Update

So just to update everyone on how things are. School has started off pretty rough, but now I think it is getting better. I finally understand my way around to figureing out my assignments. Andrew is doing great, today I bought a soccor ball, plastic baseball, plastic bat, and a couple of frisbes. We went ouside to play today, to take advantage of the warm weather. Andrew enjoyed hitting the ball with the bat and chasing after the soccor ball, even riding his tonka truck up and down the driveway. His favortie time was trying to sneak out to the road. We all had so much fun. I recently got a babysitting job in Harrisville. I am so excited she is a cute almost three year old girl. The best part is I get to earn money while being with andrew and he gets a playmate. I couldn't ask for more, it;s perfect. The little girls mom is close to my age and we seem to have a lot in common. This is going to be great. Mike is still working at the same wal-mart but he is thinking once again about moving back to brigham. I don't know how well thats going to work. But it would be nice so we can be closer to our friends and his family who is going though some major changes currently. Well I guess thats all. hopefully soon I'll be able to get more pictures up.

Welcome

Hey everyone thank you for visiting my new blog. Well to start off I am going to let you know what has been going on. On September 25, 2007, my son, Andrew Michael Waters was brought into this world. Which was such an amazing experience. Andrew is now 17 months old, very healthy, and extremely busy. He is my whole world. In June 2008 Mike, Andrew, and I moved into an apartment in Clearfield, as a result to my promotion. My job was going well until Andrew got sick and we couldn't figure out what was wrong. I took him to the doctor a total of 6 times in one month, with new symptoms each time. Well nothing serious was wrong in fact I still don't really now what was wrong. He got better but not soon enough, as a supervisor for walmart its hard to miss work without someone noticing. I ended up losing my position and was asked to step down, also losing the pay. The last couple of months in our apartment where extremely hard. We made to much to qualify for help, but still couldn't afford to pay all of our bills on time. So once our lease was up we all moved back into my parents house in Syracuse, December 2008. After we moved I decided to leave walmart and be a stay at home mom for awhile so I could spend more time with Andrew while looking into college. I currently am still at home not working, but I do have a morning paper route to bring in a little extra. March 2, 2009 I started class at the university of phoenix. Uop is an online school and so far so good, in fact I have been getting great responses from my instructors. With all this positive feedback my confidence has grown. I am currently doing two general classes for the first 9 weeks, then hopefully I will be starting my psychology courses. As some of you know I like to get into others business and also like helping others solve their life's problems. I feel that counseling would be a great career choice (especially relationships) and maybe even taking my education even further later down the road. With the way the economy is, i think that counseling would be a good career to get into. Times are getting tough and its taking a toll on relationships, which could result in more break ups and divorce. I want to be there to help them through it so they can stay together, be happy, and stronger then before. Mike is a little worried about my career choice, mostly because he thinks that I will critique our own relationship. I have to admit at the moment its not the best but we are working on it. This July we will have been together for 5 years, we are talking about getting married but it is still aways away. We are still young and have a lot to learn before making that big of a commitment. I know I know we have already made a huge one by bringing a child into this world and we don't want to make it harder by getting married until we are sure. I don't want to fall into the style these days get married like five times in 8 years. I want to be married for a lifetime. That's why we are waiting until we are grown enough to handle it. So pretty much life is good. Andrew is a very smart little boy, he is learning American Sign Language, learning one to three signs a week and recognizing their meanings. He loves to run around outside, as long as he is outside he is completely happy. His favorite movies are wall-e, cars, and High School Musical 2. He is also Mr. independent, he can get into his high chair by himself, walk (yes walk) up the stairs as long as there is something to hold on to, and he loves, loves, loves to push buttons, and answer the phone. While I am doing house work Andrew will try and help, he likes to sweep, pick up toys and put them in the basket, and carry in the groceries. Andrew is the happiest kid I know, We are very lucky to have him. Andrew is positively perfect.
