Adoption profile

Okay this is a short blog to let everyone know that Aaron and I are still trying to adopt. Okay so I am sure most of you know this already but I just thought I would give a reminder to everyone. We even have an online profile. To look at it or to pass the info on to someone else go to www.itsaboutlove.org/profile . When you get to this page click on the link that say SEARCH ADOPTION PROFILES. When that page comes up, under adoptive profile name type aaronandsara . Next hit the view profile button and you can get our profile. Make sure you type in our profile name exactly how I wrote it or otherwise the website can find us. Anyway our caseworker says the more people know the more our chances increase of being able to adopt. This has been a long and difficult process for us but we have faith that our Father in Heaven will bless us one day and we are looking forward to that day.

Eating jelly beans in the dark!

Okay! I know the title sound a little funny, but this is an activity everyone should try- eating jelly beans (jelly belly brand in particular) in the dark. Let me explain. I went to the Dollar Tree to buy some paper and bought some jelly belly brand jelly bean called belly flops (I really got them because the name made me laugh). They are called belly flops because the color or size was not up to normal jelly belly standards. LOL! And that is why I could buy them for only a dollar. Anyways it was about 8:30 in the evening and dark outside. Once I got in the car I opened the bag and started eating. Well you just never know what flavor you will get when you can't see what color it is. Aaron hates cinnamon ones and i really thought it was funny that it was the only ones he seemed to get. I know it is not too cool to laugh at someone elses discomfort but aaron really was dramatic and would get more mad every time he got a cinnamon flavored one. The simple things in Life! Maybe i was just really tired and loopey- I did have a long day.

Below is a picture that really made me smile. It may be sick and twisted but I really needed a good laugh.

So it is not the best picture, but it is not the worst. The picture was taken by the kids at my school. The journalism class has a newspaper that they publish online. An article in the "Wizard Press" was even published on the national addition of the National High School Journal. They are such talented kids. Anyway if you want to see the article they wrote about me please visit the following website: http://my.highschooljournalism.org/wy/laramie/whs/

I really recomend you take a look at it. Impressive!

Anyway I am feeling better this week, but Aaron caught whatever I had and was sick all this week. We both still have a little bit of junk let over from being sick, but for the most part we are feeling much better.

For those of you who do not live in Laramie. We have been having a very wet week. The last few days we have had all day drizzle with occasional downpours. I am excited however to report that our apartment did not flood. I did have a few panic attacks when it started hailing, but to my relief Aaron left work and checked on the apartment to see if it was okay. Kudos to Aaron boss Kirk for being so flexible with aarons schedule.

Work is still going great and this week we had school picture! And yes I had to get my picture taken as well. I thought I was done with school pictures when I graduated high school, but I guess not! boo! Well the picture was okay. I sat there as they told me to bend your head this way and lean this way and no thats too far. After they were done they asked if the picture was okay and I said it had to be because I was not going to sit and do that again. Ugh! The week flew by and I having been working my butt off trying to get the school ready for open house next week. Cleaning, decorating bulliten boards, organizing......

As for this weekend....well Aarons cousin Matt and his wife leslie (also my really good friends) are in town and hopefully we will be able to visit with them a little. I am sure Aaron will go to the Football game and then spend some time with Chris. We have been trying to spend as much time as possible with him. He leaves in less then two weeks for his Mission in Brazil. Crazy.

Why do they have to leave/My husband is Wonderful

So Sunday we had to say goodbye to one our closest sets of friends, Jane and Garrett. They moved to Ohio because Garrett got excepted to optometry school. We will miss them a lot and I think we will have some spare time on our hand now that they are gone. Poor Aaron doesnt know what to do. Its only been a week, but he is already missing Garrett a lot. poor guy he kind of reminds me of a kid who just dropped his icecream cone on the ground (i have had that happen and it is very disapointing!). Anyway he has been moping around this week and I have got him to promise that we can go to ohio for spring break this year to visit. YAH!

On to the next subject: Aaron is wonderful. He has been really busy at work the last few days and said that we should go on a date. So he showed up after work with a dozen roses for me and then we went to dinner. It was such a nice and thoughtful surprise. I am just so lucky. He also has been taking care of me this week since I have a cold. I think it is just a basic cold, but it still sucks. Aaron also called our landlord this week. We lost all of the food in our fridge (not freezer) because the fridge part stopped working. Well our landlord is buying us a new fridge and aaron is taking me out to dinner again since we dont have any food in the fridge. Well I think he is terribly wonderfull and I dont know what I would do with out him.

Kids are back in school!!!!

Things are going pretty good in laramie this week, just keeping busy. I started my new job at the alternative high school as a secretary and registar, in August as many of you may already know. All the kids started school this week and I am really enjoying it so far. I have decided that i definetely like working with teens better than younger kids. I always thought I would but it has been confirmed this last week. Dont get me wrong, they are definetly not easy children by any means but i really love their different personalities and I think that Heavenly Father is blessing me with the ability to see them as His children and I am able to see that some of their difficulties in their personalities are not because they are bad but because they have not always been treated like children of our Heavenly Father. I just want to mother them all. My heart aches for them. Sorry i just kind of went on a tangent! The weekend forecast of my social life is proving to be too busy for my liking. I think I may have to cut out an activity or two, to make my life more sane. I have found that I really like be social but when i over do it, I either get really sick or really crabby or both (really sick is generally followed by really crabby). I am sure glad that my most adorable hubby is ever forgiving my extreme moodiness. Okay I am not as bad as I say I am but I do have my moments. Well despite being busy I will be happy because my family will be in town. They will be going to the University of Wyoming football game and I will be watching chic flicks and then we will spend some time together. Yipee! Friday Aarons boss is going to throw a end of the summer food bash-aka..bbq- and they never skimp on good eats. I am hungry just thinking about it. drooling actually. lol! Oh yeah! I forgot to mention that I have been off and on sick - like I was at the beginning of the summer- so it has sucked physically the last couple of weeks- but my sister heather baked me cookies and her and ben came over to visit for awhile. It was so sweet. I couldnt really eat the cookies, but aaron sure enjoyed them for me. Ha! I just though it was wonderful and I really do need to thank Heavenly Father for my awesome family. Well I better head off to bed. Excuse all the grammer mistakes. I honestly dont really care whether I forgot a punctuation mark or spelled something wrong. I am too tired to spell check.

Too cute!
