- SCHOOL - School is super hard but I am loving it and am so thankful I am able to attend. I have decided to get my BS in Computer Science and feel like this is the way for me to hopefully start a great career. I'm a little bit worried that I'm not "geeky" enough to understand it all but so far I am loving it and am doing really well in all my classes. I have 16 credit hours this semester so it is a lot, but like I said, I am so thankful for it. My kids go around saying "WEBER STATE, WEBER STATE, GREAT! GREAT! GREAT!"
- WORK - My job with ATK has already came to an end. It was interesting and neat to see how they build airplane parts and such, but it wasn't the best environment and the job was very boring, so I'm glad it's over. Towards the end I was barely putting in 20 hours a week so my finances are lacking big time and I have bit the bullet and got a full time job. I have been offered a job back in the ICS department of the LDS Church and should be starting any day now (stupid paperwork and such). I LOVE working for the church and am excited to be back among some dear friends. I will be doing Data Governance and am excited to get some experience with databases. I hate that I have to spend so much time away from my kids, but this is life right now. They get to go to my mom's so WHAT A BLESSING! I don't know what I would do without my awesome family.
- BEING A SINGLE MOM - This is the really sad part. I've been a single mom for some time, but now it's official. I don't know what to say about this other then I am completely heartbroken beyond words and feel like a complete failure, but am learning you just can't control some things in life and have to just always do your best and trust in the Lord, and that's what I'm doing. I love my kids and am SO SO thankful everyday for them. I hate that they already have had to endure so much at their young ages, but they are most definitely choice spirits and I'm so lucky to have them in my life. That's all I am going to blog about this, but if you want more details shoot me an email or something (I don't have my cell anymore...working on getting a new one soon).
- MORE KIDNEY PROBLEMS - 3 more infections and 2 stones in the past 3 months, but not too bad. I am thankful everyday I actually feel good and we take advantage of those days as much as possible.
That's about it. I'm so very thankful for the wonderful family and friends who do so much for me. I hate to ask for help, and hate even more that i need it, but man am I thankful that so many are willing to help me. I am so blessed.

Mandy, I love you.
Love ya mandy! Let me know if there's anything I can do. I love that pic of cannon pulling his face down. It's hilarious. You have beautiful kids.
Mandy! I haven't been on blogspot since last July and was just catching up on all my friends blogs when I read this post of yours... what happened between you and Curtis? If you don't mind me asking? You are one amazing person! And I want you to know you are in my prayers. Love ya. Kychelle

Hey Mandy - I hope you get this. If not, I'll write another comment on a more recent post!
I've tried to keep our blog updated but really hadn't read other people's in awhile so I had no idea about you being a single mom. :(
I'm so sorry, Mandy. I'm glad you were able to get a job with ICS again--we're actually just up the road from Riverton - I need to come for lunch sometime or something!
Anyhow, you look like you're very busy being a wonderful mom. I don't think you can spend time feeling like a failure--life happens and everyone just tries their best.
Thanks for being a great friend to me while I worked for the church. Good luck with everything too - I'll try to stay more updated and post comments when I check people's blogs!
Love,
Jasmyn
