Halfway!

Well, Addy has learned some new words and phrases and along with that, this past week I have worked so hard to finish those last 6 chapters I last spoke about! And guess what!? I am taking my final this next week. I will let all of ya how I did, but after this final this week, I will be half way done with the program. At that point, I will be able to say how long it will take me to completely finish! There is a small chance I might really finish in May like we hoped I would!

So for now, just a short post, Addison's new phrases and words consist of: "Don't touch", "Move on"-as in get a move on haha.. , her uncles name "Devin", "Belly button", "Night night", "Addison". "ball", "Dance", "Down", "more" that is including the sign language of it! :D, "please", "bear", and "fish". She always says, "eyes", "mouth", "beep", and knows where the eyes, mouth, nose and ears are haha. She makes almost all the animal sounds and pretty much repeats anything she hears you say. She gets bigger and smarter everyday! I was just looking at a video yesterday of her first steps in December! Wow how she has grown into quite the little lady. ;)

This one is called,"So close yet so far away"

The days seem to pass so slowly, but we have already been living here at Adam's parents' house for just about three weeks! We fought for a raise where Adam currenly works, because he absolutely loves working at that clinc and working with who he does. After 2 and 1/2 weeks of looking into other clinics and considering other offers, the clinic finally realized they were going to lose him. They took him on a rollercoaster of please don't go to well that's too bad you are going to have to leave us...to AGAIN Please Dont Go We Need You. So after this, he got a two dollar and fifty cents raise. That should hopefully make up the money it takes to commute. We count our every blessing and some ays it seems we are closer to the end than we really are. In time of hardship and lack of patience, one of the most precious blessings is to realize that time isn't stopping.

It's a funny thing, how sometimes we look back and wish we could go back or sometimes we are experiencing something we wish could last forever. But then there are times like right now in our life where it seems hard to just put one foot in front of the other and bear down with patience because there's nothing else you CAN do. :)

It has been just beautiful here the past two days and I have taken the opportunity to take Addy on walks. Just the fresh air can rejuvinate enough to get through the day. Addy gets so excited over the animals we see. In this small town of Nephi, within a block of the house, are buffalo, yes really, about 6 BUFFALO, 8 horses, and dogs. She loves barking at the dogs haha.. and spitting at the horse with her lips. She even barks at the cats. He he. She has a mark of seriousness she uses. She squats low to the ground, widens her eyes and tells you in her language that she is very serious right then! Life- what a glorious thing! I scored another good grade on my next quiz. 6 more chapters and I will be half way done! YEAH.... I'll be keeping you posted! May the sun shine on us all today! :D
