Pics from Halloween

I know this is a little late for these, but better late than never :) Here is the whole group of children that went trick or treating (lots of Star Wars ;) There was Derrick - (SW) Clone Trooper, Jordan - (SW) Clone Trooper, September - Cleopatra, Bradley - Scary clown, Dylan - (SW) Storm Trooper, Autumn - Pink cat, Blake - (SW) Obi Wan Kenobi, Aiden - Batman, Wynter - Brown cat, Anakin - (SW) Darth Vader (BTW, Darth Vader's real name in the movie is Anakin Skywalker, so I thought it was cute that they made Anakin...Anakin), and Taylor - a zombie. The kids had a blast!

Happy Halloween!

I just wanted to wish everyone a safe and Happy Halloween! I thought I would post a picture of what my kids are going to be for Halloween. Taylor, a zombie. Blake, Obi-Wan Kenobi (from Star Wars). I TRIED and TRIED to get Taylor to be something more "girly" but she refused... She wanted to be something SCARY. We were invited by one of Ryan's cousin to attend his work party at Dish Network last night. It was really just for kids. They had lots of kid games and prizes. They also took pictures, and that is what is below. We had fun :) Tonight will be really fun! We are going trick-or-treating in Ryan's aunt's neighborhood, which is a nice area. Anyway, again, I hope all of you have a great day!

Major catch-up & PRAYER request for my mother

Hello, I'm so sorry I haven't been on here in a long time, and even more sorry that I haven't been commenting on your blogs. I've been a busy lady lately. I finally have a day off today, but will mainly be catching up on my house today. But I have the first half of next week off and I will try to get caught up on everyone else's blogs. A lot has happened since my last post. First of all, I got a different job, the hotel did have a couple perks, but had wayyy more downfalls. So now I am doing something I love, and that is taking pictures at the Wal-Mart Portrait Studio (PictureMe). So far it is really fun. I enjoy taking pictures and I love kids/babies, which is the main people getting their pictures done. So that has been going good so far. I don't plan on being there forever, but until we can get back on track/caught up.
Our lives have been really confusing and stressful. Ryan quit his job, and things have just been... not good. But, Ryan has figured out what he wants to do and is going for it now! I'm happy for him. He is starting, on Monday, to take online courses to be a Personal Fitness Trainer. It will take 10 months to get his certification, and then he will be doing what he has always wanted to do. And he also got a job that he is excited about. I hope this job goes good for him, he is very optimistic about it. He just started demonstrating Kirby vacuums. He doesn't have to sell them, but he does show people what they can do. So we'll see how that goes.
I haven't been myself, I've just been so stressed and I'm finally feeling like myself again after praying that things would work out, things are starting to go good again.
This past weekend was the Henryetta campouts. Ryan and I took our tent down there and we all stayed in a tent (which was FUN) for 3 nights. The whole weekend was SO wonderful and UPLIFTING! We got to visit with so many brethren, and the meeting on Sunday was WONDERFUL! I will post some pictures in a couple days when I have a little more time.
I really need to go for now, and get back to my chores, and just be patient with me, I WILL be commenting on all your blogs in just a few days :)
I do have ONE more thing to ask of all of you... PLEASE pray for my mom, she has been down, unable to walk for a week or more. She has been down with Gout in her right foot. Her name is Nora, and she REALLY needs prayers.
We'll talk to you all very soon ♥

Goodbye Buddy, hello Gabriel!

Yesterday was the day I actually needed to post this, but it didn't happen, so oh well ;) We sold our cockatiel, Buddy yesterday. A super nice family bought him, and I know he will be very happy with the new family. I will kind of miss him, but I am mostly relieved. We had just gotten tired of having him around.
And also yesterday, I got a new baby nephew, ♥ Gabriel ♥ . I hate that he lives about 2500 miles away from me. I hope that I get to see him before he gets too big. But I'm thrilled about the new little addition to my family. I am getting another niece/nephew in March, and can't wait for that little bundle to arrive. But anyway... Congratulations Lee and Cherrie, oh and happy anniversary as well :)
Also, I've still been on the search for a job. I went to an interview today and immediately after the interview, the manager got out her paperwork for a new employee, so I got the job. I was a little shocked that she didn't wait a day or two to call me back, but I was glad that everything went well. I will be a photographer, which is great because you all know how much I love pictures! A LOT :) So I'm pretty excited. It is 25 cents an hour less than the hotel job, but I don't have to pay $8.00 a day to park at this place, so that is a major plus over the other place. I have a much better feeling about this place than I did at the hotel. We are still in need of prayers, this has been a huge setback for us, and we'll make it, but it will take a lot of work.
