Craziness!

Our lives have been so increadibly busy that I haven't had time for a new post! But as far as everything goes life is good! Morgan has been working hard and has finally found a new (but only temporary :( ) job, working for the census bureau! Thankfully though it is a 40 hour a week job making great money! Finally, we can get ahead! He also has a job interview on April 6th, for the Missiouri National Guard as a historian. I can't wait to see if he ends up getting it because it would triple our current income. It would be amazing if the Lord blesses us so that we can go there but if not He will lead us someplace else.

Lorraine has been a busy little girl too! She is now only napping once a day but thankfully it is a three hour nap. She has also made the transition from formula to milk. She loves most foods but not veggies. She won't even touch potatoes either (I wonder if she is my daughter on that one because I could not live without potatoes). Lorraine has also mastered getting up on the chair in front of my desk to play on my computer(or make it crash). I have learned not to leave my computer on or my screen up after I am done.

As for me, I am getting off the Paxil and I am so glad to be doing so. It just made me too tired to keep up with everything. I am doing well in my classes but I can't wait for them to be over. I've been busy getting presentation together, doing papers, practicing, and all other good things. I am also taking five classes of ballet a week. I may sound like a lot but it really isn't. I take Lorraine with me to the dance studio quite often and she has fun there. I love my ballet teacher and I love the fact that she lets me bring Lorraine to any of the classes that I need to.

I have also had some great success with Mary Kay sales this week. I held two classes and had someone call and need something. It was awesome to have had some success there because I was really feeling down about it, thinking that I have put in a lot of money but I haven't gotten a lot out of it. However, I think that is going to change.

This next week will be crazy because we have to start getting ready to move. Our lease is up in the middle of April and thankfully we have another place already. We just have to pack it up and move. Just a word of advice to any students out there.....DON'T MOVE AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER!!!! I wish the timing of it would have been better but alas our current landlords hate us and won't let us live here a moment beyond our lease. Morgan also has his second to last drill for the National Guard and will be gone all weekend. But on the good side, General Conference is this weekend and we will be uplifted and edified! Hallejuah!

Spring is in the Air!

Life is good here in Virginia, we have had some unseasonably warm weather but hey we aren't complaining! It has been absolutely beautiful here with the temperatures being around 70 during the day and 50 at night! It was great to have some nice weather, so we took Lorraine out to the park. Unfortunately I forgot the camera so no cute pictures.

Spring Break is here, and I am so glad to have a week off school to recuperate. I have been enjoying the time I have off but I know I will need to get a little work done before long.

Morgan is working hard and helping out around the house. Lorraine has a bit of a cold with a runny nose and cough, but she doesn't even act like she is sick, other than sleeping a bit more.

Not much else is going on!

Fun Times in the Deane Household

Well this last week has been a lot of fun, even if it has been quite busy! I've been busy getting schoolwork done and Morgan has been busy getting applications in. I found a bunch of time to practice my viola which is always a plus. Lorraine has been happy and healthy this week too.

Wednesday was the Blue and Gold Celebration for Cub Scouts. Our scouts had lots of fun and decorated some of the greatest cakes! There were quite a few people there and I kept losing Lorraine just because she is so small and mobile that I couldn't keep track of her. Thankfully we were in the church and there was only a couple of places that she could go.

On Friday, I started my extra class of ballet. It was a lot of fun and was really inspiring to see all the other girls on pointe shoes and it just encouraged me to do all that I can to get there. Lorraine also went with me to class because Morgan had to work. Unfortunately an hour before we left she crushed her toe and was still quite grumpy because of it. She was less than happy until about the last 15 minutes. Hopefully next week if she needs to come with me she will be better off.

Saturday, I decided that it was about time that Morgan and I go out on a date. We hadn't had the time or money to go out since our anniversary in August. We got our neighbors to babysit and went out to Outback Steakhouse for dinner and then went to a family fun center. They had bumper cars, old arcade games, and lots of other great things to do. It was a lot of fun to just let the kid out of ourselves! We were in line for laser tag and the guy that was running it thought we were just there waiting for our kids to get out. We had to correct him and let him know that we did want to play. Morgan got first out of four, and I got third. It took me awhile to catch on to what to do. It was so much fun for us to just get out and be a couple again. I forgot what it was like to go to a restaurant without Lorraine, and it was so weird not to have her there. On the drive home we ran into snow. Thankfully it wasn't sticking to the asphalt yet. It snowed all night Saturday and all night Sunday!

So, this morning classes were canceled until 10am. I was so excited, that meant I was able to sleep in! I was about to get up at about 9 when my teacher for my 10am class called and said that she didn't need me to come in for the test because she was going to use my grade from last semester when I took the class but ended up withdrawing right after the midterm. It was awesome, because the night before I didn't fall asleep until 4am. Unfortunately, it threw off Lorraine's sleeping schedule and she wasn't asleep for her naps at the usual times, which meant that I had to stay with her through my classes because Morgan wasn't up yet.

Well! We had quite a week. I hope next week is just as fun!
