Patience

So, patience is not one of my virtues. At all. 

You guys know I want a baby pretty badly. I would love to start our family. 

The message I seem to constantly be getting is be patient. That's about all I heard during our church meetings today.

 My only hope is that the Lord knows what he's doing and will bless us with a little Jason or Courtney to teach the gospel to soon. 

If things go according to plan (meaning if they follow Heavenly Fathers plan), there are some crazy life changes in store in the next year or two. Maybe that's why we aren't ready for a child. 

My only prayer is that I'll learn what I need to learn from this experience. 

So, maybe I'll make patience one of my virtues after this. 

I love my ward!!

Today was rough. 

I woke up with a headache. That made me sick to my stomach, though I don't think it was a migraine. Being sick to my stomach makes me miserable. I didn't think to take Advil before church, which would have been the smart thing. I just didn't think about it. 

I made it through sacrament meeting, barely. I decided to try and make it through Sunday school and barely made it. As we were transitioning from that to the third block for combined meeting, I had a Sunday school teacher come up to me and ask if I was alright. He is a doctor and gave some tips and offered to help if I needed anything. Then a former student's grandma came up and offered to help. (Of course the whole time I was in tears. I am not tolerant of pain at all.) 

They didn't have to come up and talk to me. They may not even realize how touched I was by their actions, but I felt blessed to be in this ward. 

When I have cried in previous wards or looked obviously unwell, people would quickly ask if I was okay, I would say I would be fine, and all was left at that. Not this ward. There are some weird things about the ward, but the people are very caring friendly. 

I am certainly blessed. 

And I'm glad after a nap and some Advil, I finally felt better!

Selling Art

Isn't going like I had hoped it would.

No one wants any. Same thing happened for my sister's and my bow shop. People say they like it and then never buy it.

You know you're still "newlywed" when....

You get caught kissing during Sunday School.

It wasn't making out kissing, just the quick peck on the lips. It's just funny that the teacher happened to look over right at that point in time and see it. He then promptly pointed our direction and said "kissy kissy".


Oh well! haha I can't help it if I love my husband! (And this "newlywed" stage may last years. ;D)

Finally

I'm finally doing it! I'm opening a shop to sell my art.

It's in the final stages before I open it up, but I'll post when it's official!

For now, go check out my Facebook page and like it to stay updated!

Giving up

Have you ever wanted to give up on something? Just choose to walk away from it all? 

I don't think I can keep going. It's tearing me apart. I swore I would never be a statistic, but education is not where I want to be. All it does is stress me out and make me fat. 

I was trimming my waist over the summer, and now 5 weeks in I have pretty much negated anything I had done. 

I can't take this anymore.
