Okay, so as Jess so lovingly pointed out a new post is way past due. This is a true test of friendship...be patient with me. I have no clue what I'm doing and instead of noodling through it I am totally intimidated by this whole blogging world. I LOVE to look at friends' blogs and even leave comments but they all look so good and have so many cool things on them that I wimp out. Which brings me to another point, one of my resolutions, or maybe I should say goals, for this new year is to stop being so intimidated or overwhelmed by new things and just jump. LEARN it, DO it! Chris loves to tease me that I have a hard time learning new things because I'm not immediately good at them, hence the words, "new things." Yeah, he's right. I need to get over it already! I have lots to learn this year. How to blog, how to take great pictures like Kristen, how to knit (yes, my husband knits), and among other things, how to live off of student loans and grants with 3 kids while your husband goes to school to become a commercial airline pilot! I know lots of you have experience with this stuff so please feel free to share your secrets with us. It seems like there IS a right and a wrong way to go about the process but no one can tell us what that is. While filling out all the financial aid forms I had the mental image of our family traveling down the yellow brick road on our way to see the Wizard of Oz to ask for money! Weird. (hallucination quite possibly caused by the baby not sleeping). Thank goodness for wonderful husbands who hold the priesthood! We're not sleeping much these days but we are praying a lot. Trying to figure out which direction He would have us go at this unsettled time in our lives. I'm so grateful for Chris and his great faith in the Lord's plan for us and that things will work out the way they're supposed to. The pilot may sound a bit random but it's something that he's always dreamed about! He lights up like our girls do on Christmas morning when he talks about becoming a pilot. I'm so excited for him to have finally found what he really wants to do when he grows up. Not that I believe we'll ever really grow up! Hah!
