We are happily living in Colorado Springs and enjoying the new found hot weather that has brought with it the beauty of greenery and blossoms. Rob is currently working with a liquid oxygen supply company and is earnestly seeking out to gain employment in his field as a Medical Lab. Technician. He graduated early this year with a resounding 4.0. I couldn't be more proud!
Rob is a very kind, loving, generous man. He is so patient and understanding. I believe we get along so beautifully because we communicate on many levels. We're respectful of each other and our tight budget. Not a penny is spent without us discussing the priorities; rent, car insurance, utilities, groceries, gas, medication... The only debt we have left is his new student loans. Hurray!
Joseph is constantly pushing the line for many different things. He's so smart. Just a few minutes ago he opened the refrigerator, got out his cup of chocolate milk, closed the fridge, then happily ran away drink in hand. He knows how to work the dvd player, the television, and the computer. The little stinker also knows how to unlock the front door to escape outside into the hot weather. (It's a good thing he knows to ask first!)
As for me, I working on losing weight. According to my scale, I've already lost close to twenty pounds. I've started a writers group here in the Springs so that we can learn and grow for FREE. I have gone back and written a new prologue on a very special book. It's a challenge, but I take what I learn and apply that knowledge, fixing the mistakes one chapter at a time.
I have found joy in giving women free facials and color make overs. It gives me a chance to get out there and help others. As a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant, I've learned to serve others in another way. It's wonderful when you finish a face and the woman is nearly in tears because she can't believe how pretty she really is. All I do is teach her the proper skin care regiment and high light her natural features! It's very rewarding.
Every week my husband and I set goals for ourselves. This week I've decided to not gossip about any one or skunk myself. the whole skunk thing is when you say something bad about yourself.
I am grateful for my husband and son. They are a constant reminder of the great love my Father in Heaven has for me. I'm grateful for the attonement... Without it, no one could ever be whole. I'm grateful for my family... They have been through so much. I love each of them and keep in mind that they're not perfect. No matter what happens, I will love my brothers, sisters, their spouses and children! I know that Heavenly Father just wants us to be happy. That's why he's let us in on His eternal plan. I'm grateful that I will have my family forever! That brings me joy.
God Bless you and Keep you! Have a wonderful week!
