Getting behind...

ok, I am soooo getting behind on my blogging. I shouldn't even be blogging right now because I am at work, yes work. But I have to stay at the front desk for people coming in, so oh well. I am working nights at a beautiful Lodge in Sandpoint. Jason is working days and I work nights....we are trying to get caught up on things because our little "fixer upper" seems to need a lot more fixing up than we planned. I am also seeking an online teaching position so I can work from home and stay home with the boys. I really want to be home with them, so I opted to work nights. It hasn't been too bad, so far it has worked out where I can get some sleep and still function and get my school work done, and be a Mom at the same time. I have to say.....Heavenly Father has made me superhuman some days because there is not any other explanation of how I made it some days. If you have faith, you can move mountains right? Well, I am not THAT ambitious yet...I will leave moving mountains to someone else for now. I am in my second class now for my Doctoral program. Things have been going well, and I am so glad I decided to stay at Grand Canyon University, I love it there. I get such warm fuzzies, and I truly love my University. Jason has been working tons. When he is not at work, he is working on our home. Our boys' room is looking awesome, and I can't wait to show before and after pics. Max is staying busy and excited to start 2nd grade soon. Hopefully when we get our second vehicle, we will be able to go to the city beach more often. It has been a little difficult being a one-car family right now, but we are making it work. Once we get the driving lawnmower working, Max will have a blast mowing the lawn....he is really excited about that. Eli is doing awesome. He is getting so big and is crawling all over the place. He is such a happy kid and keeps me and Max entertained during the day. His top teeth are coming in, but he is so tough and sweet. I love my boys, they make me so happy. I have often doubted how my parents felt about me, and I never want my boys to feel that way, ever. So being a Mormon has been magnified up here. There are only two wards in the area. When I got hired on at the lodge the manager informed me I could drink as much coffee as I wanted....NICE now I will have to smell it and NOT drink it as much as I want. That's ok, hot chocolate is available as an option anyway. Our ward has a lot of nice people in it, and we have really appreciated the kindness we have been given. It has been a little frustrating, due to our lack of knowledge living the rural life. We didn't realize all the things we would need to go along with our 19 acres. Our property has been sitting for about 6 years so the grass is sooooo tall and we have been hacking away at it trying to keep up. It will be soooo nice once we get the lawnmower going and 1000 other things in order to keep up. But regardless, I like it here. I know that we are supposed to be here, it just feels like home. We will get the hang of all of this, and it will be awesome!
