....

Taking deep breaths.  Drinking some hot tea.  Deep inhalations.  Closing my eyes periodically and taking in the feeling of peace.  Serenity.  I  just finished a very long but productive and rewarding day.  

I worked my hardest job of the week, picked up kids, got them packed up and off to Granny and Papa's house, and then took an exam while I waited for Cody to get home from work.  I got an A on the exam (yes!!).  As of now, I am on track to be on the dean's list again this semester, I intend on keeping up the hard work I have been putting into it so far, and finishing the semester strong.  I believe I am looking at one more semester at OTC.  After that, I plan on attending Missouri State and going into accounting.

When I finished my exam, Cody and I went to dinner. We were planning on going to see a movie at the Moxie, but instead opted to come home and watch Netflix and have some cuddle time.  He has to work early in the morning and I am going to do yoga then go shopping with some girlfriends.  I am looking forward to getting out with the girls, as we have been friends for ever and always have a blast.  

Here is pic of my handsome man at dinner.



 I love it...and this man.  He is amazing and I don't know what I would do without him by my side, for the rest of my life.  :)))

He is sleeping soundly, and I got an observation paper written for my psychology class.  After the exam and that paper, I am officially on Thanksgiving break for the next eight days and I am thrilled.   Work will be busy for the first three days of the week next week, then I will be off Thursday through Sunday.  During the holiday season, I am so thankful that I no longer work in retail.  For any of you that do, bless your heart.  I did it for about ten years.  It sucks.  Big time. 



I hope to get some more pictures of the kids up soon.

Here is one of me and Laica, before we went to see Mary Poppins.  Both Caden and Laica loved it.  We went with Cody's mom and grandma, and it was a lovely time.
 

  

I will post more after Thanksgiving, when I have more pictures to share.  Caden just started basketball and Laica is still taking gymnastics (we are busy)... love that they are in activities that they like.

Until next time...
