Taylor - I'm Just Getting on When I Can

-

 I've been kinda bad at getting on here and updating! 

We got moved in! We are still in the process of unpacking (we arrived yesterday night), and will be for the next few days while we wait for furniture to arrive. Austin's employers had a company lined up to furnish everyone, but they backed out of the contract the day before we got here. We are on a nice air mattress though, so last night's sleep wasn't bad:)

School is starting back up on Monday and I'm not feeling ready yet. I've had to buy another $100 worth of art materials on top of my $100 marker set. I am also taking Personal Finance and Religion classes. I'm already ready for the semester to be over, haha. 

My mom and possibly my sister and dad will be visiting sometime later this summer! I'm excited. The weather here is a little crazy, at least compared to Rexburg summers. It goes from sunny to pouring rain in such a short amount of time! 

I am trying to get back on top of watching my portions, and eat better foods now that our long trip is over. We had lots of crackers and peanut brittle to keep us busy on the road. I also want to get better at working out again. I stopped doing actual workouts and went walking for an hour 3x a week for a couple of weeks, until finals and moving got in the way. With less workouts and worse eating, I've put on 5 pounds, which took me months to lose. So I'm hoping that doing more intentional exercising along with living on the 3rd floor will help me to tone back up. I've noticed my calves are abysmally weak. 

I am excited to have more of a schedule this summer! I get to have my mornings with Austin, and my classes in the afternoon. I hope that we can go exercise together in the mornings, and have an early lunch together before he goes to work. In my spare time, I plan to make use of my time. I really want to start making butter and cheese! So I get to down two birds with one stone. I'm gonna shake lots of butter, lol, my arms are gonna look a lot better. Maybe I'll shake some weight off my sides too ;)

    Haha Taylor the butter plan made me laugh! Exercise with a double purpose that is the way to go. It is amazing how easy and quick it is to put on the weight. Good luck with the goals, the school, and the new living arraignments.

Life Was Not Meant to Be Easy.-Aubrey

I think it is so important to understand that life was never meant to be easy. I have been really struggling lately. Some emotional and some physical, but it is kicking my butt. I have been trying to figure out what I can do to help me, but also properly execute my responsibilities at home as a wife and mother. I have been struggling to even just do the basics without losing my temper or checking out (Aaron has watched quite a bit of tv lately).  I made a check list that is pretty redundant, but it is necessary sometimes with my currant state of mind. It is divided into 4 parts; Personal, Kids, Zach, and Family/House. It has things as little and consistent as prayers and as changing as the specific chores that need to be done that particular day. My checklist haste been a really good way for me to feel like I am getting things done, but also lets me know what I might be neglecting. I noticed this last week that I have put more importance on everybody else so yesterday when I would ...

Taylor - It's almost October!

 Long time no see! Austin and I are finally getting into more of a routine. His class work load is so much easier since switching majors from Mechanical Engineering to Manufacturing Engineering Technology. He's hoping that he might be able to squeeze in a weekend to go hunting this fall, he still needs to call Cameron and talk about it though.  We will be 28 weeks tomorrow, and I am so excited! The weather is starting to cool off, I've got most of our baby stuff washed, organized, and ready to go, and the fall colors are starting to show in the trees! Tonight is our 4/5 hypnobirthing class, and we will be spending the majority learning how to use counterpressure techniques and stuff to help during labor, which I'm pretty pumped about. ALSO, Austin and I both have job interviews on Friday! It's for seasonal positions at Artco (The Occassions Group) making greeting cards for the holidays. They are incredibly flexible with schedules (literally work whenever you want, as th...

 This week is feeling redundant.  I know I still need to get to sleep but I'm so tired of trying and failing so now I want to change my goal.  However, like I said, I still need to get to sleep on time.  So I have as of not yet done much energy work on it and have on many other things which have improved.  Reasons I have failed to use it for this my current goal are many and right now sound like a bunch of excuses so I'm skipping those and today, Monday, am implementing at least one, maybe two techniques.  I will report on any results good or bad and I want progress on this one this week.  I am also going to include it heavily in my prayers, throughout the day if necessary.  This non progress has been the story of my efforts for a long time.  Since I know I'm supposed to focus on it then I am assuming I'm supposed to progress at it.  So here goes this week.  Goals: Planning meeting with God as soon as I am dressed and awake Alarm at...
