I promise I am going to start doing this more often.

Well hello everyone. I am finally almost better!! I am still coughing a little, it's finally starting to all break up. I am been so sore, but it is starting to get better. I have a lot to update about. But I was just feeling so lazy for so long. I got so much done today though! All of the laundry, some calls I needed to make....sometimes you just need to get all your ducks in a row to get un-stressed. I just got so behind with everything when I was sick, but I feel so much more energized now.

Work is going pretty well. I really enjoy the people that I work with, and the residents are so cute and funny sometimes. Old people can be pretty hilarious, and it's awesome when you create a bond with someone like that, and they depend on you. As much as I like working there, I have been really just not content lately.

I keep praying that God will help me be content in every area of my life. I am so thankful just to even have a job, and a steady income, it just isn't what I want to do for the rest of my life. But it is so easy to be jealous of what others have etc. I think I have finally come to a point where I am content. We are so blessed to have our house, our family, our friends. I am constantly reminding myself this. We are so blessed!

Me and Chris have been working on our relationship lately, and trying different things so that we can become more engaged with eachother. It's so easy just to become comfortable with doing your own thing. Sometimes we just have to force ourselves to be together and talk and do different things to keep things exciting. I think we have been doing a pretty good job the past couple days and things are going really well. He even bought me flowers and a card, they are so pretty. And the card is pretty cute, he always finds the funniest cards. There is a little dog on the front and it says: "You make my tail wag so much....." And on the inside it says: "my butt hurts..." haha! So cute.

Ok, so yeah...my sister is DEFINATELY pregnant with twins!!!!!!! AHH! This is so exciting. I am so happy for them, it's so amazing and such a miracle. A huge blessing from God. Anything you wanna call it, it's amazing! I wish they lived closer, I feel like I am missing out on everything and I hate that. I have only seen my little nephew a couple times since he was born in March and he is already getting so big!! Please just pray for my sister that everything continues to go well and she has a healthy pregnancy. I totally think she is having girls, or atleast one girl. That would be sweet if she had one girl and one boy. But definately atleast one girl, I just have a feeling about it. I had a feeling with Sam and I was right about that one!

So I have also discovered lately that I really enjoy doing puzzles. The residents at work are always doing them and they always want us to help them, I love doing it! There was this really cool one on a table in the living room there. It was this cute little fall scene with pumpkins and scarecrows, and well, it was kinda hard so the residents weren't really working on it. And since I love fall and all, I kept working on it during my breaks and when we weren't busy and then I ended up finishing the other night. I know, I am a nerd, but I was excited to finish it, I felt a sort of sense of accomplishment, haha. But it's somewhat relaxing, and so Chris came to the dollar store with me yesterday and I bought two new puzzles. I took one to work to work on it there with people and then one for at home. I guess I find it somewhat relaxing.

I just took a little break for a sec to make some lunch because I need to go to work soon. I have been craving chicken lately but I can never make it as good as Chris can so he just told me his little secret, but anyways, my point is that Chris always tells me how good our microwave makes baked potatoes so I got the idea to make one with my chicken breast. One of the awesome perks that came with our house is this cool Stainless Steel Accuwave Whirlpool Microwave that the sellers left in the kitchen. It is attached to the cupboards above the stove, so I am assuming that it would have probably been a pain to take it off, but still, it is so nice, I can't believe they left it behind. But yeah, so you put a potato in, push the baked potato button, it "senses" how long to cook it for, and voila! Amazing perfect baked potato! Same thing for popcorn. It's so cool, I love it!
