Tomorrow's a new day for my baby boy

So, we have finally decided that we are going to take our second child out of public school and put him into a private school.

It was a very hard choice to make and he cried uncontrollably when we told him.

It broke my heart but it is something that we have to do.

He is such a good kid, but he is a chameleon. He fits in with everyone.

If it's a bad situation he is there full force and the leader of the pack.

If it's a good situation there he is again Full Force ready to be the leader once again.

We have chosen to put him in a Christian school. It is going to be good for each and everyone of us.

They have bible study every day, they have chapel every Wednesdays and the classes are small.

Yeah!

Well tomorrow is the day and we will see how all goes. Hopefully it goes well. I am so excited.

Holla the shelving is done!

WOW! I'm totally amazed with my creations. There is no better feeling to have than to think up an idea and it turns out alot better than I anticipated.
So my closet in my bedroom was a total mess! Seriously? Who thinks of these stupid, impractical closet organizers? It must be a man because they do not have many clothes.
So I'm the one in this household that does any remodeling or organizing. I'm an organizer about everything, I'm so organized that I'm disorganized if that makes any sense.
So I'm sitting on my bed one day trying to take in how messy my room has become since I remarried. He blames me, I blame him. I look at my closet and think what a bunch of wasted space. So I tell him, I'm going to rip out the shelving in the closet put rods in and re-shelve. He's like whatever....(cause he's thinking if she's doing it I'm not having to & that means more John Wayne movies)....
Well I pull everything out of my closet and begin....Only problem? I don't have the strength. WOW what in the heck did they use concrete slabbing to hold them in place? Geez. So he comes home to a disaster and wants to know why I haven't got it done. Well sweet cheeks I need your braun, so will you get in there and tear out the shelving and I will do the rest?
You can see the tormenting pain in his face. But he says he will. A week and a half later the bottom portion is out. I put in the closet rod and shelving to the bottom portion and he comes home last night and is totally impressed. And he is willing to help me with me other ideas....to include framing a wall in....HOLLA!

Back to work and didn't get everything done......

Well the Labor Day vacation is over. I only have to work 2 days but I didn't get everything done that I had anticipated. I'm attempting to get my bedroom closet re-organized. I have pulled out the shelving & am putting a bar completely across. I have way too many clothes to include my husband's and not enough room. So I have decided to design something more practical which entails ripping out the old shelving & replacing it in a different area. Stay tuned for my pics. I'm actually embarrassed I did not take a pic before but rather after I started tearing it apart. UGH *note* my closet doesn't look like this normally but I feel like it looked this way so I decided to change it up......
I only work the 2 days and then I'm back to the grind stone of organizing this house!

Labor Day Weekend 2010~


Well we had an amazing Labor Day weekend.
We left Utah on Thursday to join my family in witnessing my cousin and his new bride confirm their love at their wedding. This event took place in Washington.
It has been a bit of an interesting trip with 3 kids ranging from 3 to 18 driving 8 hours straight through. Needless to say Thank the Lord for DVD players (3 to be exact), lots of junk food and a cooler full of drinks.
We decided to make it a bit of a family vacation.
I really enjoy the time I spend with my mom's sister Bonnie. I miss her so much and am not able to see her alot. Everytime I walk away from a weekend with her, her husband and her children I think I need to take more trips to see her.
The wedding was beautiful. Courtney was a beautiful bride and Beau was a handsome groom.
We are now on our way home from our festivities and should be home around 4 a.m.
We could not take ourselves away from our family but figured we better because Kylee has to work graveyard tomorrow night :(
I keep holding onto the fact that I will be retired in 7 years and 10 months and then I can make Washington or Oregon my permanent home. Ya buddy.
Well I better put the computer away, it makes it hard to drive....kidding, I'm the passenger.
