I'm In School!

Well since it's been a little while since I updated I'll do it now while the girls are sleeping and the house is nicely quiet!
A few new things are happening around here, I suppose.
For one, I have officially restarted attending college! Wow! And honestly, I'm LOVING IT!!
At first I was kinda scared because it'd been so many years since I've gone but now that I'm in it and going along it's been great!
I'm meeting new people, interacting with other adults (it's WEIRD and different! haha j/k!), and finding that I'm an old fart compared to so many that are there. Though, what's kinda cool and makes me feel good and kinda stupid at the same time is that everyone thinks I'm younger than I am. It's funny. Even with all this extra weight on me I still look younger than my age. I'm 31 and they think I'm in my early to mid twenties. I can't complain about that now can I? Well, okay I can because sometimes I'm treated like I'm stupid, but oh well! At least I'm not treated like an old fogie!! haha just kidding!

I'm taking intro to Theatre and intro to Criminal Justice and an Institute class called The Gospel & the Productive Life. So far they're all really great and fun classes. I sincerely believe that taking Institute throughout college is a MUST. It really helps in so many important ways with school and with my personal life and testimony. If you don't keep up with the little things that help nourish your Testimony YOU WILL LOSE IT. (no-brainer, frankly).

I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to get everything done for my classes with Tyler gone. I'm gonna have to find people who I trust who can babysit for the plays I have to go to and be in and the nights when I need to study and write papers. But we'll see. I'm sure I'll manage.

We sold a car Glenn was charitable enough to give to us. We didn't make much. We almost gave it away it was so cheap! lol
We're also trying to sell our truck. Only 97,000 miles, 1990, extended cab Ford Lariat, 8ft bed 3/4 ton, F250. It's an AWESOME truck. Doesn't give us any grief at all! The driver side window is busted out but it only needs the glass. Everything else works great. Oh the AC needs to be recharged, but that's it! It's a steal of a deal! We've had lots of people calling on it. One person saw it already and said it was too big for them but he loved it nonetheless. We're only asking 1500.00!! Okay enough trying to sell my truck here LOL. Anyway, we're going to sell it because we don't need it anymore since Tyler's going away to the Army and I need a cheaper car to drive all over the place that's reliable and safe for the girls and me. We'd like a Honda or Geo but CANNOT go over 800.00-1000.00. That's TOPS. We just don't have the money. We have to sell the truck in order to buy the car, ya know?

Okay, what else....

Oh, I have another new niece!! Ashlynn Paige Pearson. She's so adorable!!! She has TONZZZZ of thick, dark hair and light eyes. She looks a lot like Alicia. Maddison, her big sister, looks a lot like Erik. I'm so happy for them to have a new baby. New babies are so special! They bring such strong, special spirits with them and it changes the entire atmosphere of a place. Why people kill their babies before and after birth I will NEVER be able to even comprehend. Sorry, had to throw that in there :(.
I especially don't understand them because we haven't been able to have more babies. We've been trying for years now with no success. And now with Tyler being gone, well, the chances of becoming pregnant any time soon are quite low :(.

Anyway, sorry my blogs are so long. I know most people don't read them all, but oh well. They're missin' out! lol j/k!

Wish us luck with everything! We need it!! :)

Moving! AGAIN! And a much needed update!

So, we're moving!! AGAIN!! We moved here only 5 months ago and we're out again! Well, it's getting closer to 6 months, I think.

We finally started to get to know a few people in the ward, too! And the girls do and don't want to move. They WANT to move because we have a major bug problem here and they DON'T want to move cuz they made good friends that are a couple of Mexican girls (illegal aliens, but they're really nice people).

They might be moving back to Mexico soon, but if not they wanted us to let them know of any apartments where we are moving to. I will, for sure, let them know if there are any. Rentals are super hot right now, though. It took us these 5 months to find this place! Everyone does credit checks now and since ours is CRAP we didn't qualify for anything!

The place we're moving to is in Orem, again, and it's a townhome style apartment. I like it a lot and so does Tyler. It has new flooring throughout and has brown wood paneling! lol It's hilarious but we kinda like it. hahaha we're weird!

Tyler is also back in school. YEA!!!!! He's going to Stephen's Henegar in Orem and is doing AWESOMELY AMAZING! All A's so far! I'm sooooo excited for him! Hip hip hooray! He's majoring in something to do with Medical lol. He's taken the complete initiative this time. It's great!

I applied to work at A to Z Building Blocks in AF and I hear tomorrow if I get it or not... sorda. She will schedule an interview with me tomorrow first. So the girls will go there for free for preschool & daycare and I'll work while with them! yea! I hope it works out good. If not I'll look for another daycare/preschool job or a night job. But I HAVE to work. We're just not making it on Tyler's income alone, and my part-time income from acting/modeling. We have way too much debt! It's mostly all medical, then our car, then just loans and a couple credit cards we used to LIVE with.

I am sooo sad! We are selling our washer & dryer! They're SUPER nice and we have LOVED them! Fridgadaire front-load, black. So perfect! We aren't making back all our money, but we're making okay. We'll pay back our parents next week and pay off my credit card, or most of it anyway. We are also selling like everything else! argh. Being poor really blows! We might be selling our table & chairs, too. It's all very hard. But we have to!

Oh, I've been on TV a few times now, and in a few movies, and modeled a few times now. I'm having loads of fun doing that! I make pretty decent money doing that, but the jobs are far between, okay not TOO bad, but not enough. Especially since I'm getting fatter & fatter all the time!! It makes everything harder with weight-gain!

Oh, and my health. I have thyroid disease and had to up the prescription cuz my thyroid was going all bad on me. I also have really bad acid reflux and had to get a higher prescription on that, too. I found out that I do have depression and P.T.S.D. and anxiety and a little bit of paranoia. Nothing, from what the doc can tell, was from what I was born with but I got thanks to my upbringing and some traumatic experiences I've had throughout my lifetime.

Oh, and GoYin? Well, I still stand by that product 100%! Just cannot afford it right now and I seriously HATE making phone calls at all! So we had to pause that. I hope to get back into it someday... but for now I just can't. We have too many other things going on that are more important.

Okay my hands are getting tired from typing. I'm not sure why, but they just are! So cha cha for now! ttyl :)
