Back with Determination...

I haven't blogged in awhile. It's been so long, that I feel overwhelmed with all the things that have not been documented in our lives. I guess my lack of blogging is symbolic of my life right now. We had so many great back-to-back vacations this summer, however, I am left feeling completely disconnected from my life. It feels really great to be home, to have a schedule/routine, to attend my ward, to teach the Beehives, and to reconnect with people that I love. Vacationing is great, but so is everyday life. Here is my attempt to catch up on blogging. I have about six posts that I plan to do, so I'll get them done as fast as I can.

Here are some general updates:

Laura:

I am pleased to announce that I will no longer be working 30 hours/week. I have cut back and will just be working Wednesdays now!!! Hooray!!!! I know that financially speaking, we could really use the money, but I feel very peaceful about my decision to stay home more. I feel like it's time for me to focus on Lucy more. I am still teaching the Beehives in my ward and absolutely loving it.

Jordan:

Jordan is in his last semester of graduate school at Weber State. This semester he is taking six

upper level Accounting/MBA classes. He is at the school Monday-Thursday from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Once he graduates in December, he will begin working for a regional accounting firm--Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell--in January. We will finally move out of my parent's house in January.

Lucy:

Lucy is definitely a two-year-old. :) She has such a desire to learn and understand the world around her. She speaks in 5-6 word sentences, and makes sure that her needs are met. She is completely infatuated with ANYTHING elephant aka "Dumbo" right now. She wants to read "Dumbo books", watch "Dumbo movies", and sing "Dumbo songs".

Now get ready for a serious blogging marathon...
