I found you!

I cant sleep for some reason lately so... I have been searching for people. If I know you, or have met you, or just are curious what your up to, I put you on my list. ok?

A fun night.

My friend Bethany Dimick teaches music, dance and acting to kids and teenagers at her parents studio Hollywood Kids. Last night was her teenage group, Ovation's, show which was a tribute to Hollywood Movies. They did a wide selection of musical numbers and acted out scenes from movies. I wasn't sure what to expect when I went last night, I knew she taught classes to kids of all ages, and I knew she was talented, but I was not not ready for what I experienced. These kids were ages 14-17 (high school) and had more talent in their pinkie finger than I would know what to do with at that age. My favorite group number was a scene from Chicago, with the song "They both reached for the gun" (not sure if that's the correct title). It was all acted out so well, I felt like I was actually watching a Broadway show. I laughed, cried, and got goosebumps many times throughout the whole show. I was so proud of her by the end of the show I was speechless. She asked me how I liked it and I felt so overwhelmed with awe I just started to cry. I have never accomplished anything like that in my life. It really gave me a new perspective of what people are capable of even at our age. I guess I just assumed that things like that came along at a different time in our lives, like in our twenties we aren't ready or able to accomplish our dreams. I know she will do some really amazing things in her lifetime, and I truly hope I get to experience them with her.

Hi.

I don't have much to say, just hi. And I hope you're all doing well. We're busy, busy right now, and it's been a hard couple months for us. I hope we pull out of this crappy situation. (For those of you who don't know- here's a quick run down. Josh lost his job a few+ months ago and had to go back to school full time so he could have a career that will someday send our kids to college, so I'm working and trying to find another job so we can pay the bills and hopefully get health insurance... which is not working. I hate talking about it, but I'm feeling extremely overwhelmed today and needed to vent.) We love all of you, and want you all to know. We also appreciate all that any of you have done for us, thank you!

Look! Two days in a row!

Today was a weird day... I woke up this morning and felt really weird and nauseous so I stayed home fom church and climbed back in bed. I woke up what felt like a few minutes later to find out it was almost 1 o'clock in the afternoon! I never sleep like that but it felt nice. Then I had a day with the kids, which was a nice end to my weekend because I start work nice and early tomorrow morning. I actually got to spend quite a bit of time with my kids this week while Josh was in Seattle which was so much fun. They are both getting so big it makes me so sad. We watched alot of movies (Everett's favorites of course) and played outside cause it was so nice!
Today was their cousin Cooper's birthday and we went over and spent the evening with the Andersons and had dinner. And that was our weekend. I bet you all understand why I don't write much- not very interesting.

Um, yeah I know.

I have realized why I hate blogging so much, and it isn't the actual blogging I guess. My page is ugly and I'm too stupid to figure out how to make it cute (no joke), so I guess I avoid it because then i would have to do something about it... but I don't know how! I know it sounds absolutley ridiculous but it's true. So if anyone out there knows a simple, idiot proof way to make my blog page cute, please please let me know how!

Happy Holidays

We are so excited for Thanksgiving. It is my husband's favorite holiday... for the food of course. I like it because it feels like the official beginning of the Christmas season. And it's a little time off to spend with our families. We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy the rest of your year!!
