yikes

Ok, I know it's been forever since I've posted anything. The days just seem to fly by. I passed my insurance test (for life and health insurance) I was pretty excited because 70% is required to pass and the average person has to take it 3 times (according to the place I took it) and I passed with 80% on my first try. I have completed my training and now sell medicare to retirees who have lost group coverage. It's interesting for sure. Logan started school, well preschool. He goes 4 days a week 4 hours a day. It's been sad and yet wonderful all at the same time. It has been hard to have him gone for so long. Jonah misses him like crazy. He says all day long "Pick up Mogan?" (Mogan is what Jonah calls Logan) What I have noticed is that I get a lot more one on one time with Jonah, and that has really been wonderful! I always felt bad because Logan got SO much attention when he was a baby because he was an only child, and I was a stay at home mom. Life has definately changed since then, but I feel like I'm able to devote several hours to Jonah. I love that.
On Sunday, before we took the kids to their dad's house, we stopped and let them play in the park. It was so wonderful to see them run and hang off of Robert. I sat and watched as he chased them around the swingset and went down the slide with them. (I wish I had pictures) Speaking of pictures, as soon as I can, I'll post some photos of Logan's first day of school.

Life is on Hold

For the moment, my life is on hold. I got hired by the same company that Robert did. I am studying to pass my state life and health insurance license test. Everybody pray for me! Hopefully I'll be back to the blogging world soon.

Best week EVER!!!

The last couple of weeks have been completely dedicated to studying. Robert has been studying for his insurance agent test. He recently got a job at an insurance company down by the point of the mountain. The job is going to be a really good thing for our family...but I tried not to count on it too much just because he had to pass this horrible test before he was actually offered his job. Robert really studied hard. He decided there would be no video games or tv until he passed this test. Thank heavens all of the work payed off! He passed the test this week. He was the only one in his entire testing group that passed!!!

Proof...It doesn't matter the era..I was born a dork

I've seen this around before, but one of my friends was playing around with this last night and posted a bunch of photos on facebook, so I figured I'd give it a try, since I've got nothing better to do. (try out your own nerdy photos at www.yearbookyourself.com)This pic actually looks a lot like my senior photo except my hair was shorter and my bra strap was showing.

24th of July

Yesterday, while I was making dinner, Robert said he wanted to take the boys outside for a surprise. When I went outside, this is what I found.











(this is the first year we have done fireworks or sparklers with the kids. They thought it was the greatest thing ever.)
Jonah kept trying to blow the sparklers out like a birthday candle. It was pretty cute.

Test

Wow, it has been so busy! Robert has been hired by an insurance company. We're really excited about the new job, but he still has to pass an insurance agent test. He has been studying his guts out, but the information is SO hard and so boring, so everyone pray for us!!!! It has pretty much been our life for the last week. We have until wednesday. Hopefully, after that, I'll have more time and be able to post more.
Over the past couple of weeks we have done some fun things. We went to the duck pond to feed the ducks and then we also went to a big family swimming party at my cousin Brian's pool. Here are some photos.

Kids are coming home

Wow, this week has been completely boring. I can't believe I haven't posted more. The kids went to Idaho for a week with their dad to visit their grandparents. Oh, how I have missed them.
I should update you on the cats. Yes, plural. A few weeks ago, we got a kitten, and settled on the name Molly. A few weeks later, the people we got the cat from decided to get rid of Molly's brother too. *sigh* I don't really know how it happened. Robert loves cats. LOVES. So we decided to take her brother too. We named him Monroe. He's a cute little guy and they really love each other.
Anyways, Robert turned 33 this week, Monroe was his present. We had birthday cake with his parents and brother Scott. It was pretty fun.
The kids come home tomorrow and I am SO excited!!! I have missed them SO much!!
