The holidays, school and LIFE!

First- Lots of random photos of the last couple months. Enjoy!

Dad, playing with Annie during or Thanksgiving get together.

There are the two little gobblins right before Halloween. They look too cool!

Ethan helping Daddy fix his rc truck.

JUICE! The best thing I have done for a long time. I love juicing fresh fruits and veggies.

Tate being weird.

Mark on our anniversary. We went miniature golfing, it was very fun!

The kids doing there best to smile for the camera despite the sun having other plans for them. :p

My Jack the pumpkin King painting for Halloween. Very fun project.

Me. I support our troops. And Veterans.

My first time ever giving Tate bangs. Very cute!

okay, so I am about finished with this grueling, not so nice semester. Gosh it has been tough! I took anatomy, math 1010, Anatomy lab and American History. My Anatomy lecture class has been the worst class I have ever taken to say the least. Lets just say that me and miss Teachy have completely clashing personalities. I am retaking anatomy and physio tegether at a different school called Rio Salado. That way I can pound out the two courses in one and I am doing it online so I don't have to worry about my teacher deciding she doesn't like me when she meets me and failing me before the year even starts! Anyways, I am actually very happy that I am going to go to Rio. Mark has been going there for a month now and is really successful thus far. Holidays... They have been decent so far. The kids had a very fun Halloween. Ethan was none other than a pirate again, and Tatum was a freaky looking Vampire Princess. They had a great time trick or treating and scored lots of candy that I ofcourse taxed :p. We just finished the Thanksgiving Holiday which was so nice, I was able to spend it with my side of the family at Deb's house. Aunt LuAnne has moved here with her daughter Meghan and it has been so nice seeing her and being able to get to know her a little better than before. Hmmm.. the life part. Okay about life, well its been crazy, yet good. I remember last year being better than this year. My health seemed so much better, I felt so much better, I was losing weight and feeling more confident. This year has been very challenging, as my health, I feel tired, and feeling like I am reaching a burn out. I think much of that has to do with the stresses of school, and also Mark had a job, and then was laid off. It was very frusterating. Our entire family all went to see the optomitrist last week. All normal check ups. Mark ended up getting contacts, Tate glasses and Ethan's vision is good besides a tiny bit far sited. Then there is me. My eye site is good. The health of my eyes, not so much. The doc had to dialate the eye and he was looking in my left eye with a very bright light and told me to look down to my left with it. I did and as soon as I did he says "I wasnt expecting to see that" and then he continued on to say that there is a nice sized scar in the back of my eye along with an inflamed nerve. He asked me if I ever lived near cats or a farm, and I told him ofcourse I have had cats. He suggested toxoplasmosis. He also suggested that I may have a build up of cerebral spinal fluid in the back of my head causing the inflamation. Boy I am so just fed up with the health issues. None of the symptoms make sense. I just feel lost. Anyways, enough of the negativity talk, as I want to remain optimistic and I have been dealing with whatever it is for five years and am still alive, and am not bed ridden. On a brighter note, I bought myself a juicer. I love love it! I cannot rave enough about it. I was juicing religiously for about 5 days and lost a substantial amount of weight, but was having one heck of a time sleeping. I need to get back into it, because I know it is good for me. Those darn Holidays!! :P Ayways, I hope you survived my complaining and thanks for reading!
