Another post just b/c I can & I miss it!

So I posted about Betho's shower but I really miss blogging and actually have some free time tonight so I am going to blog some more! I could actually be doing 1,000 things like school work or cleaning the kitchen but It will get done eventually!

I really don't have much to report on school. I just finished my first round of test. I didn't do amazing but I didn't do terrible either & I am just relieved they are over! We are at mid term now and that mean I am 1/8th finished with grad school! YAY! I have been learning a lot about how Speech Pathologists can work in the NICU and lots of other settings and I am really starting to get excited about actually doing this job as a career and not just seeing Speech Pathology as classes and lectures! I have had the chance to work with a lot of clients and it has been really rewarding already.

We are pretty used to Lubbock now. I can almost get anywhere and that is nice. It is a super easy town to get around in and I fill up on gas WAY less! We live right next door to a super walmart and that is amazing! I am just not organized enough to get all my grocery shopping done in one trip so it is nice to have a walmart next door for those items I forget! Which is a lot...always! We also have a chicken express right across the street. I would love to say I am one of those girls that has never eaten that and never will but then I would be TOTALLY lying. In college I would allow myself to eat it 2 or 3 times a semester but the fact that I am stressed out a lot & those delicious chicken fingers and biscuits are just across the street is dangerous. They don't have those in Houston so the temptation was eliminated but now it is back! I cannot even imagine the calories in that meal.

We still haven't found a church but have liked a lot that we have looked at. It is super hard to find a church and Lance and I tend to lean in a little bit different directions when it comes to what we like in a church. I mean we both believe in the same thing but when it comes to the worship style we are a little different so we are trying to find a place that we are both happy with. However, we have been praying about it so I'm sure it is only a matter of time before God will show us the way. Along the lines of church, I was driving to school today and that song "I Know My Redeemer Lives" came on and I am not kidding I burst into tears. I LOVE that song and I swear hearing that right before I began my school day changed my day. I was so happy all day!

Lance is doing great in school too! I am so glad he is getting this degree and can't wait for him to have a job he loves! He is an extra good husband lately and has been making my life so easy. He even made tacos and cookies last night for dinner. We are nearing our year and a 1/2 anniversary and I can't believe it has already been that long!

I will leave you with the top 10 things on my mind right now.....

1. I am loving "John & Kate plus 8" No kidding it has made me want to have 5 kids.
2. I am super creeped out in the amount of twisted creepy movies coming out lately. I don't like it at all.
3. I am so happy that it feels like fall here. It never went above 70 today.
4. I just learned a little fashion tip that I love. It is that you should always wear three pieces. Like a cardigan, belt or scarf with your outfit. I love it and have been sporting cardigans for the first time in my life!
5. I haven't had time to cook yummy meals and it makes me sad. I feel like Lance and I eat bad food lately and I hate that!
6. Being in Houston this weekend made me realize how much I miss it and how much I miss teaching. I saw my kids this weekend and hung out in Lance & my old neighborhood and it was super sad!!
7. Having TONS of kids someday has really been on my mind lately. I don't want kids for a good 2-3 more years but for the first time in my life I really think I want like 4 kids.
8. I am really excited about Betho's wedding....it is really starting to seem like a reality.
9. I have noticed I have really bad test anxiety and am desperately trying to figure out how to chill out!
10. I want Jamie to have her baby and can't wait to meet Josiah. I also can't wait for Roxanne & Brian to find out if they are having a girl or a boy!

Ok that's all for now....I have a lot of paperwork to do and I can't put it off anymore!
