CRAZY

By -

Sometimes... this is how I feel. Just a little CRAZY! And here's why (feel free to skip the lists if you don't want to read my incessant whining).
The things I've accomplished today:
-Blog stalking my favorite blogs
- Exercised
- taught a piano lesson
- showered
- read my scriptures
- surfed the internet
- printed a map off of mapquest
- bought tickets to an upcoming musical at USU
- filled out a TAship application (let's all pray I can get one this year)
- paid bills
- posted some jewelry that I NEVER wear on ebay
Things I started to accomplish today:
- cleaning the apartments... whoops... not done yet and it's 2pm!!!
- Filing my taxes online... it was going great, and then... FREEZE! so, we're waiting to finish that one
- reading for my classes... just about 400 pages to do... today... then come up with an outline and questions for one class and write a stinkin' awesome summary of another
- load CDs onto our computer... but now I'm down to the ones that we burned... I hate trying to figure out all of the info. about the song and I refuse to have music listed in itunes as 'track 1', etc.
- started on a really cool Valentine's/Anniversary gift for Talon, but I obviously can't post about it here... he actually reads my blog

Things still to do:
- READ!!!!!
- Go to the store
- Finish all of the above mentioned NOT finished items
- try not to go insane...
- teach piano
- figure out how we're going to pay for our last year of school-- in doing my taxes I realized we may not qualify for GRANTS!!! so pray... pray hard

And then I realized...
I am so blessed. I am so lucky. I have a healthy body that I can work out with. I have a wonderful husband who loves me and works hard to provide for us and work for his future. I have parents who love me and taught me the gospel. I have brothers and sisters who love me despite that they know me. I have a home... and a home I don't pay for. I have the gospel. This is truly the most important thing in my life. I had a moment today when I realized how the Lord is trying to shape me... and my shaping process is NOT as hard as it could and has and will be. And for that... I'm grateful. I'm so grateful for a Father in Heaven who knows me so perfectly and loves and forgives me anyway. I'm so grateful for a Savior who understands my weaknesses and struggles and sends the Spirit to bring Peace to my soul. I am grateful. What are you grateful for?

Hello Family and Friends! If you haven't heard yet, our little baby girl Adalyn was born Tuesday, March 15th at about 2pm. She was born by emergency C-section (they knocked Nicole all the way out because there wasn't time for anything else) and was under a lot of distress. After a wonderful blessing from her Grandpa Hicken and Daddy she was life flighted to McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden. She is still in the NICU there but is making great strides each and every day.  Her mommy and daddy named her Adalyn Julene Anderson-- after her great grandma Anderson (Julene). She has already blessed their lives immensely and she has benefited so much from prayers and fasts of family and friends. She has a long road ahead of her, but she is a fighter! Her grandpa Hicken calls her his little Millie- because she is a miracle baby and in Spanish, miracle is Milagro. She is a miracle and we are so happy to have her.  Love you all!

Delivery Day

By -
Well folks- it's D-Day! After talking some more and discussing with us- our doctors (a team of OBs and Perinatologists) have decided that it is best for baby boy not to have any risks with the placenta and come today. So- He's going to be very early- they will have completed the steroids though, so that is helpful. But we all feel that this is the very best thing for HIM. I'll have a c-section- hopefully regular this time- this afternoon and we will have a baby boy by this evening. He will go straight to the NICU and we'll just see how he does to know more about how long he will be there. Again, thank you all for your comments, prayers, texts, phone calls. We appreciate all of you and your love and support for us! Love you all- remember we are in His hands. And who's better to be in.
