What a beautiful day......

What a week it has been without my parents home... Man is it a different feeling to not come upstairs and be able to talk to my parents. My girls come to me everyday and say they miss their Ju Ju  (Aunt Juli) but tell me she is a missionary teaching people, it is quite cute and yes I miss Ju Ju as well but now with my parents gone I hear 2 little ones tell me they miss their Ju Ju and Grandma and Grandpa. This trip for them has been great thus far but we have had the added bonus of Facetime (thanks Apple) and been able to video chat multiple days in a row which we have never been able to before. Its fun for the girls to get to understand where Paris is and for my parents to describe all they have done so far. Cant wait for them to get back. School semester is coming to a close. This weekend with an empty house, parents gone and girls with their dad is going to be filled with finishing the last of the many papers I have written this semester. A quiet house is exactly what I need to accomplish this. Still looking for a job. With school hours trying to find one has been quite hard and will have the availability for the summer but then will have the same problem with classes in the morning 3 times a week and also adding 9 hours a week for my practicum so we will see what happens there. It has been very nice to have 3 full days with just my girls this week. Doesn't usually happen but have really enjoyed it and getting to spend that alone one on one time with the twins

. Have been thinking about my last post and about sharing everything with my mission to become healthy. I decided that I dont want to be that public about it. I feel like its an area for people who dont have my best interest at heart to see a very vulnerable side of me so I have started my own personal journal and when a milestone or great progress has been made I will definitely share. I am trying to become healthy physically and mentally and change some things and be happy with my life and all the things I am grateful to have and to share.

 Received a letter from my sister last week and its crazy how much my little sister inspires me. When things are hard and I am  down she has always been right there to remind me that things are ok and picks me up when I am down on myself. I am so grateful for her and her love. It radiates all the way from Texas and can I add she sends such awesome envelopes. If you know my artistic sister you will know her quirky cartoon style pictures and love looking at all the cute drawings that are posted all over when we receive letters. Today is Beautiful and I cant wait to get to enjoy that. Happy Saturday Everyone:)
