Update

It has been probably a little too long time since I have updated this....but to be honest my life is pretty much the same as it always been.

I am still a nanny for the same family and am still loving it for the most part. There were definitely some rough patches there but it's getting better again. S (7) has decided to like me again and is letting me play with again. VICTORY!!! We have had our moments but we seem to be making some progress. I can't remember the last time he actually got mad at me or vice versa. That is seriously a miracle! N (18 months) is still cute as can be. He has learned how to say "hi" and is constantly waving his hand and saying "hi". It's adorable. He also knows where his belly button, nose, and eyes are. We are working on ears. He hasn't quite gotten that one. He likes to give kisses, which completely make my day. Overall it is going a lot better than it was a couple of weeks ago. I find myself actually looking forward to going to work and miss the boys over the weekend. Weird.

I attend the singles ward in our stake where I am the first counselor in the Relief Society Presidency. I have been in the Relief Society Presidency for a year now and I love it! It is definitely a challenging calling and could probably do so much better but I try my best and have a lot of fun doing it.

I am still living at home and finally got my room completely redecorated! A year later...but that's beside the point. For my 20th birthday my mom and brother made me an amazing head board that I feel completes my room. I love it! It's so good to have it done! Maybe I'll post pictures of the finished product but probably not.

My sister, Charity, is expecting her first baby and can not be more excited! I can not wait for this little girl to come into this world in September! They got a really good deal for a 2 bedroom apartment in Turlock but it was kinda run down and needed a lot of updating. The land lord gave them $1500 to fix it up so every Saturday and sometimes Mondays I was there helping her get it all ready for moving day on March 30st. It looks so much better now than when I first walked into it. You can't even tell it was the same place!

One of my new years resolutions was to lose weight. I haven't lost much but it's interesting to look at the changes that I have made since January with out even realizing it. I just sorta decided one day that I no longer liked candy bars and haven't had one since January. I wasn't really even aware of it until a month later and realized it. Other candy and cookies and stuff is another story but I am working on it. About a month ago I made a discovery that I have my biggest appetite at lunch and not much of one at dinner (where I eat the most.) I have decided that I am going to eat a bigger lunch and a smaller dinner-especially since we eat dinner so late. I haven't really done it yet but I am making a goal this week to try it. I also really want to get a bike. I hate to exercise and can never find the time. But I love to go on bike rides. I've been thinking that since it's getting lighter at night that I want to go on a bike ride everyday after I get home from work. I'm hoping to get a bike today...but we'll see.

Anyways, I think that is it for the update....nothing to exciting happening in my life right now.

Oh! My best friend, Brooke, is getting married in July! I think this is ridiculous because there is no way we are old enough for this but I am so incredibly happy for her!

That's it...
