Update!!

Hi! If you are reading this it's because you have noticed that I have actually started posting stuff again. It's only been, what, about 15 months? no big deal... :) So far it's mostly scrapbook layouts of what we have been up to, but at least it's something to keep you up to date in our lives. :) If you go back through past posts you will see things depicting our various adventures. I started back-dating a few and then realized how much that confuses everyone with seeing what's new. So go check out 2007 and I think there's a couple in early 2010, I can't remember, but from now on I will just put the dates of whatever it is in the post title. (You're welcome...)

Of course, I have a few things that I don't scrapbook, such as the fact that I have been in school since April for massage therapy! & I love it!! The human body is so amazing!! I wish I could have gone to medical school or something because it is all so cool! We talked about the possibility of doing it now, and money aside, it's just too much to ask of our family. Oh well... I have a few other things I am thinking through... I'll let you know if/when we decide to put me through more school for something exciting. For now I am focusing on massage. It's awesome. So far I have finished my first quarter and am on break until July 11th. I love being able to sleep in (sort of...) but I feel like I have too much time on my hands now without school and studying. I love hanging with the kids, but they mostly just want to play with friends, so I get to do housework. yay. so fun...  I do get to spend some quality snuggle and play time with my Coopster. I know this won't last too long so I'm enjoying it while I can... That being said... It's weird, and my kids think I am crazy, but I miss school! I'm excited to go back. I start working in the clinic on July 12th at Cortiva on Hayden and McDowell. I get to massage real people who are NOT in my class! Woohoo!! So if you are looking to get a massage, call them up and ask for me. Or not. but I would appreciate it. :) I need to log 30 hours each quarter for the next 2 quarters. It's $30 for a student massage. I'm working 3-7pm mostly Tuesdays but some Wednesdays and there's a Thursday in there somewhere. Just ask for me. They'll tell you what days I'm available. :)

For our summer we are mostly staying close to home. We have gone camping up at oak creek, and we are spending some time in Pinetop with family. We do summer movies each week, a library day each week, and we had Mandi (Adam's sister) and her family in town for a couple weeks back in June. We do have a California camping trip coming up for a couple days on the beach, but we are skipping the amusement parks this time around. I get to go to Disneyland with some of my girlfriends during Close to my Heart's annual Scrap-tastic (my word, not theirs) convention, but don't tell my kids! I got discounted tickets as part of our group discount package. :) I'm excited to have some grown up girl time with my crafty friends. I only get to do these kind of getaways about once a year, sometimes twice if I'm lucky... It's so good for us mom's to remember who we are outside of our lives as moms and wives. I love it!! If you don't have something that's yours, find something you love to do and a couple other people that like it to, then find a weekend and run away for a couple days! It makes all the difference. I can hook you up with scrapbooking/card stuff if you want... Just let me know. :)

Well... I know you are probably in shock at the fact I have posted so much in such a short time, so I will let you recuperate. Maybe I will post again soon, maybe not. It's anybody's guess. I do promise to make an attempt at being more consistent. :)  Until next time...
