Instructions for life....

Found the coolest thing yesterday....

Payson, AZ

Ok, so it has been a really long time since I posted anything last. Karson and I have now lived in Payson for about 8 months and we love it. I have an amazing job working at Rim Guidance, a counseling center here in Payson and Karson loves his school. We have family close by and my brother Willie lives about 2 minutes away. Things have been going pretty good.

Lots of Changes

I have not posted on my blog in what feels like a lifetime. I am finding myself with a lot more time on my hands recently. I was laid off from my job a week ago and I have not decided yet if that is a good or a bad thing. Althought it was a very stressful job, I have a whole new set of stresses in my life now. I have come to a point in my life where I have to make a bunch of changes. I guess that is the silver lining in all of this mess. But, I will stay positive and remember that even if I feel like I am regressing in my life it is only for a time and I will be moving forward again before I know it. Karson is amazing and such a happy kid. He is so understanding and supportive of everything that I do and I am so lucky to have such a great kid. The new picture on my banner is of him on Christmas Eve right after he got a hair cut. He is too cute!!

Santa Fe

Last week we went to Santa Fe, NM. I went for a job interview, but we made it into a summer vacation as well. It was a lot of fun. We went down to the Santa Fe Plaza and got to see all of the amazing adobe buildings and all of the art. We ate some fantastic Mexican food and got to enjoy some wonderful weather. It was nice to be able to see the stars too, we can't see them in Las Vegas.

Karson finished 2nd Grade

I can't believe my baby is done with 2nd Grade!!! At his school they have an awards ceremony every year and the kids get to receive awards for being on the honor roll and having good attendance and things like that. Karson's awards ceremony this year was great. He got 3 awards and then had a big class party for the end of the year.

Sponge Bob

Ben, Keilah and their kids came to Vegas for their spring break this year. It was a lot of fun to have them here. We went to the Excalibur and they had this Sponge Bob there and we took pictures of the kids with Sponge Bob.

I Actually Graduated

Ok, I know I did a post about this once before, but it still has not sunk in yet. I think that if I keep saying it that it might be real. I graduated....I graduated...I graduated. I have been working on my BA for so long that it doesn't seem real yet. I love not having to worry about homework and be able to spend more time with Karson. Somehow I am very busy, I don't know exactly what I do, but I am very busy. I'm looking for a new job now, I went to school for 8 years, I want to put my degree to use! This won't be any surprise, but I want to find something in the non-profit industry that supports women and children. NAU was the best thing that happened to me though, because it gave me a degree plan that I loved and the opportunity to go to school from anywhere.
