So we are starting to look for land. Somewhere preferably between
Mapleton and Payson. Hopefully as “in the middle of nowhere” as we can get. We
have a 5-year plan now. Kind of…. Buy land and build in 5 years J (Does that count as a
plan?) We started talking about house layouts and decided that we better start deciding
now because we cannot agree on ANYTHING. I keep having to remind Shane that he
is not that one that will be cooking/laundering/cleaning/organizing/etc…. so I
should get more say in the design. He doesn’t like hearing that though.
I have become addicted to Pinterest (look it up!!) and it is
helping me find very efficient, space saving design ideas. Also little crafty
projects that I feel like even I can
do! I’ve already done a couple of things and I really like it. I just wish I
had more time and talent to devote. More money would help too. But there are so
many ways to reuse your crappy old stuff. I am glad now that I saved my baby
food jars! I will say though – I might need some keen design eyes when it comes
time to {hopefully} design a new house…. Ladies…… --- because I surely do NOT
have that keen eye.
Chloe starts preschool on Thursday. I’m taking a half-day so
I can be with her on her first day. She is so excited about it. She keeps
talking about going to school and her teacher and everything. I know she will
do well. I can’t wait to get her little creations and all those other things
they will make.
I FINALLY made a dent --- Shane agreed that if I could find
enough people to watch kids for, that I could do that as an income, rather than
have a job. I would have to be able to find like 4 or 5 kids though BEFORE I could
make any changes. I guess I need to start being more active in my Relief
Society, huh?? But that would be so nice. I could be a present figure in my
kids’ lives!! I wouldn’t have to pay someone else $500/month to watch them! I
could maybe have a clean and organized house!! I have so many dreams….
Anyway, those are just the happenings/dreams for the week.
