Last Semester at BYU-I

I've now completed one full week of my last semester of college at BYU-Idaho. I am Very excited about that!! However, I really do loving learning, so I will probably be a little sad when I can actually say I am done, but, at least I will be able to say that I finished my Bachelor's degree, which definitely has been a LONG time in the making!! I've gotten married, had a child, gone part-time, moved 5 times, and will have one more child by the time I will be done, so a lot has gone on, but alas, I can close this door and will be able to focus more on my family and raising my two wonderful children!!

So far I really enjoy my classes. I am taking a family nursing skills class which is 4 credits, and thought it would be my hardest class, but it seems like the teacher is pretty easy going and as long as I come to class and turn in my portfolio at the end of the semester, I have nothing to worry about. I love learning about health science anything and have loved everyone of my health sciences classes, and if time and money weren't an issue, I'd love to continue school to get a degree in nursing, or medicine of some sort, but who knows...maybe one day I will??

I also can't wait to reunite with my beautiful Alexa tomorrow (Wednesday)! She has been in Texas for the last 10 days while I came up to Idaho to get settled in and start school. I really do miss her sweet spirit and can't wait to see her smiling face!

Lastly, our baby boy, (still no name yet, but we are narrowing it down!) has been moving, as always, like crazy! I never have to worry if he is still doing okay because I am constantly feeling him wiggle around. Soon enough he wont have much wiggle room so hopefully it will settle down. Alexa also loves to kiss baby brudder, and is very concerned that he gets a pacifier and bottle so he can eat. She will even bring him a toy to share with him and just place it near my belly...I know she is going to be a WONDERFUL big sister!!

Four Years Together 4-7-11

April 7th was Pat and my 4 year anniversary. We both worked that day, so we just waited until the next day, Friday, to do our celebrating. So Friday, neither of us had to work so the morning was pretty chill, then around lunch time we took Alexa out to eat at Chick Fil A just cuz, then my mom took her home for a nap. Then we whisked away to Galveston Bay, about a 40 minute drive, where we waited for our dolphin watching boat ride, which was SOOO cool! We did see some dolphins swimming right next to another boat that passed us which was pretty cool. I couldnt get any pictures as they were too quick or too far to get a picture. Then Pat and I drove back to League City and ate at Cheddar's. So yummy! We got the monte cristo, and it was awesome! Then we went to stay at the Stay Bridge Hotel right behind Pat's work, and spent the night in a SUPER comfy KING size bed with no child to have to tend to, which was a really nice break for us! (Now that we've had the chance, we Love living close to family!!!) The next morning was nice to sleep in and take our time eating at the awesome breakfast buffet! I even had a Texas shaped waffle! :o) We had a really good anniversary and can't wait for next year's!!!
