Post graduation

I feel like I have so much more time on my hands now that I have completed my degrees. No more late nights of home work or studying. I'm completing every house chore almost on a daily basis, which is absolutely exhausting. If I weren't doing house chores, I'd be turning into mush on my couch, lol!

 I'm waiting to hear back from the State of Alaska DOT & PF. I applied for an accounting position when I was still in school, and I interviewed at the end of April. They started calling my references a week after my interview, so I know I've made it to the top of the potential hire list. I just can't wait to see if I am the one they want. If I do get the position, it will challenge me as well as change my family's life in so many positive ways. I'll need to figure out who can help watch my kiddos and how I'm going to get then on a schedule (or if I can even handle day care). If I'm not the one they chose, I will continue to work on my interview skills and try harder for the next one. 

  I am continuing my education no matter what. I plan on taking a few summer, fall, and spring classes in order to satisfy the 150 credits needed to sit for the Certified Public Accountant exam. I'd like to study for the exam starting next spring and possibly take the exam in the fall.

Here's to the future and all that it holds!

New apartment

Tons of changes happening this year. Ward and I are going to try our luck out in Chugiak. We found a reasonably priced, newly renovated apartment right across the hall from my sisters place! So far so good! School is almost over! I'll be graduating May 4th with my BBA and ASS in accounting (ill minor in communications). I'll continue taking a few courses so I can satisfy the 150credits necessary to sit for the CPA next year. So busy!!

Growing too quickly!

I can't believe how quickly my babies are growing! I feel like it needs to slow down. Aubrey is such a sweet helper and loves to "hold" Avery for me. She also helps me clean up her messes! 

Happy New Year!

Happy new year! We celebrated our eight year (dating) anniversary last night. We were out at our friend Roy's house in Eagle River.  We wanted to celebrate the new year at 8 PM since the kids needed to go to bed, but we missed the ball drop by one minute! It was a really fun evening. For dinner, we had pizza and breadsticks. We also celebrated with sparkling cider. We spent the night at my moms house since my parents and siblings went out to our family cabin at Nancy lake. Ward had to work this morning, so the kids and I are hanging out at my moms. Here we are waiting for everyone to come home! 

I have decided to make some life changes this year. I am starting with working on being happier. I will try to drink more water and less diet drinks. I'd also like to add more excercize to my routine to reach a healthy weight. 

I hope everyone has a happy healthy new year!
