Life has been CRAZY busy! But if you know me, you know that busy is good. When I am busy is when I do my best work. What makes this all even better is that I am gearing up for the HOLIDAYS.
With 2 birthdays this month, Halloween, another birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and then New years...the rest of the year will be a blurrrrrrrrrr. :)
To add to all the special holidays, here is the scoop on the rest of my schedule....
1.
The most important!!! I am a Mom. The girls keep me pretty busy with all the little things. Both of the girls have (what seems like to me) lots of homework everyday. That takes at least an hour. With subjects like math, English and LOTS of Reading. Justin is great at helping out when he can. Then there is the extra stuff like, Emma being Class Representative. She was so excited and nervous. It was so cute to see her want and achieve something that she wanted so much. She had to write a paragraph about herself, read it to the class and then everyone had to vote. The scary thing is that she was the only girl who ran against 3 boys. Her class is mostly boys which she thought would swing the vote. Being Class Representative makes her part of the Student Counsel. She has meetings after school about twice a month. On top of that she is apart of a study group that meets twice a week for 2 hours after school. Both of the girls will be starting soccer soon to add to the madness.
2.
I am a wife. This one comes easy for me, thanks to the great man I married. There are a few areas I wish I was better at...like doing the dishes and laundry. Another area Justin is great at helping out. I am luck to be married to my best friend.
3.
I help run our business. I am very lucky that I get to work with my husband. We get asked all the time how we make that work. Honesty, I think it is magic. Where one lacks the other excels. That makes us a great team. Amazingly it works great for us.
4.
I am a "Class Room Mom". I volunteer 2 times a week in Grace's class. I enjoy it. I get to help the kids with their reading test, read books, help make fun stuff and best of all, spend a little extra time with Grace. She is a great student!
5.
I am V.P. of Membership of the PTA at the girls school. I am having a great time with this and serve with a great group of women. They all have an amazing dedication to the school, but most impressive is their dedication to their own families. It has been time consuming at moments but, (with a pat on the back) I have increased our membership by many.
6.
I am still Ward Chorister for our church. And I am still loving this calling. I do wish it was easier to get people to come to choir practise though. :) But I understand how busy life is for everyone.
7.
I am "Stake Young Woman Camp Director" for our church. This one is a biggie but so far it has been an amazing experience. Basically, I will in charge of just over 100 girls who will attend a week of camp over their Spring Break. We are starting to plan already. We have a theme, a place, and several activities already planned out. I am sure I will blog about it more in April 2010.

THAT IS IT. That is my, totally satisfying, full plate. I hope I did not bore you too much! By the way....the picture at the top is my school picture taken for this year. It brought back memories. The last school picture I had done was almost 15 years ago!
