Coming back to Blogging

I think I have said this before but I am so ready to start writing on my blog more. There are many things that I would love to talk about. Sam and I have been together for 5 months now. Time is going by so fast. We love spending time together every night after work. His mom buys pretty much every movie that comes out on DVD so we go over and "rent" movies from her. It is a fun way to spend time together. Sam enjoys playing basketball at the local church buildings every Tuesday and Thursday. I somedays go with him and run around the halls to get a little workout in. That's not sac religious right? It is nice to get a little exercising in.

I am still working for my brother and sister in law as their nanny. I get to spend everyday with cute little Claire who is growing up WAY too fast. She will be two this month and she already can talk up a storm. She is my little buddy! We love playing, shopping, dancing and singing together. She is just starting to let me do her hair. I love putting piggy tails and braids in her hair and seeing her be so excited to see how cute she looks.

This week we got to have a puppy play with us at our house. It was the cutest little Morkie puppy! I wanted to keep it and make it mine but it would be hard to have a puppy right now. I haven't had a dog for so long that I forgot how needy little puppies are. It is like having a baby or toddler. I would be cleaning and the dog would just want to play in the cleaning supplies. It was so fun to have a little buddy with me all the time but it was a little too high maintenance.

Lately, Sam and I have been thinking about our future. I am only about a year away from getting my Bachelors degree. I think that it is very important to have so I really want to finish. We are considering moving to St George for a year so that I can go to Dixie State to finish. I applied and was lucky enough to get a 4 year half tuition scholarship. I think it would be so fun to live in St George. Sam would get to play all the time on his 4 wheeler after work since I will be busy every night with homework. I am considering going into an Occupational Therapy Masters Program after my bachelors. I think that it would be so fun to help people in their lives. I am excited to prepare to get into the program and begin serving again. I love being able to make a difference in peoples lives and this occupation would let me do that every day.

The other big thing that has happened in our lives is that Sam and I are officially owners of a new truck. We started looking for a new truck about 2 months ago so that Sam would have a way to transport his 4 wheeler. We were looking at Tacomas and some Nissans and we realized that our price range that we could afford was around $13000-18000. We stumbled upon the Cadillac Escalade EXT and noticed that they were in our price range as well. We instantly fell in love with that truck. They are just so pretty. We found a bunch that we liked then we found the truck of our dreams. We had Ashley and Tyler Nelson go and test drive it so that we would know that it was legit since it was in Utah and we are in New Mexico. They approved of it so we got it all set up for my parents to give him the check. It is now sitting in St George patiently waiting for us to pick it up next week. We were excited that my dad got to drive it down for us so he was able to see what a real truck was like ;) He has been driving the same truck for years and it is possessed. It decides when the wipers will go or when the horn will honk. It is a silly truck. I hope he had a great time driving it. maybe someday his truck will grow up to be a real truck someday.

What are your thoughts on Occupational Therapy?

Do you know any Occupational Therapists?

Does anyone know how to change the font on these silly Blogs?
