white sauce

So I have finally made a yummy white sauce - that became cheese sauce - last night! I was so proud of myself. It was so yummy. We had baked potatoes, broccoli and cheese sauce. That is seriously one of the best things around. Yum.

5 weeks down and counting!! I have always loved school and learning. I still love learning but I am not really enjoying much about this semester of classes. I now realize how hard it must be for a lot of people to make it through every semester. I have finished 5 weeks now and only have 11 more to go! Wahoo! Then I have my associates. I can hardly wait! I think it's largely because I'm working now too and can easily see how my job could provide long-term opportunities.

I can't find my camera battery charger anywhere so I have no new pictures to post. I wish I had that battery charger though as I'm helping with K's Valentine party today. She is so excited. :) Me too.

full swing

So, I think I am about caught up with things at work, just in time to learn some additional duties. :) I love my new job and am grateful to have it!

The kids are doing really well with going to the neighbor's after school and have been playing well together on the weekends. I think they're glad to have the time to be in their own rooms with nothing that has to be done. Those rooms of theirs are totally trashed about now but there haven't been too many fights so I let it ride. At least my dishes and laundry stay caught up. :)

Eric and I are in full swing now with the school semester. We are already counting down to May...

My parents have just accepted an offer on their house (tonight) and will be moving next month to sunny Arizona where most of us kids were born! I'm excited for their new adventure. They're so cute in planning it. They will only be about 100 miles from Vegas so we'll just have to start hitting both grandparent houses in one trip from now on I guess.

We "just keep swimming, swimming, swimming" and praying, praying, praying. :)
