Sticking with It...

In an effort to become a better blogger, I thought I'd take a little time today to write a real blog!  I know, it's impressive.  Don't get too used to it though.  My fear is that it will slip my mind more than it will come to mind.

Update on my 2014 Endeavors: One of my endeavors for the year was to read a book each month and I finished my book for Jan last week!  That's what happens when you're stuck inside thanks to snow and SUPER cold temperatures.  I had a few more extra days to read so that's what I did (on top of watching the Teen Wolf marathon and having my own Twilight marathon).  I read Allegiant.  It was the 3rd and final book in the Divergent series.  I will say that I didn't enjoy it as much as I enjoyed the 1st one.  It took me a little longer to get into but I think that's because I read the 2nd one almost a year ago (if not longer).  But with that said, it was still a very good point.  I'm excited to see the Divergent movie in March.  If you know me, then you know I'll be there at the first showing possible.  That's just how I do it!  Another one of my endeavors was to read through the Bible this year and I can say at this moment, I'm still on track!  I know that it's only January 15, but that is a big deal.  I'm proud of myself!  I'm still sticking with the things I had set my mind to for the year.  I'm hoping it continues!

There's nothing new in the foster-to-adopt category.  We'll be setting up a date soon for the home study.  I'll have classes to take.  So for now, nothing new.  Am I nervous?  Not necessarily.  It's hard to explain.  I can be a little bit of a perfectionist and people-pleaser when it comes to things like this.  So I'm concentrating on just being me.

Sadly, there is nothing else to report.  This is my life.  Boring!  But that's ok.  I'm content with boring.  That means I have more time to read!!  (ha, ha!)

New Year, New Me

New year, new me. Who says that? Ok, a lot of people so no offense if you’re one of them.  But I like me. Sure, I’m not perfect. But I don’t want to really change all of me.  So no silly quote like that for me! It is hard to believe that 2019 is here. The older I get, the quicker time flies by.  I do remember being told that when I was a teenager.  Those people were so right.  It feels like yesterday that I was sitting in my quiet house while Johanna was off with friends celebrating the start of 2018.  But that was a year ago.  Today, I’m still sitting in my quiet house but that’s because Karyna is just waking up for the day.   A few years ago, I used to work on videos that would highlight my year.  I loved doing them but they took time.  And that’s time that I don’t have as much of these days.  It’s hard to go through a year of pictures and videos.  Do you know how many pictures I take a year?  My goodness!...

Lots of Names

Well, this is my fourth Friday in my apartment!!! It really does feel like home for the most part!!! Tera helped me...wait...I take that back. Tera MOVED my swing and table from mom and dad's a few weeks ago and so that is now on my deck! I love it!! Although, I have to admit that I haven't been home too much to enjoy it but at least I know it's there. Hopefully I'll get the chance to relax on my swing this weekend. I set my smoke alarm off the other night! That was funny! I was cooking a chicken patty and some fries in the oven. All of a sudden I hear this loud beeping! Of course once I realized it was the smoke alarm, I ran into the kitchen. Everything was good in there! Food was cooking just fine! Apparently it just got too hot in here for the smoke alarm. The funny part though is me standing on the chair trying to figure out why the alarm won't quit chirping every 45 seconds...even after I took out the battery! So after a text to the landlords (who laughed), I r...
