Mosiah 2:41

"And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true; for the Lord God hath spoken it."

I'm Fired!!!

Well, I have NOT been fired from my job, however, I feel I ought to fire myself from attempting to be a blogger! I'm terrible at this, and I must apologize for my short comings! But here's my thing, when I get on the computer, I have a tendency to be on for a long, long time! I get lost in cyberworld! My solution, I avoid the computer! Leading to my failures as a blogger! It's a vicious cycle! My other problem, I'm not a super fast typer so that takes longer, also deterring me from my blog. And yet another problem, I'm very particular, at least I try to be particular, about my wording and grammar. In which case, I put a lot of time into what I write. Leading to the "long, long time" spent on the computer. Vicious, vicious cycle! Oh! here's one more problem to add: I don't feel like we lead the most exciting lives to blog about! Work, school, work, school... BORING!! I'm just laughing at myself as I write this... yet another issue, if something exciting does happen, we never have a camera to document it cuz the batteries are usually dead!!!
**I know some of you are laughing at the word "cuz" and a link to the comment I just made about my particular notice of wording and grammar... but that is one word I don't care about- as far as I'm concerned, it's in the Dictionary of Corinne and that's good enough for me!! Besides, it's so much easier than writing "because" all the time! Too formal for me!**
Back to my excuses... I have no more, at least not at the moment!! So here's to our not so exciting lives...
Morgan is in school and working. He's taking Math 1050, Chemistry 1220 and Human Physiology. Yikes! Yeah, it's been a rough semester for me! ME, you ask? Yes, I'm the one suffering here!! I never see him anymore! It's a hard knock life for me!! When there are no classes and no work, he's usually on campus studying. However, I am very proud of his dedication to studying. And very impressed! I am trying really hard to be supportive and encouraging, but I find it difficult, A LOT! If I were him, I'd cave... fast! But he's doing a great job. So far, he's made good grades on some very difficult tests. All as a result of his hard work and diligence! Not a bad beginning to the semester! And how sad is this, we've already figured out how long till the end of the semester!
We are super excited for the holidays! The plans: Thanksgiving with the Beede Family and Christmas with the Jenkins Family. And somewhere around Christmas we'll make our way to Vernal to have more Beede time! I can't wait for all the family time and festivities!!! We haven't been to Cali since we got married... almost a year!!! Can you believe it? I can't! This is the longest time I've spent away from home and it has been very, very HARD! My only survival has been Morgan, Tanna & Jeremy and the kids and Morgan's family in Vernal! I'm glad to have his family close. It's still far enough away that it really is a vacation when we go and a whole lot more feasible than trekin' to California. And, luckily, we've had the opportunity to go to Vernal a few times this year. And I LOVE living like 2 miles from J& T! It's great! The kids are my pick-me-up on bad days (when Morg isn't here) and when I'm bored (consequently, also when he's not here). And Morgan... he's my lifesaver, my biggest pick-me-up! I just love him!! Family is great... Life's greatest blessing!
So Christmas... I've have already started the Christmas shopping... not just for me!! hehe! I figured with all the time I have on my hands, with Morg being gone a lot, I should get a head start. It's so fun! But that's all I'll say about the gifts... no hints!! And I do have to say that it has got me so stinkin' excited for the holidays. I can't wait to decorate and bake and listen to the fun music and decorate and eat festive treats and decorate!! Ooo! I can't wait! The one big thing I could do without is the snow, which I hate to say, is coming this weekend! Eek! Enough about that, it makes me cranky!! Well, some things I am enjoying about the change in seasons are the fall colors. They are so pretty! The leaves changing, the crisp air, the pumpkins, my sweatshirts- I love them, the Corn Maze, ahh... Autumn! We went to the corn maze on Wednesday with our friends and had so much fun! It made me really want corn though! Anyway, Fall is great!
Well, that's the latest on us. My apologies for not updating regularly. Hope all is well with everyone! My goal is to be back in less than a month... Baby steps...

Thanks for the update Corinne!!! I understand about not blogging so much when it's just the 2 of you and you're both busy with school and work. Back when I was working, I used to laugh at my sister who had a blog. I'd comment about how I didn't have the time for stuff like that! Ya, and look at me now!!! :) I think it just takes having a kid to get you going! The majority of my posts are about Madi! So maybe you should work on that first- then worry about blogging!! :) Glad to hear that you guys are doing good! Way to Go Morgan on doing so well in school! I'm with you on loving this time of time!!! i love the fall! I'm just sad that it looks like we won't be coming home for Christmas. Plane tickets are way to expensive!! We'll be coming out in the summer FOR SURE though!! Just remember that I'm only a phone call away! Miss you and love you guys!!!!
