What we've been up to? Enjoying the home life. We spent the last 2 weekends home (like a record) and it's been great to get caught up on stuff, have time to actually do service, and spend time just with the 4 of us. The week kinda stunk... Tianna got strep then I had it last Monday and Tuesday. Felt better Wednesday and got a migraine headache (first ever) that lasted until Saturday. I was in so much pain I felt like I needed an epidural! I couldn't move an single muscle without feeling like I was being hit in the head with a sledge hammer and needed to throw up. Glad that's over with and wouldn't mind living the rest of my life without another one!
Luke has been busy busy with school and work as usual. Things are so up in the air right now as to what we'll be doing with school. He retook the GRE test to get into Grad School and while waiting for the results he found out he was 1 credit short to graduate with his bachelor's this semester... and he missed out on taking a major pre-requisite class for all his Master's classes he intended on taking in the spring if his scores on the GRE were high enough to get into the program. So.. we were at the point of deciding just to take one class next semester to finish his BS and move on with life and no Grad School. Then he got his scores back and they weren't where they needed to be. So yesterday, that was that.
Today he talked to a counselor and several options opened up to him. And apparaently BOTH his GRE scores were high enough for some reason. Stupid. So now we're back to having options and just trying to choose the best one. It's so stressful!! He may even try getting into the U... which would offer more classes he needs if he wants to work at the power plants (which he does) but that would mean starting over with finding jobs, housing... bleh bleh bleh.
I took some pictures of our house with our full grown flowers so that if we end up moving soon we'll have some pics of our house. I'll share!
We've enjoyed our garden this summer and are sad it's suppose to freeze this week. We're not quite done with it! We had lots and lots of zucchini, cucumbers, onions, carrots, 3 beans :) 4 pumpkins, 3 ears of corn :) and some weeds. hahah We aren't ven going to bother with corn next year.
I've been working on Christmas presents already and it's been pretty fun! I've also taken up the routine of going on a 2 mile run 3 times a week. I have never been one to enjoy running... but I'm starting to become a fan! I feel so good when I've ran and I would really like to lose my baby weight........ but for some reasons it's just not budging.
Let's see....... Ran 2 miles this morning-check. Breakfast: oatmeal with skim milk-- check.
Lunch: cherry cobbler-- check.... oh wait! that might be why. Hmmmmmmmm.
The other day I watched an old favorite, "Never Been Kissed" and then a couple days later Tianna dressed herself up and I just couldn't help but laugh at the comparision of Drew Barrymore spinning around in her 80's prom dress.
I also finally got around to getting some better pictures of Adelia in her blessing dress. My friend Chandra hooked me up! Those were the pictures of the gorgeous baby up above! :D

I love the pictures of Adelia in her blessing dress and of course always love seeing Tianna and her princess self. It always makes me giggle to see how much she is a girly girl and Aden is very much boy!
Wow! You have alot going on! I love your house! Good luck deciding what to do about life :)
Mary! You guys are so busy! I have a good plan for your life. Come to the U and you can come to all my turbo kick classes! I miss you!
I always get exhausted after your posts, because you guys are always so busy!! You guys have so much going on, I don't know how you do it! You're Supermom!! Love the pics of Adelia in her blessing dress! They're adorable! And I love little Tianna's princess dress (and yes, there is an uncanny resemblance to Drew Barrymore's prom dress)! Good luck with all the decisions with schooling and jobs and all that fun stuff! :)
Good luck with your decisions, its not fun being in limbo. That's awesome you are running, now that we have moved and are settled I plan to get back into it. Super cute pictures! The U would be fun!
