{B}usy busy life.
I'm so completely exhausted. It's probably why I haven't updated in forever.
The weather was actually nice - hot and sunny like it should be for being MAY... but then yesterday mother nature went back on the rag and its been raining non stop. Which sucks because yesterday was Rebekah's wedding (Zak's sister) and we sat outside taking pictures in the little time we had when the rain stopped. Altho the rain stopped the wind certainly didn't, and it was freezing cold. I spent about an hour curling my hair and getting ready... it didn't matter. My hair was straight as a log because of that wind. Anyway - Besides getting up early, driving up to SLC for Rebekah's wedding & lunch then driving back down for class at 5 till 10pm then going to bed and getting up at 5:30 this morning and driving back to SLC for work... Ive been busy with other stuff as well, my poor neglected Journal.
'Our' Room was finally finished with carpet so we spent about a week slowly moving our stuff from the 'guest' room to our new room. It actually took a lot longer than it should've, I feel bad.
Besides that, found a preschool and working on Enrolling Riley for this Fall - He's super excited. He knows my sibs are at school all day and he gets sad and wants to go to school with them. Now he goes around telling everyone that hes going to school soon with the biggest grin on his face - its cute.
Its weird. Just the 3 of us lived in apts up until now and he was just fine. He could spend hours by himself playing, coloring, reading, watching tv... whatever. But now that we've moved and hes got 4 neighborhood kids his age, and my little siblings he plays with... he hates being alone. There was No separation anxiety either... now its rediculous... something we've just gotta work on I guess.
You know... It's super great of my parents let us live here. I think its been good for Riley, and us. I just hope we don't overstay our welcome. Yes I said we live with my parents... why would we be living with my parents? (besides the fact that rent is rediculous now)... Back in Nov/Dec I was thinking about something I've thought about for a while. Infact I even mentioned it here, 2 years ago. I've been seriously thinking about jobs and careers and Decided to do this EMT thing. But in order to do it for free (cause who doesn't like that :P ) I have to actually live in Mapleton. And since theres no apt's really here, and every house for sale STARTS AT $250k... We're living with my parents to give me residence and therefore I can qualify for their Volunteer program in which they pay for my EMT-B training. Once I'm certified I'll work for them for a year but its all on call so I can get a job at a Hospital or elsewhere. So Horray. I want to work my way up to Paramedic. The whole process from EMT-B to Intermediate to Paramedic is going to take a year or so but at least I'm on the right track.
So I started my class about 2 weeks ago and finish in July. I'm really trying to keep on track because that was my downfall last time - The only hard part is getting my 100 assessments I think. I'm slowly working on that tho.
Mothers day was a few weeks ago too. I've neglected Mothers day the past couple years I think so I bought my mom some flowers. She collects Limoges (old hand painted dishes... similar to china I think). So I got her something similar to this:
Its not a Limoge but it was similar and I thought it was super cute. They didn't put the peach flowers, but it was all pink and matched.
Zak got me a rose, and some of my favorite chocolates and a card. Earlier that day we he told me he thought Moms day was a stupid holiday and shouldn't exist but he explained his reasoning in the card.. and it was sweet. I don't have it with me atm at work but it was something along the lines of "there shouldn't be just one day a year to take the time to appreciate and love everything you do."
I think thats a full update... Oh I lost my wallet about a month ago.. thats been a pain. I was sure it was in Jons car... but alas. Its not. Sold my Diamante on Ebay for $300 - cash. Score one for Ebay and my Mom and Jill for insisting I put it there. Doubled what I was going to get from the wrecking yard.
I wasn't very excited to see Iron Man. With all the promos and pics and Ive been hearing about it for a year now... So.. I just wasn't very interested but now that I have... It was awesome and I'm in love with Robert D Jr. So it works out in the end.
I don't know if I ever mentioned it in this little journal thing but my mom told me of an idea for a website about 3 years ago...maybe 2. No It was 3 years ago or maybe more, because we were still at TimberCreek. I wasn't familiar with anything she was talking about and altho I wanted to help her I didn't feel like I could so I just kinda gave up. But not really, Ive been reading here and there about it but eventually forgot because I didn't want to go through the process of getting a domain and hosting. But for the past 6 months Ive really been reading a lot about it. It has a lot to do with Googles Adsense program, but not just adsense. Now that I'm more familiar with it and know what shes talking about now. So I decided to just go for it. We got a host and domain and now I just have to create the pages and see how it goes. I suppose it'll be a learning experience. I'm gonna take her idea and twist it a little and expand what Ive come up with. I have HTML experience, and some CSS and I guess we'll just see how it goes.
Shes gonna doe a blog thing as well on the side. She wanted to do one about her life, the stock market, exercise and government/being the mayor... stuff she has experience with. As well as her books and any future books. So this'll be fun.
