Just another post

So I haven't written in a while but things are looking up! Morgan has a good job as an online instructor but he doesn't get paid until the middle of the semester but we know we will be fine until he gets paid. The church is going to help us with next month's rent and in September I will be getting the excess of my student loans. I know I will have to pay back those loans but it will definitely help to get us back on our feet completely. Besides financial issues everything is wonderful in this house.

Lorraine is happy and healthy, except for bumps and bruises because she is very clumsy and falls all the time. She has her 18 months old checkup today, and I am excited to see how much she has grown in the last three months. She will also have to get vaccination today so I hope she doesn't become too cranky.

As for me, I am returning to school tomorrow for another summer semester that only last 3.5 weeks. The classes are crazy during the summer because you go to class for 5 hours a day and then spend another 4-5 hours on homework. It is going to be tough but it will get me 6 more credits closer to graduating. Which comes to another thing, I will be giving my senior recital in March (although the date isn't set in stone yet). It makes me really nervous because I only have two pieces ready somewhat learned but they aren't close to being performance ready. I have to learn another 3-4 pieces still. I hope and pray that I can find the time to practice but it definitely isn't an easy thing to do. When I have so many other responsibilities, it is easy to do those instead. And then there is a bit of guilt too, because I want to spend time with my family and the longer I am at school the less time I have with them. Anyways, I will just have to do what I must do and hope that it will be good enough.

Below are some great pictures that I have taken this week.

Yesterday we didn't get home from church until 5pm and she didn't get a nap earlier in the day. She fell asleep in her high chair, thankfully not right in her food.

Just a fun picture of my two favorite people

Every time we open the refrigerator door Lorraine thinks that she has to sit down inside.

And she gets everything out of the door and sets it beside her.

I am very happy right now, and life is really good.

Trying Times.....But they won't last

It has been very hard for Morgan and I the last week to be very cheerful. We've been given ALMOST more than we can handle. However, we are dealing with everything the best we can. We are so grateful to good family and friends. Tonight I was so sad because of our situation and I couldn't stop crying, but I got myself together and called a friend to give both Morgan and I priesthood blessings. He stayed with us a while and talked before giving us each a blessing. It is so wonderful to see the priesthood power in action. We each were given peace of mind and that is all that we needed, or at least I needed. I might even be able to sleep tonight, I hope. I also got a call from my Sister-in-law. I am really glad she called, I really needed to talk. Last night, I called my sister and I am glad that I was able to talk to her too. I found that I need to talk about my problems to more than just Morgan sometimes because with each person that I talked to I found different perspectives. Am I making sense? Probably not, but oh well. I can only hope that life can only get better from this point on!
