Life Right Now 4\27

We are finally slowing down a bit and I love it so much. Getting married, going to school, buying a home, working, having a baby, hosting millions of things at our house and holding church callings has truly taken a toll on us! We needed so badly to take a break and take it easy! We have not hosted very many things lately and have been trying not to plan too much on our weekends.

Dustin is working away, hes been really busy and stressed with work but happy nonetheless. He recently hosted a game night with his brothers and had lots of fun. He also has been going over to my brothers house and making YouTube videos with him. Dustin has recently gotten into reading a bit more and has been working on a few books. He also plays his video games (boo) just kidding I try to be nice about them haha.

He has been wanting to start our garden to grow some veggies and just recently got the soil nice and primed for planting. We are super excited perhaps too enthusiastic, crossing our fingers we are able to grow some good stuff! We should do fine, we are a family of farmers after all.

Talking about me, I started working out regularly and it has made such an amazing difference in my life already! I have so much more energy to take care of my family and to keep up with the house. I have actually been keeping a pretty dang clean house, to the point to where just a little clutter makes me crazy. I am trying not to get to OCD about it though. I go to the gym everyday for an hour and a half and drop Jetson off at my moms to play during that time. It is the perfect ME time and I already see a big difference!

I am also giving piano\voice lessons to my two nieces and making a little extra money! It has been really nice and has been keeping me musical because I often forget to practice my music. I am also baking every Thursday for Dustin's office and The Plant, Dustin brings the goodies to work and we get a little extra income there too. Still doing the photography thing but business is slow, more just a fun thing hoping I get more customers soon.

I am currently enrolled in the BYU Idaho Pathway's Program, it is basically a gateway program to get you into BYU Idaho's online program without ever having to attend the University in person. (I will do a blog post about it eventually, its an amazing program!) My mom is doing it with me, and its simple and gets me out of the house once a week on the evenings. Dustin likes the quality time that he gets with Jet on those nights too.

I have been reading a lot lately too and it has made me so happy! I have made monthly book lists that I have been actually keeping up with! (At least three books a month.) I am so happy because when I read I really feel that I am accomplishing something!

Now to the little Jet-Monkey! He is doing great, I am not going to say much here I will save it for his 9 month blog post. He is 9 months old!!! I cannot believe it! He is a little crazy and we are just trying to keep up with him. He is for sure a dare devil and is learning SO many words! He went to the aquarium for the first time on monday and LOVED it.

As a family we have been trying to organize the house better. Come up with better systems for saving paper work. We also have been on a de-cluttering kick, spring cleaning seems to be getting to us. We are really hoping to get our garden started, hopefully Dustin's busy schedule permits us to. We are also trying to plan for the future and come up with different possible plans for different scenarios in our lives.


So that is it, we are kind of boring but that the way I want it to be right now. Boring is good sometimes.
