The Mtns. are becoming Hills.

So, I am here...finally!!! After more than 29 hrs. of driving, a lot of caffeine (in my fave. form Mt. Dew) and phone calls later, I made it to IDAHO!!! I am happy to be here.... I am sorry to all of you that I haven't seen yet, life has been crazy, and so has the weather.
The bumps with Nate are smoothing out, and we are getting into a routine. Things are going well. Nate met my mom last night, so i am not sure how that went, but I think it was good. Ask her how she felt about him. We are planning to go back up to Rigby for New Years, and have fun with family there. I am still trying to organize and "nest" as my mom calls it.
I am going back to school, and have signed up for 4 classes. An English class, a Spanish 1 class, Physics, and an appreciation and history of Photography. I figure I should take all the fun classes that I didn't get to take in college.
Thanks for not commenting, and letting me vent, in my last blog. I also think it is because of the time of year, and if your lives are as crazy as mine, there is no explanation needed.... I love you all and hope that the new year brings you all closer together.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Why are there always bumps in the road???

I want to know why are there always bumps in my road? I wish sometimes when I am climbing this mountain that is life, and I choose to make changes, that my road would be smooth, just for a bit, until I can get my bearings.
But unfortunately, God has a different plan for me. So, Tues. Nate and I had a pretty serious discussion....and things are getting good, but they are not back to the way that they were when I was in Idaho. I guess that some of it is on me, but when he asked me to be honest, I was! and I am sad to say that I hurt him....I am trying to make up for it but it is really hard when I can feel that he is pulling away. I guess that we will see how things work out when I move there. I still feel good about that decision, much to the sadness of my friends here in Texas. I got a blessing on Wend, after pouring my heart out to my parents, who always have good advise, and to the Lord, who always blesses me even though I don't always deserve it.
I thought that I had figured out how to heal the rift that I caused, but I was told today that Nate is still reserved. I am trying to figure out what to do to help us, but I am coming up short. I really am just writing this to vent a little, so there are no comments needed, and I know that the Lord is in charge, so what ever comes of this little rift, is what is best for everyone. I hope that things get better, and I know that Nate still loves me, and right now, that is all I need.

The Only thing Constant is CHANGE!

My life is about to change AGAIN! This time t is for the best, and I am very excited!!! After crying my eyes out about leaving Idaho and Nate, and my family, and much fasting and prayer... I decided to move to Idaho?!?!?!???!!!! I am going to go back to school, and keep my teaching certificate current, and to see what I have to do to get certified in Elementary Ed. So, this week amongst packing, talking to Nate, making travel plans, getting rid of almost EVERYTHING, working two jobs, saying good-bye to good friends, and trying to keep my sanity, I get to test kids all week, and register for classes.... (what was I thinking?)
On the plus side, my mom is brilliant, and told me to take a picture of the things that I want to keep the memory of, but don't want to keep the actual item...and today (bonus of all bonuses... I got to watch 2 count them 1, 2, kids PUKE in font of me!!!! DOUBLE YUCK!!!!) So the last day of work here for me is the 16th, and I leave Texas on the 17th after my exit inspection. So, if i don't write or read in a while, you will know why. If you must know, I have a place to live, and a really good reason to move to Idaho. (Nate being the big reason, but going back to school is the logical reason.) BTW, he and I are 98% positive that things will work out, but we want time to date and get to know each other. Happy reading, Marry Christmas, and I will try to write later.
