no idea how I'm gonna be with motherhood, who knows.

Our laptop is broken...AGAIN! So, even when I do get home, I can't use our laptop anyways to update our blog, which brings me to my next thing...Ryan bought a smart phone. He has been up for an upgrade for about a month now, so he got a really good deal on a Droid, only $50 bucks, so he obviously couldn't pass up that deal. So with the laptop being broken, we have still been able to read email and blogs and everything, which is nice. Since the laptop is broken, I am updating my blog at work during my lunch break. Aren't I so devoted?? haha actually my team went out to lunch together and we got back early, so I figured, what the hay, I guess I'll update my blog.

Within the past week I have been having daily reminders of how blessed and grateful I am for so many things in my life. Life is good and I can't express it enough, but sometimes things come into your life that throw you a curve ball or 20 and makes me realize that things can change within a blink of an eye. I'm so grateful for family, friends and this gospel. I've been a slacker the last few months and I realy need/will change that.

Work is hard, like, really really hard, but I am soooo grateful for having a job, even if it's hard or not, I am grateful for it and grateful for Ryan having a job too.

This could turn into a whole post about being grateful and everything, but I won't go there.

Thanks for reading, sorry for being scatter-brained.

Excited/Scared/Anxious

I've wanted to update our blog a few times within the last two weeks, but every time I would type something out, I would delete it after a few paragraphs. I don't really know why, and as I sit here writing, I can't even tell you the things that I was going to write those few times before, but then again, I guess they weren't important enough to blog about. 

 

And as I write now, I still don't know exactly what I'm trying to say. I am excited for a lot of opportunities and possibilities that are to come, maybe? There's a lot of things "up in the air" right now and I would hate to write specifically about them all because I would hate to jinx any of them. But at this point, if I find out more details about any of them or if any of them progress, then I will for sure blog about them more in detail.

Sorry if you're reading this and have no idea what I'm talking about. Oh, but for any family or friends that are wondering, NO we are not pregnant and that is not one of the things "up in the air" right now. 

 

Ryan and I are happy to be making progress on so many things right now. 2010 was filled with so many difficulties and hardships, but I am grateful for them. They say "Love doesn't pay the rent" and that's true, but it sure is helpful to have the love of your life next to you during the journey of financial hardships. If Ryan and I could make it through the past year and still love each other more than ever, then there's nothing that we can't handle. Of course there will be many more trials and difficulties throughout the rest of our lives, but I'm so grateful for the trials and blessings that we receive everyday.

One thing that isn't too specific is that we are looking into buying a home sometime this year. We're in the process of talking to Lenders and Realtors to see what's in our price range and starting to look for a home of our own. It's very exciting and scary and we have no idea how long this process may take, but that's one of the things that we're looking into right now. It's such an adult thing, buying a house, but I guess Ryan and I are growin up!
