Update for the last few months...

Christmas and New Years

2011-2012

So it has been too long since

I last blogged...I have decided that I am going to try to post each month at least once. This has kind of been like my journal for the last three years! Wow how they have flown by! Today I have reflected on my life and found so my things to be grateful for! So many blessings and things and people that have brought me joy! This has been much needed reflection because school is tough....yes I'm still in school. I will graduate with my Bachelor's in Nursing in April though! I can't believe I have been in college for five whole years! It really has gone by so fast! I am so excited to be done though! So lets see what have Ty and I been up to lately. He is in school full time too and we have both been working. Me at UVRMC as a nurse (still can't believe it!) and Ty a few hours at Cabela's still. We spend every moment we can together...which is sometimes not a lot with me working three nights a week. I am loving be married to my best friend and he has truly tried to help my life be less stressful. School is taking its toll on both of us as well as sleepless nights at the hospital, but if we can just make it to April I think things will get a whole lot better:)

We spent Christmas break with his family. I had to work Christmas Eve and Christmas day.....I was not happy. So we celebrated our first Christmas sleeping lol:) We opened presents that morning when I got home from work and then went back to bed. I have some pictures I will post from Christmas. We spend New Year's Eve with my dad's family. We had our annual Wiseman New Year's Party and went bowling and laser tagging. It was so much fun! The holidays are always my favorite! Spending them with family and my hubby was the best!

Lately I have been struggling with the stress of working full time and going to school full time. There are times where I have just wanted to quit one or both and be a mom:) I am so baby hungry and I have been since I was like 12 lol:) I am trying to be patient until Tyler is ready and has a stable job, so that hopefully I can be a stay at home mom. That is my real calling in life I believe. Sure I can take care of sick people as a nurse, but I really want to take care of a family so bad! That will come I know someday. For now I'll just keep plugging through and stop and reflect like I did today, it helps so much!

Oh one last thing...Tyler and I got called to be ward missionaries for our ward. It has been an amazing experience for both of us. I went on splits with the sister missionaries a few weeks ago and I felt like a real missionary lol. The Spirit is so strong when you are teaching the basics to those children and people who don't know about the Gospel. I love it!
