Leaving for a while....

Well, we have to cancel our internet for a few months to save some money. So, of course that means I can't write anything on my blog for a while, which makes me sad, because even if nobody reads it, I enjoy writing about things in my life. When we can get the internet again (and we both REALLY want to keep it) I will definately be back to post some more blogs.



On a lighter note, I have decided to audition for the Colorado Symphony Orchestra Choir!! The auditions are in a week, and I already have a song I would like to do. It has to be an opera or an aria of some kind. I will do "Ave Maria" by Franz Schubert. I am very excited about this oportuntiy, and I hope I make it into the choir. It is a HUGE choir! It consists of 245 members, and it is amazing when you hear them sing. I have been putting off my passion for music for way too long. I knew I wanted to sing in a choir, but not just any choir will do for me...I need a dang good choir!! So, if I make it, I will be a very happy girl. Next time I get on here to post, I will let you know if I made it or not...it will probably be in a month or 2.

Wadsworth without the "wads"

I just wanted to say something really quick about how people who are taking your information over the phone are frustrating. You know, like updating your info over the phone for your doctor's office or verifying your name for some type of account. They ask you for your first and last name, and I always hate it, because my last name is not that hard at all but they make it hard. It never ceases that they miss spell my last name. I spell it out and I even say "S as in snake, and N as in Nancy" But they never get it right. I finally figured out that sometimes...sometimes they get it if I say "You know, like Wadsworth but without the 'Wads'...and put in 'Ains'"

Women's Retreat

I just got back from a women's retreat yesterday. We stayed in a beautiful lodge in Monument Colorado located on the side of a mountain. I feel so refreshed. I needed this retreat not only to just get away from the kids and daily life, but I needed it to cleanse my soul. A few posts ago I wrote about something that has been giving me heartache, and had made me bitter and sad. I feel like I was just in a deep hole and could not see the light. But after this last weekend, I can see the light. God is so awesome and faithful. I know He is there for me, and I just need to put it all on Him. He knows what I am going through, and I know there will be changes coming soon. I also learned from this experience, that I need to change some things about myself...big time. I thank God for all of the wonderful women He has placed in my life. They are so full of knowledge, and they are so full of love. I am glad to call them my sisters.

It's been a while!

I haven't posted anything for a few weeks. I can't believe how these weeks are flying by! Each day is going by so fast, which is weird, because usually when I am at home with the boys, the days take forever! Not lately though! Lucas starts pre-k on September 2nd. I am pretty excited for him. It will be good for him to get out of the house for 4 days out of the week and be with other kids his age, and learn new things and play on an awesome playground. It will also be good for my sanity, because he is getting at that age where he drives me crazy and he just needs something else to do!

On a different note, Josh and I have been tossing an idea back and forth about moving to the UK next year. It has been a big topic of discussion lately, and I keep going back and forth as to weather I would like to do it or not. Right now, I am wanting to do it! But I will probably change my mind in a week or so!! Moving over seas is a MAJOR thing. It would be through Josh's work that we could do it. He works for Raytheon. They would help us move and help find housing and even a school for Lucas over there. The city is called Harrogate. I've looked online for stuff about it and it looks wonderful! I don't know. It would definitely be a chance in a lifetime, and we would get to do so many things there that not many people get to do! So, I'll keep you updated on what is going on with that.

Well, not much else to say I guess. I get to go on a women's retreat this weekend and I cannot wait! I really really need this! It will be refreshing.

Can you guess?

Cindy Crawford's kids, one is a boy, but can you guess which one?

I want a dog

Yes. I want a dog sooooo bad I cannot stand it. I even know what kind I want, a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. Let me give you a little bit of the background of my pet history. I grew up with cats mostly, because my mom didn't like dogs for the longest time. I had the best kitty named Oliver when I was a little girl. He followed me everywhere, and "helped" me with my homework. Then we got a puppy. It was my junior year in high school. She was a little yellow lab, and we named her Aspen. There has never been a better dog on the face of this earth than she was. She did everything. She was so well behaved, and she loved our family very much. Then I went to college and couldn't have pets for a while, but my junior year in college I got a dog for free that I saw in the newspaper. He was part husky part German shepherd, and his name was Bear. I LOVED him! He would sleep in my tiny twin bed with me and I loved it. But he died while my friend Elaina was watching him for a week. We still don't know why to this day. He was only 2 years old...I cried my eyes out. Fast forward to after I had been married for a while, my husband caved in and let me get a puppy. She was a purebred Australian Shepherd. I named her Layla, and she was mine! All mine! I took her on walks all of the time. People commented on how beautiful she was all of the time. Then I got pregnant with Lucas, and we were in a small one bedroom apartment, so I gave her to my uncle to watch for a while until we moved somewhere better. Well, while he was gone one afternoon, the neighbors dog was "playing" with Layla and took her in his mouth by her collar, and broke her neck. Yeah. So, of course I cried my eyes out when I found that out. I got a cat that I named Peanut while we were first married too, and eventually had to give him away because we found out Lucas was allergic to him. Then I FINALLY got a dog again. We were in a good house, with a good yard...what could possibly ruin this? Well, we just recently discovered that my son Ethan is allergic to dogs. He was breaking out in hives. So, we had to give her away too. So now, here I am. The biggest animal lover in the world, and I can't have any. Josh let me get fish....big whoop. I go up to the tank and say "honey, look, the fishy is looking at me!" Josh just looks at me like I am crazy! So....I want a dog. I have done research and they have "hypoallergenic" dogs, and soft coated wheaten terriers fit into that category. So, I am hoping some day I can get one...or two, and keep them and love them for the rest of their looong lives.
