Spring...

April. I love this month. I love it because my grass is coming back to life, the trees are green, the weather is absoultely beautiful (I have had lunch outside everyday for the past 3 weeks), SPRING CLEANING, oh and I am getting excited about spending time in the pool this summer. Just a few things to catch up on.

School is stressful this semester. I do not think I have been challenged my whole college life as I have been this semester. Reason for the challenge? STATISTICS & PROBABILITY! I cannot WAIT until I have no more tests regarding z-scores; standard deviations, and all of these formulas that just..... frankly look the same. I tip my hat to you guys that love this subject. I am happy that I am taking it of course, but WOW I never thought YOU TUBE would help me with understanding SCHOOL before!

I have been working full time, but because I only have a year left of school, I am considering going part time. I've been blessed to consider the option of going part time due to having awesome supervisors, managers, and a director who have been there to help me out with my schedule. I just feel that my classes are getting a little too more involved and I want to finish strong! So hopefully, once I figure it all out everything will go as planned.

Nightmares? I have not had a nightmare since I do not know when, well until last week BUT before then I could not tell you. I had this dream where I was with my mom, and sisters and we dropped off my brother-in-law at his car. He was parked on some island looking parking lot. In my dream I had been there before but I remember thinking, 'Amy be careful'. I placed my truck in reverse to back out then I put it in drive. When I stepped on the gas, I went BACKWARDS and fell into the OCEAN! I tried to open my door because I knew the ocean was deep and could not wait to get to the bottom to open it smoothly, but I could not open my door because the weight of the water. I was SO scared about my mom and I woke up STARTLED. What is that about!!! Dad say it was stress. I just do not know. Nightmares? 29?

I had a co-worker pass away at work. He was someone that I saw three times a week, said Hi and Bye to, chatted with. Never talked to him outside of work, but was apart of my life in a way. It shook me up a little. I am not sure as to why, I feel as though God used this situation to remind me that the things that I think are important are not all that important. Living life, holding and loving your loved ones, and sharing and connecting with people in the world are important. Maybe I should be more proactive about getting to know people at work. I tend to talk to and hang out with the same people at work. Maybe God has blessed me with 200 + co workers to learn from and vice versa. So in closing, Raul, you will be missed.

We have a new addition to the family!!!

Snickers Leigh Lowry - adopted March 11, 2011


He is cute but a handful. He is currently in timeout due to eating a pair of flip flops. If you haven't noticed dogs are like kids in this family. :)

The kids are doing great! Happy to be outside...
