run, run and fast as you can...

So i went to practice with the cross country team on Saturday. Ok, they totally kicked my butt! it was so hard. the coach took us to South mountain to run 6 miles or so. I kept up pretty good for the first bit but then it got really tough! we ran for over an hour. Afterwards (i didn't die) the coach told me that he thought i did great and he wanted me on the team. I was wondering if he had forgot that i barely made it...but he says that i could be good. so I accepted and i am very excited. we have a race coming up this weekend and he wants me to race...i have butterflies already! Not to mention my first real week of nursing school...i am excited though, this will be fun. I think dylan said 'book' this morning when i handed him a book! i don't know if he did it on purpose or what...happy labor day everyone! have fun not laboring!

Aden

this is Aden my little brother's boy. He just

turned 5:) He and Dylan had a fun weekend

playing together. Aden asked why Dylan only

says 'mamamama' all day. I told him because

he is a baby and is just learning new words.

Aden replied. "i hope he learns how to say

'super hero' next."

shifting gears....

The first day of orientation went well. I am even thinking about joining the cross country team at school! I think it would be way fun and there are several races that would be paid for! I am short 2 credits though- the coach suggested adding an easy typing course or something. We will see- i will keep you posted... Dylan is starting to dance! its so cute i love it. he even does it whenever you tell him to "bounce" :) so fun.

madness!

I start nursing school tomorrow! Ah! Well its just orientation, but school officially begins on Tuesday... there are new updates... so that fabulous apartment i moved into had scorpions! I would make a terrible pioneer, i guess, but i had to go! So my parents were kind enough to let me move back home:) It will be so helpful during school. So after I had just unpacked all my stuff and got settled i packed it up again and brought it to my parents house while trying to entertain dylan and stay sain myself living out of a suitcase for a few days! My parents have also been planning on redoing their floor and the material was stored in the room i was going to be in... so we needed to get that done (too bad we dont have before and after shots! it looks great), and the rooms needed to be painted, and we are putting new carpet in today. I haven't felt "settled" for a couple weeks, and i have been trying to squeeze in training for the "splash and dash" comming up...lets see what else... oh, my stinkin sister had me borrow the 1st book of the twlight series! Bad move- just say no! So sorry, I know i missed a couple showers over the last week, but i do plan on making up for them!

something amazing...

something amazing finally happened... Dylan's first word! Even better- it is "mama" ! I love it! its so stinkin cute! it does make bed time much more difficult though:( lately he has been crawling up everything and keeping mom paranoid! we have fun. its been a while since i posted anything- i have been moving the last week and packing the week before. Dylan and i moved to an other apartment off greenfield and main- we like it so far... well i start nursing school in 26 days! Ah! its about time though- i am as ready as i will ever be. well i will try to keep you posted...
