Alright, Alright, Alright. I'll give up the goods.

A LOT is happening in my life right now, all simultaneously, one thing just as important as the next. It's been a great balancing act to keep everything in my life going so I let the blog go for awhile. Thank heavens for facebook or most people, including my family that lives 5 miles down the road may wonder if I'm even still alive. I am crazy, busy with school, especially with finals coming up next week. I'm taking two classes on campus and two classes online. Contrary to what schools would have you believe, online classes are not easy!! Ever read a nutrition text-book from cover to cover? It's very boring! It would be a lot easier to go to class and just have the professor tell me what I need to know from the book. So, that's school, can't wait 'til the semester is over so I can have a break!


The boys are going to Colorado for Christmas and they are so excited they can hardly contain themselves. I'm a little sad because this is the first Christmas that I don't get to see their faces on Christmas morning. I do need to admit, though, that I'm looking forward to the break; no school, no kids, no responsibility.....could I be that lucky?

And I've had a request from my sister to spill my guts about my new relationship (way to keep me in check sis!). I've been seeing someone for about 4 months now and the first question almost everyone asks me is if he's nice. YES! He is very sweet and caring and very respectful and supportive of my busy schedule, which is so important to me. His name is Devron and we met in High School. We hung out with the same group of friends and while we never dated we did go to Homecoming together as friends.



See, that's us. Aren't we so cute (and skinny)? :) Then back in August my BFF and I decided we would both sign up for LDSPlanet and compare guys and just see what was out there. When one day I get a message from a very familiar face! He sent me the sweetest message talking about the first time we met (I couldn't believe that he remembered our first meeting with such detail). He gave me his phone number and I called him a few days later. We went out and we talked like no time at all had passed. Although we did have a lot of catching up to do since we both have kids and had been through divorces. I'm grateful to have someone in my life who understands some of what I've been through and understands why I need to take things slowly. The boys adore him and they can't get enough of his kids! 5 kids doesn't seem like too much when they're all getting along. :)

So, that's that. I'll post again after finals.....if I survive!

That's how I remember Devron looking... and I can't believe how young you were! I remember that night, though. You looked so pretty when you left the house!

I agree with Jackson Family up there; you need to post a pic of you guys now. =)

I think his sister-in-law took a picture of us on Thanksgiving day but she hasn't sent it to me. Sorry, that's the only one that I can think of that we've had taken. :(
