So it has been way too long since last posting in this darn thing! I had completely and totally forgot about it until the other day when I saw Michelle has updated hers after getting engaged!! So today since I had the day off and I have news to share I thought I would post something new on here.
First of all since the last time I have posted I finished another semester at college in a new apartment and all new roommates. I learned after the first semester that part of my OCD and being always grossed out was the apartment itself because even when I had just cleaned I still felt like the place was gross. My own fault that I am so picky but sometimes you have to learn new things. So I moved to the IVY and it was a good experience living there but I don't plan on living there again. The only reason why I say that is that it is not realistic living at all. I felt like I was in a hotel as I walked the halls or around the building. I know that I will not have that nice of a place as I start my life outside of my mom's home so I want to live in more realistic places for when I do graduate and move to a more permanent place. I loved my roommates in the IVY though, it took some getting used to of course but I learned that happens with all places. I also had the best FHE family a person could ask for. Of course it was awesome just because of the girls in our apartment but the guys were pretty cool too! ;)
Now being back home for the past two months I just work most of the time. I nanny for an awesome little boy, Wesley, he is four years old and smarter than I feel he should be! haha I can't even keep up with him sometimes because he asks so many good questions! He also knows how to manipulate me pretty well, not a good thing but it gives me some good stories to tell and keeps me laughing. I get to teach him all about math basics, reading, writing, art projects and hopefully much more as I go full time in November.
Along with being a nanny I work part-time at Payless again. I must say as much pain and annoyances that place gives me I just can't seem to quit. I love the people who work there and getting to socialize while working. Because lets face it, most of my socializing is with a 4 year old during the day. Plus its not the worst thing getting to be surrounded by shoes all day.
As far as my family goes my mom had surgery on her hand because of work. She is doing good now and just getting back to the routine of work, cooking, cleaning and the rest of her long list she maintains. (I swear she is crazy but she is still awesome.) My oldest sister Alysha has been married for almost 7 months now and is pregnant with a bouncing little boy. She is so happy to be adding to her family and I am not complaining a bit about it! Little Zeke will be here in January to join the crew, but I hate knowing that I will be back in Idaho when he comes and I won't be able to go down and spend some time with them. I plan on going down as soon as I can though and maybe spending time after I get done with my school year down in Phoenix. My other sister Melanie is doing good still living in Seattle and working two jobs. It sounds like she is doing pretty good and her apartment is pretty cool I must say.
I love being back home in some ways because I get to spend time with my family and experience the pre-college living again, without cooking for myself, cleaning as often or homework, but I do miss school a lot as well. A couple things I don't miss about school though is the lack of children I get to play with! At home there is a ward full of adorable kids that I get to see in primary, my favorite kids (Naama, Hussein, Touli and Ali), as well as kids of friends ( Chloe and Alex). Another thing I don't miss is the lack of rain. Although it hasn't rained a ton since being home, actually it only rained one day I believe, the last two days it has been nothing but rain and it is so refreshing and beautiful outside.
All in all, I am just living my life the best I know how. Saving money for college, trying to entertain myself at home, patiently waiting for my nephew to come to the outside world, enjoying spending time with family and friends and counting down the days until I go back to school.
P.S. I am also feeling a little accomplished for actually writing in my blog for once... I'm sure it will be short lived haha
