Worn. Stressed.

Ever had the feeling that you have taken on too many things all too quickly! Well, I can raise my hand for everyone! Because, in the last two weeks it has all piled on!

I started, made & finished a montage for the Young Woman Evening of Excellence night in my ward. I had wanted to do it for a while but it came faster than I thought especially after October being filled with vacations. I had 3 days to gather 2 pictures from every YW & find out their favorite temple! I worked a good 11 hours straight on it one day and another 10 between the other 2 days. It was really awesome & I loved the EFY 2013 songs I used. 

The next project I have known about but in a way procrastinated until now when I can be more diligent without so many vacations going on. 

Story time!

Makenzie Maughan has been one of my friends since I can remember. She was doing dance when I was a kid so I had to do it. Mind you I was very uncoordinated but I still did it. Makenzie stopped to do 4H and Posse. 

She has conquered her dreams and ambitions with Rodeo! I have to say it is awesome to see your friends work and succeed in their goals! 

Makenzie was crowned as Miss Rodeo Utah 2013 in February & she began the lady in waiting program since MRU 2012 made Miss Rodeo America 2013 in December. 

Okay... So in August/September Makenzie called me right as I was telling my mom how much I missed seeing her & how I want to do something to help her! I guess the night before Kenzie and her mom were trying to think of someone who could do her scrapbook for Miss Rodeo America in December! That is when I got called & I was so thrilled to do it! 

So far, I have knocked out a lot but it's not done so the crunch is happening & hoping that Kenzie will like it! Although, if one thing is certain she is such a gorgeous woman! I love looking at the pictures and the joy she naturally has about her!

Good Luck Miss Rodeo Utah!

With crazy projects there is still a house to be cleaned, a husband to be fed, a Nala to be fed & a tired Maggie at the end of it all. 

I will be honest though Kelly has asked me what my plans are on Fridays! Which secretly that means "your going to stay home & clean right!".. My response isn't always nice but he is patient with my crazy hours of dance, work and projects! 

 

Stressed.

Kelly has been worried for his promotion test that will put him back to where he was in SLC! Since he had to drop to move to Ogden. He has studied and studied! So much in fact he talks to me about vent connectors in his sleep! 

On top of his promotion is our debate about selling our home. I know I know you are probably thinking "What! Why?" Well, they are going to be widening 4000 south from 2 lanes to 5 lanes with a median. We have been flip flopping about what we should do! We know they would buy our land but it's something I was hoping wouldn't happen for another 8 years! Sadly, they have the plans and want to start construction in about 3 years.

It's hard to leave something that I have grown to love so much. We barely closed on our home a little over a year ago! We have done so much since then & have so much left that we wanted to do! In fact my heart breaks by thinking about it! Maybe because this was the place I met Kelly, the place I fell in love with him, laughed, cried, danced and sang. These walls hold too many memories & giving that up is something I don't know I am up for doing.  

It will be something that I will post more about later.. But for now I will catch some much needed Z's! 

PS. I ran tonight on the treadmill, I am so going to feel crappy tomorrow! Darn working out! Hate it!
