Montrose=home?
I can't believe I have been living in Montrose for almost 8 years! Wow! To be honest when I first moved here, I wanted to run away, run far away!
So to accomplish this I was searching jobs, in other places in Colorado. I decided I loved Colorado, but get me the heck out of Montrose. I only ended up getting two interviews and did not get either job! I cried and cried, when I found out I did not get either job. I wanted out of Montrose, in a bad way!
So I started the next school year, mad and sad because I thought I would never meet my husband living in Montrose Colorado and I HATED IT HERE! Besides I had dated the five single men living in Montrose. But thats a whole different story.
So I joked with my principal about hiring a single, and good looking male english teacher to fill the spot that they needed to fill. Well to my surprise, he did! Thank you! A year later I ended marrying this new hot english teacher! Another long story that will have to wait for another day.
So after getting married, we both decided that still the grass was greener on the other side of the fence and we would always be searching the CDE website for jobs elsewhere in Colorado. This lasted for about a year until we started telling people when they asked, that well we are here for now, Unless something better comes along! So evenutually I stopped seeking jobs elsewhere!
We met the Palms and many other great freinds through church, which we are still all freinds with now, we got involved in a home group, and had kids, and decided okay this place is not so bad! Definatly helps to be married with kiddos. I would never suggest living here SINGLE.
Now that I am not teaching and I have two kiddos, lots of freinds, and quite the little community here that feels like family to us, Montrose has become HOME! I love my freinds! I love attending Mops, I love our church! I love that we are so close to Ouray (one of our favorite places!) I started to grow my photography buisness! Olivia has a cousin here.
So the whole point to this post is this. Dan comes home from school one day and tells me, I think we are going to have to MOVE!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I finally realize how much I love this place and my husband mentions the word "MOVE"
Dan is currently seeking a principal position, which would allow me to stay home and be a stay at home mom and we would not have to struggle financially, well not as bad at least. So the search begins for a principal job.
Luckily for me the only way we would move is if we A. Got a job offer somewhere else. and B. we sold the house. Which I am not attached this house, I will gladly move to a new house in MONTROSE! So now we pray that a principal job opens in Montrose, or close by, or pray that God puts us where ever we are supposed to be which I am hoping is right here!

What fills my cup.......
I was just thinking as I just finished reading the parents magazine today, how rejuvinated felt! It's amazing what a little "me" time can do for a girl! So I started thinking about what makes me tick and what fills my cup and what just makes me a happier wife/freind/mommy to be around.
1. Having time to read a magazine, and drink a glass of chai. (uninterupted of course, the kiddos were both sleeping)
2. Being able to cook dinner for family. Having the table set and ready long before dinner is ready to be served. (expecially when I feel appreciated after dinner is done)
3. Silly but time to shave my legs. Uniteruppted time to sit and shave my legs.
4. Bath time...........I love bath time. Expecially in the dark with a candle.
5. Smiles from my kiddos. and love of any kind from them........expecially when Olivia says sweet things to me. Like "your the best mom ever".
6. washing my face at night...........which I am often too exhausted to do. It's usaully pushing it having the energy to brush my teeth.
7. Girl itme. A night out with the girls, to just have some girl conversation.
8. Taking pictures! I love pictures! I am so thankful I can creatively capture life!
9. Although I don't get to do this much anymore, I love to create artwork!
10. Lastly is when my husband helps me........with anything, which he is sooooooooo willing to do, he helps with everything. Usually without me even asking and usually when I do ask he does so without a second thought or complaint!
I wanted to put pics to go with all of these things, but not all of them merrit a pic but to be continued. I will add pics!

Just living life.
waking up everyday............playing with the kiddos..............feeding the baby.........somtimes trying to survive and not lose my sanity over tantrums and the question "why". Always wondering what is next: but also trying to live in the moment..............trying to remember to cherish all time, even when it's crazy, loving having a baby.......praying to see all the blessings of our three year old, (that are sometimes covered with screaming, whining and tantrums.) Always wondering and thinking too much.......trying to focus on what's important.........and praying again to keep my focus on what I am supposed to be thinking about........always a wandering mind.........evil thoughts trying to creep in...........praying again for positive thoughts..........battlefield of the mind...........Out of controll emotions...........will I ever be normal again....what is normal...........I am just a woman............... Wondering what God has next................but trying to live for the day..........wondering if I am doing enough...........wondering if I am a good Mom. ..................so thankful...........thankful........that I am a stay at home mom.......always wanting to be better...........thankful for photo jobs...............thankful for my family, faith and children, and thankful for a God that always provides......... I will just end with that.
