First Snow!





















So we had our first snow storm of the season last Sunday! Caiden was very excited and wanted to play in it as soon as he saw it. Jayson was not a happy camper. I can appreciate his view that October is too soon for snow, but today it is sunny and 70 again, go figure. Crazy Utah weather!

I am officially halfway through the semester and let me say, it's not getting easier! I sometimes feel very overwhelmed and unintelligent, but I have to remind myself that I'll get there. We had mid-term evaluations last week and I am getting straight B's and for me, that is great! I just need to maintain them for the next 8 weeks. Crazy! I can't beleive sometimes that this is my reality. I am blessed, but very overwhelmed with what I've gotten myself into. I try to keep my chin up and I am blessed to have a lot of support.

Crazy busy!

I have been crazy busy since starting back to school on Aug 25. I am enjoying a quiet night alone thanks to my loving husband who took Caiden and went camping so I could get some major studying done. I know I should be studying instead of blogging, but I seriously don't think I can cram anything else into my brain today. I have not even looked at blogs for a whole month! I am so glad I don't have a job to add to my stress! (Thank you Jayson for letting me stay home!)
So far I am staying at the mandatory "B" average that we have to have in order to move on the our RN year, so that is something to be proud of. I am in no way an "A" student, but that's ok. Everytime I take a test and it's above 80% I give a little sigh of relief. Caiden misses me being home with him, but he does like his friends to play with. Sometimes he asks if I can come too, but I always have to tell him no. :(
We have a new roommate living with us in our basement bedroom. She loves Caiden and always spoils him with candy. She is a little girl from Vietnam who sends money home to her family. She is such a blessing for us right now because we so badly need the money for the babysitters.
I just keep having to remind myself that it will all be worth it! Only 15 months to go!!
