Status Update!

---

It has been an extremely long time since I've blogged anything. Things at our residence are crazier than normal. We are currently in a long drawn out legal custody nightmare that seems to be never ending these days. Some of my last blog posts were submitted as "evidence" and it honestly discouraged me from wanting to post anything. It made me feel violated that my husband's ex wife and her legal team are so desperate to find anything at all to make a case that they stooped to stalking the site I share with my sister to empower families.   

Anyway, enough about them and their desperate futile attempts to steal our joy. We are doing fantastic! All of our kids are healthy and doing very well! My two year old was recently fully potty trained and that is an amazing triumph. My daughter got accepted into charter school for kindergarten and I am so stoked about that! We have a huge group of supporters who pray for us daily & an amazing church family.

I am enrolled in three classes this semester and I am mere 15 credits away from getting my Bachelor's! the excitement of finally almost being done with college is overwhelming! I am so excited to finally have one of my main goals completed. 


We have birthdays coming up! My littlest members of the family will be 3 & 5 in March. My sister's birthday will follow theirs & mine is in April! Our birthday's are followed by Mother's Day, my husband's birthday, my anniversary, my stepdaughter & stepson's birthday's, and August will bring my brother in law's birthday, my father's birthday, and my grandfather's birthday! We will have a small break and then we will be at Christmas again! 


My current goals include:
1. Organizing every room in the house (room my room, give everything a place)


2. Teach my 4 year old to read before kindergarten (she is oh so close! she knows what sound every letter makes and recognizes some words)


3. Finish the semester with a 3.0 or better


4. Teach my two year old to tattle less and share more.


5. Make time for at least one date a month with my hubby ( we are terrible at this! we go 3+ months sometimes without going out on one date!)


6. Take 3 & 5 year old birthday pictures with my tots! (they will only be this age one time!)
