your looking at the newest student at Utah State University! Go Aggies!!
Yep - its true - i've registered for my first semester of college EVER. I'm 34 years old and staring from scratch. Kinda crazy i know - but i've been in the Mortgage industry for over 15 years and had always planned on returning to that when my kids were old enough and in school. I could make my own schedule and still do some from home. Well - thats not an option anymore with the economy and the route that the mortgage industry has gone - its to cut throat and the rules and guidelines are changing daily. I still have my liscense but won't be doing much with it. I'm going into secondary education - so i can still have the same schedule as my kids and get good insurance! Wish me luck.
The second change is WE ARE MOVING! We are in the process of purchasing a beautiful home in Honeyville - which is about 25 minutes north of where we live now. A much more remote area with alot more land and peace and quiet!
ALot more room for the kids to run and play and for us to spend more time as a family. I will share the inside later - before and after's. We are re-carpeting and painting and doing some new counter tops. But it's a fun home with a layout we will have to adjust too. Here at our house - everything is on one level - there - everything is split between three levels. So things will function differently - in a good way I think - we won't be on top of each other all of the time. So WoW! And if that werent enough...............
We are getting a puppy. We went and saw them last night............trying to decide between the yellow male Lab or the yellow female. We went with the intentions of getting the female - but Dean liked the personality of the male better - so in a few weeks we will be the new mama and papa's over here! Which brings me to this layout i did of Buddy - we miss him sooooooooo much and i wanted the picture to be the main focal point - i used the
Lovely line by
Lily Bee Designs. Here is a
link to the blog post i did about the layout!
So thats it - my life is going to do a 360 in the next few months. KInda scared - kinda excited for some change and a new start!
hugs

Lots of big and exciting changes! I'm sure they will all go wonderfully, and I bet you'll make a great teacher!
That's just amazing - and sounds like a great opportunity for you! Studying is lots of fun :) What are you going to study? Best wishes! :)
Wow!! That is a lot of changes!! I love the open area where your house is, especially the back with the benches, that is so cute! I know we don't see you a whole lot but we will miss having you in Plain City:)
wow, so many changes :D
congrats on starting school and your new home :D
I started crying when I saw the layout I remember the story of Buddy and today I have to take our Sweet Emma to the vet she is about 12 years old and has a growth on her paw and seems to be in pain and she didn't want to eat yesterday so I knew something was not right. She is a black lab who we got through a rescue organization when she was about 2.
Anyways congrats on the new house, starting school and getting a new puppy!
congrats on going back to school and the new house...enjoy the creative process of making it yours! Love the layout...we are such dog-lovers so I can relate!
I'm so proud of you, Brenda! You are going to be an excellent student & I really think you'll like going to USU. I had a great experience there. :) Also, that's great news about the house! Sounds like we are both going through the process! Hey, sorry we weren't able to get together while I was up here. We were trying to fit too much in - - -visiting too many people/family members in one day. I'll tell you more later. Love your guts, C
Those pictures of Baylee and your Dad are priceless!
Even though I will always be a little mad at you for moving (not really mad, just sad) I am so happy for your family, it will be such a great place for them to grow up. Also, you will be an awesome student!!
Lots of wonderful changes in store, Brenda! I'm so happy for you and wish you an easy transition through it all!
wow girlie...lots of changes, but they all sound so wonderful! You and your sweet family deserve only the best. Thinking of you and sending cyber support. I miss you.
((((hugs))))
wow, so many changes! congrats!! so excited for you!
Wow!! So many changes - I had no idea. You will love living in Honeyville - I grew up in Garland (in fact my dad is the mayor of Garland now) and went to Bear River....fun times.
Also - USU!! Kevin and I graduated from there - you'll love it and I'm so proud of you for taking that on with kids.
Congrats and good luck in all you do - we'll miss seeing you around MemoryWorks :)
Amber :)
