Re-charged, in more ways than one.

Hey all.
I'm back and ready to get back on the blogging ball. (Did that make sense?)
Do you want to know why it's been so long?
Let me give you my excuses.
1. I dropped all but ONE of my classes. Things were just too crazy here. Some people can balance it and go with that flow, but it was bothering me. So I dropped my classes and by the end of thise semester I will have my Associates. My plan is to come back later and finish, because heaven knows I did not spend that much time taking all those classes for nothing! I'm not sure when I'll go back, but that's the goal for now.
So for a while there I was trying to get in the groove of stay-at-home-momdom. Turns out, there is no groove. But I've gotten much better at balancing things! I spent my time figuring out my new life rather than blogging, and for that I'm sorry, but not all that sorry.
2. My computer charger died. The thing that kept my cyber life going passed away. Therefore, my cyber life passed well away. WELL.... all but things I can easy manage on my iphone. (I'm instagram crazy). I finally was able to purchase a new charger, and now I'm re-charged and ready to get to blogging again. I've missed it, it's my not-so personal journal and helps me feel more out in the world than I really am. Keeps me sane in the crazy times, but helps me spread my happiness in the good times, which takes up the majority of my life.

I'm going to try and avoid an annoying month by month update that I hate when I do. So... here's some pictures with some brief explanations. (let's hope they stay brief.)

ALSO on an awesome note, a friend of mine is re designing the dear old blog! Thank goodness for people who are well educated in blog design. PLEASE check out her adorable blog! http://brighterthings.blogspot.com/

Let the pictures begin!
My best friend is getting married on the 20th! Helped throw her a bridal shower.

 There she is!

 Tried taking a picture of Tiny, she would only stay still if I gave her crackers.

 Painted my first water color. Proud. Don't judge.

 Met a wolf.

 Met my new neice Baby Ila!

 Love faces from Tae.

I was lucky enough to take some pictures for this cute family.

 Love this one.

 Went to an amazing toy store! Blickenstaffs.

 Holiday shopping.

We are blessed.
We love life.

To Minor or Not to Minor, I hate that question...

Hello all! Today is a nice sunny day with a brisk wind that makes it just a BIT too cold to sit outside, but thats okay.
News of the week,
- We had a fun weekend at both of our homes!
- Shane now officially has a summer job and I might get one at the 4-H office.
- Jaime and Peter slept over last night and we watched Tangled while doing math! (haha)
Thats pretty much it!
But yesterday in my art class we drew each other! It was really fun and a nice surprise because we usually just the same things on a still life stand every week.
I'm quite pleased with my work and very proud of myself so I'm going to put my drawing on here!

It looks a lot like her which rarely happens when I draw humans! YAY! (Hair needs help.)
Does this look like me? (I hope my nose isn't that big), But I think it looks good! My art partner drew it :D

So... I want to minor in art...
Pros-
- Awesome
- Better at art. (I've already improved a lot just from this Drawing 1 class!)
- I want to...

Cons-
- Long hard classes
- Either more credits per semester or graduate later.
- I'm nervous

Eep... not very sturdy argument is it. Suggestions? Advice? Anything?!?!
Thanks!
p.s. we left our trash on our porch last night and an animal got in it. But it opened the spot where our way nasty old salad was, so.... he didn't eat much and he's probably sick somewhere. HAHA! The poor dear.

BYE!
