Life keeps moving on...

Oh my so much as happened since April 26,2010 let us look back shall we...

1. We decided in May we wanted to move back to Washington and our house sold within 1 month within of putting it up on the market (so we moved in with pops and mom for 4 months)

2. I applied for Wenatchee Valley College (to get my residence started so I could transfer back to Central Washington College..but found out in July that you must have 6 prior credits for Financial Aid so we were back to square one and let me tell you I felt like my world was crashing down around me.

3. Never thought I would EVER in a million years move to Queen Creek but yet here were 3 months later and actually liking it. I miss being right next to the US 60 and the 202 south but hey everything happens for a purpose. Moved out of pops and mom and into a cute apartment complex which I am loving! (my little brother and my sister-in-law live on the other side of the complex so its fun to be in the same ward!)

4. Signed back up at Chandler-Gilbert (I know lol) to get my 6 credits for financial aid for next semester (January--which I looking back to going to school full-time!) Getting my certificate in Forensic Science and getting my Biology degree to work in the field of Serology (DNA) or being on the scene as a blood splatter analyst sounds gross I know lol but I have already been interested in it. I haven't really decided quite yet if I want to be in the field or behind the desk at a lab I guess we will see as it gets closer to graduation.

Life is a bit tough but this is a part of the plan right God knows how much we can handle without breaking...I have my days but who doesn't right. I just count my blessing that I have Jim and my health and of course our two cute kitties Cricket and Lucy

So there you have it folks I have caught you up on the life of April :-)

62 candles and counting

Every month on a certain Sunday that fits everyone's schedules (or at least the majority of us) we have combined birthday dinners--Sunday April 26th was mine and Amber's--David thought it would be funny to put our combined ages for the candles--he put 68 totally (suppose to be 62 but that's okay)--We all have a good laugh at the small ice cream cake that was holding a small fire!!

A Black Kitty & Spring Training

I'm alive hehe--not posting much these days as you can find me more on facebook for the moment

I can't believe how fast this year is going its almost the middle of march!!

So a little catching up--

We added a new kitty to the family a Bombay female by the name of Cricket (7 months old she and Lucy both got fixed before we bought them from Bunny Rescue)--She literally jumps around like a cricket its cracks me up but she is as sweet as they come always purring and loves to be petted--She and Lucy tend to get along they haven't decided yet who is in charge. Every morning they patiently wait for me to open the bedroom door to let them in (laying side by side) but at night they like to chase each other around the house. Even though Lucy is bigger, Miss Cricket holds her own and chases back.

On Valentine's Day poor Lucy got VERY sick we were REALLY worried about her. We spent 4 hours (sobbed like a baby) at the pet emergency and found out she had a virus like a cold but much worse for cats--she hated the medications we had to give her every four hours it literally felt like taking care of a newborn since one of the medications had to be given at midnight! We are happy to say that she is back to her old loving self (never fails when I am lying on my back she climbs up and lays on my chest-her favorite spot)

Yesterday (March 10th) Me, Jim, David (brother) & Krista (his wife) got to go the Spring Training game for the Cubbies--they played San Fransisco Giants--the Cubs lost but it was a beautiful day and there were about 10,000 people cheering on the teams! We had a blast and I am itching to go to another game!!
So I guess that's all for now


Many Hugs
-April

Life is good

I FINALLY picked up our tickets for the midnight showing of New Moon (I bought them they day they went up for sale in Sept hehe-i know total nerd). I tried to talk my mom into going with Jim and myself (midnight) but we are going the next day and having a girls day out!-she is just as excited as I am (I absolutely ADORE her) I know that the next part really doesn't go with the blog entry since I really haven't had much to blog about but a here few things that have been taking place...life is treating us well we have our struggles but who doesn't right. I live in the present look forward to what the future has in store. I had the opportunity to watch my nephews (including baby boo) for the night and take them to soccer practices and loved it but was happy to crawl into my own bed that night. Jim's game (Alganon) comes out December 1st so we are VERY excited out about. October was a good month (even being sick on Halloween) as I got reconnected with my brother Benji (currently serving a mission in Canada) and I can't wait to see him when he gets home (Its amazing how the Lord works) I hope the next year flies by.

Hope everyone has a FANTASTIC Thanksgiving- I have lots to be thankful for this year
