Most recent pic

Oh and this is the most recent pic of me and Conner. Our friend Josh Brickey took these for us!


My son is such a stud!

The Day to Day

I thought I would open up with a little bit about myself and where I'm at right now. I'm not much of a journal keeper and I seem to go through things in stages so I won't be surprised if in 2 weeks I get tired of posting, or even if this becomes my one and only post. However, I do feel like this is a good opportunity to keep track of what is happening in my life, cannonizing it for future reference, so that I never forget where I've come from and how God has brought me through.
Right now I'm starting my second semester of grad school where I am studying to be a clinical counselor. Wow... it's been an interesting first week. Every class I've been too they have like added more and more stuff to what I have to do. Under normal circumstances I would think "no biggie" and just tackle it because I love school, but with a 2 year old things become a little more difficult. Adding on an hour of class is a big deal because I have to find and pay a babysitter for that extra time. However, God has been so gracious to me and I have not been stuck yet without someone to care for my precious little boy while I have to go do the school thing.
So you might ask... why would you go to grad school right now if you're a single mom? Well, cause the time is right. I just graduated with my BS in psychology in 2009 and pretty much had a decision to make: 1. find a job that will bring in enough money for Conner and I to get by, or 2. go to school and pursue a career in which I will enjoy and be able to dedicate myself and support my family of two.
So anyways... that's kind of where I'm at and why right now. This blog will probably be filled with little rants, tips, recipes, and insights that I come across as I do this thing called life. My day to day stays pretty eventful so I'm sure I'll be able to keep it at least somewhat interesting.
