I Passed!

I took my real estate license exam today. I wanted to take a test to just get me ready to know what I should focus studying on. To my surprise, i passed! First try!! I can't even tell you the excitement, pride, and shock I felt all at once. I called to tell Dustin and just broke out in tears. Our life has been crazy as I have been taking courses online and studying. I didn't know if it was all worth it. But, it was! It really was. I can do hard things!!

Snapshots of February

I had quite a few pictures that I loved from this month. All having a little sentimental value, life lesson, or just being super cute. I just want to remember them for forever.

1) Britten is getting so big! He's 5 now, but he's starting to mature and be ready for school. He is learning what it means to choose the right, and understand he needs to! He loves army guys right now and my living room is a constant war zone! He and Becca have this love hate relationship. they fight like siblings, but they love being together!

2) We got a couple snapshots from Elder Merritt. He sent us Happy Valenine's greeting from the beach. And the other I know was just for me. he know's I like different photos. Here he is finishing up a hard day of proselyting.

 

 

 

3) I made dessert for my sister's invite to Sunday dinner. I forgot to grease the bundt pan.  I think most would've chosen to not take the cake, but I did. I messed up, but it was still good. It is a perfect representation of my life right now. A little messy and ugly, but still good!

 

 

4) Life is currently hard for me. I'm trying to figure out this working full time thing. And learning what I need to know all at the same time! It's been a stretching experience for sure. But, I'm grateful for each new day, when it begins and ends, and that I have another one to live and learn- even when it's snowy!

Last Day of Daycare and New Adventure For Me

I started a new job on February 15th. I am going to be a hostess for Perry Homes Utah. Basically, I sit in the model and give out information on homes and let them tour the model. Because I'm not a real estate agent, I'm not allowed to give prices or anything like that. I am, however, in the process of getting my license. I decided that I wanted to to pursue this career last summer. I started taking classes, and now I'm almost done and ready to take my exam. I talked to Jeff about working for Perry. he was all for it. I'm grateful for the hook-up!

I still work at the daycare every now and then until they can find a new teacher for the preschool class. I have mixed emotions. I'm excited to start something new, but I will miss these kids. Britten has known them since they were all little. He's really sad to not be coming back...

I'm excited to be able to be home with him and take him out of an environment that he struggled in a lot of days. He loved it, but he sure was naughty!! 

So here's to new beginnings and a new adventure!! I'm scared to death!!!

She Popped Her Kneecap

 With having 6 kids, you would think I would have more headlines like this. Becca was dancing in her room last night-she was supposed to be cleaning- and we heard the most horrifying screams from the basement. We got down there, and Becca's kneecap was on the side of her knee. Poor girl was in the most pain I'd seen in any of my kids! We were loading her in the car and she said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I was dancing instead of cleaning." I wanted to cry for her! 1)Why would she be worried about that? 2)Some lessons are learned the hard way. They got her to the hospital and popped it back into place. Dustin said it was worse that the scream when she fell! She wanted to go to school the following day, but we told her she needed to rest. If you know Becca, she's always ready to conquer something. She'll have to do it in a brace the next three weeks!!!
