Incredible!

It seems like forever since I blogged last...but I have just been so busy I haven't had time. I am also trying to spend more time enjoying Alexa, and less time on the computer and watching tv. I never really did a lot of either, but I'm really trying to minimize it these days because she is growing up so fast, and that's something I can't ever get back!

Let me catch you up...quickly because I've gotta go to bed.

Mama and I have started working with Janice every morning at 5:15. We get up at 5, and leave here...and then walk until around 6. I have to admit, I don't enjoy getting up at 5, but I am feeling much better and healthier with the addition of exercise in my life.

I also told you before that Alexa was changing daycares and she is totally loving it. We had a few rough days the first week, but this week she has done beautifully! I am also enjoying having her next door because I can go and observe her (through tinted glass) during the day. She is also getting ready to start dance lessons, and gymnastics! I can't wait...I know she is going to love it.

I am starting back to school next week, and once again I have changed my major. LOL! I am not surprised by this at all, and those of you who know me probably aren't either. I am going into Secondary Education...I know, shocking right??!! :) I have felt for a long time that this is where I belonged, but I have made up lots of excuses as to why I just couldn't do it. I have finally submitted to God...ok, it's really that He slammed every door on me and I didn't have a choice!

Long story short, last week when I went for orientation I sat down with my advisor to set up my schedule, and I needed 4 classes...there was only 1 that worked with my schedule. That's it...and every time I thought of some way to manipulate the situation and make it work...it didn't. Until I started looking to Secondary Education! I don't want to go to school more than 3 days a week because I want to have as much time with Alexa as possible. Today I met with my new advisor, and I ended up with one internet class, and then 3 classes on Tuesday and Thursday that start at 4:30 and go until 8:40. I was so excited, because I really expected to be going at least 3 nights!! God is so good, and this is working out much better than I ever planned. Isn't it amazing how that works, and yet we still try to do it our way!

Tonight Alexa, Mama and I went out to eat with a great group! We had Anne, Janice & Julia, and Jackie, Stephanie & Perrin. I was so excited to see Stephanie and Perrin when we got there, I knew Anne was inviting Jackie, but I had no idea if Stephanie and Perrin would come or not. We all had a great time, and Alexa had a blast visiting Perrin at the other end of the table. I wish I had taken my camera so I could've taken some pictures, but I didn't. It has been too long since I last saw Perrin in person...I hope it won't be as long before we get to see him again.

Well, tomorrow is Friday, which is always a wonderful day. I baked cookies for Alexa to take tomorrow because they are having a party for the older kids who are moving up into the preschool room on Monday.

It's been an exciting couple of weeks, and I can't wait to see what is in store for the next couple of months. A & W both have birthdays coming soon...I am so excited. We definitely need to start planning the party! I've also got to start thinking about a present for Alexa!! :)

Well folks, have a great weekend. Walker is coming to stay with us for part of the weekend, and I can't wait! They have so much fun playing together. I have some really cute pics to post from last weekend, but I am already later than I wanted to be, so those will have to wait. Maybe I can get that done tomorrow!
