There has been lots of things going on in my life lately. For starters, I'm trying to change my lifestyle and eat healthier by using Weight Watchers. Its going great. I'm two and a half weeks into it and have lost six pounds and 2.5 inches. Very exciting. I'd like to feel confident with my body again before I go back to school; makes you feel like you have more control I suppose.
Speaking of school... I'm anxiously awaiting a letter from SCC to find out whether or not I will be accepted into the Nursing Program for Spring Quarter 2010. I've been on the waiting list for almost a year now, but rumor has it that the wait is up to 1.5 years. So, it may turn out that I won't get in until Fall 2010. If that happens, I will enjoy the summer with my boys! If I do start school this Spring, it'll be very exciting and definitely a new chapter in my life.
Not to be boring talking about the weather... but I must say thatthis Winter season is quite notable. We've had almost ZERO snow accumulation. I'm not complaining one bit. It's the middle of January and it was 55 degrees today. Amazingly warm and inviting and I LOVE it. I cannot wait until Spring and Summer so that we can take our family camping, BBQ in the backyard, go swimming, go for evening walks, ride our bikes, etc. You get the picture. I love being outside with the kids when its warm.
My KIDS are also amazing right now. I'm so proud of Channing. He's been potty training for about two weeks now and he is doing superb. Very little accidents during the day. He is doing both ends of his business in the toilet. I give him little reminders throughout the day, we carry our portable potty with us where ever we go, and I reward him with M&M's when he does a good job. M&M's are also helping him learn his colors! Channing's vocabulary has also exploded which is super exciting minus the few bad words he's caught onto while listening to his Dad during the Zag's games.... oops!! All in all he is a happy, healthy, growing little boy!
Micah is also doing amazing. He is 4.5 months and is just an absolute sweetie. He's a lot different than Channing. Very calm, very smiley, happy, and mostly quiet. The only time I have trouble with Micah is when he's tired and NOT snuggled right into mama's chest. He's overly attached... but I don't mind for now :) We recently just set up the bouncy horse for him and he loves it. He'll sit and bounce and bounce and bounce and smile and bounce some more.
Amanh is doing great at work. It was nice having him home throughout the holidays (one and one half weeks off) and I think he's happy to be back at work now. Most men don't realize how difficult it is to stay home and take care of house and family. Thank goodness he appreciates what I do. I love him.
With recent tragedies in the world such as the massive earthquake in Haiti, I'm reminded how blessed I am to have my family. Thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ for all that I have both spiritually and temporally.
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death. Amen.

I'm with you on the weather! I stepped outside a few mornings ago, the sun was shining, the birds were singing, I think I saw a weed coming up! So, I went back in real fast, I am loving this weather but the thought of doing yard work in January, eewww! Best of luck to you on getting into the SCC nursing program :) I hope you get your letter soon!
