Life is a highway.... and it flies by!

I don't know why I struggle keeping up with this blog.... I spend enough time on the computer, you'd think I could pop in and update once in a while! :) Sorry!

So, last time I updated,  I announced that I'd be starting my online classes. I've now made it through 2 semesters, and I'm loving every minute of it. Of course, right now i'm  only taking 1 class at a time. Having Jordyn at home all day, and Jaclynn in half day kindergarten (not to mention the killer out-of-state tuition!) I thought it would be best to take it slow and not get too overwhelmed. I have passed both classes I've taken with an A+... I've never in my life made straight A's! :) College is the best time to start I guess! Right now I'm waiting for my 3rd semester to begin. I'll be taking Intermediate Algebra. I have to admit, math and I, we have NEVER gotten along. So I had to start back at remedial algebra classes. It stinks to take 2 full semesters of math and NOT have it count towards my degree, but it is definitely a good refresher course to take! I'm just ready to get in to the "real" classes now! Let all my hard work count towards something!

My family is doing wonderful! We're still living in Missouri. Janie is now in 2nd grade, and she'll be turning 8 in a couple of weeks. She is such a character... she's is drama all the way around! LOL! We're actually hoping to get her an audition at a local theater for a play soon. She's very active and busy, and LOVES to talk (I have NO clue where she gets that from ;-) LOL!) Jaclynn is 5 1/2 and in Kindergarten. I can't even begin to describe how proud of her I am. She is so quick at learning EVERYTHING!! She's reading and writing (and her penmanship is probably better than mine!). She loves to dance and do any and every thing girly! She HATES having her hair brushed though... makes it hard to be girly with ratty hair! LOL! Jordyn just turned 3 years old... it's hard to believe that my last baby is already 3. We have been officially out of diapers for a few months now, and it has been wonderful! However, the older she gets, the more I yearn for her to be a tiny baby again. I don't think I'd want to add another baby (right now anyways... and I couldn't physically if I wanted to), but I just want to hold on to my babies as long as possible! I look forward to what their futures hold, but I am so sad for them to grow up at the same time!! Jordyn is quite the handful. I joke that she runs our household. She is very strong willed and independent. She's got a killer sad face.... anytime she gets in trouble for anything she just melts down, and it's heart breaking! She's definitely got us suckered ;-)

Jason's job is going wonderfully! He is the site manager of the Lost Creek Wind Farm here in Missouri, but we are now looking forward to our next journey with this job. We'll be moving back home to Oklahoma this coming summer, where he'll be managing 2 different sites! I can NOT WAIT to get back home, closer to friends and family!

This year holds a lot for us... new job, new house, new school and church. I'm anxious for this summer to get here! But I have to say, after all the time I spent trying not to like St Joe, I'm definitely going to miss it. I'm going to miss our church, and our school, and the relationships we've formed while being here. I'm going to miss the connection I feel to God in our church... I have never felt closer to Him than I do now. I pray our next church is just as comfortable!

Hopefully I can get better about updating on here... honestly, I guess my life just isn't interesting enough to blog daily! LOL! I'll try though :) God bless!
