Baby Nathellia!
So... I anticipate blogging a lot this summer and want to put a bunch of pictures on here of our journey with Nathellia so far, but I am very tired at the moment and need to go feed her and get her ready to sleep. I hope she sleeps well tonight cause I am very exhausted today even though I didn't do much. Anyway... here's one picture of our baby girl... many more to come (hopefully).

I guess it's time for another update. Honestly, I like to blog, but I never take the time to do it. I decide to clean the kitchen or read everyone's FB statuses or read other blogs and then I am usually off to do something else. Anyway, I feel like blogging right now. I don't have any pics to upload cause I am using my new computer that I have yet to connect to our Drobo, which is basically a little server that I could acess with all my pics on it... need to do that someday. Long story short, my pics are on those hard drives and not this one. Thinking of technology... sometimes it all just annoys me and other times I really enjoy all the computers, internet, hand held gadnets, etc. that we have. It's a love hate thing for sure.
So it's 2011! And January is half over. Wow! Last year at this time I was about half way done with my masters program and counting down the days to Hawaii. Now Nate and I are counting down the days to another exciting event and attempting to prepare for that. I am amazed at how quickly life moves sometimes and yet it all works out just the way it's supposed to. I love that I can look back on things knowing I have been blessed so much and trust that the future holds many more blessings. There are those moments that we feel a bit overwhelmed due to work and 'to do' lists. Nate's preparing for the 2 classes he is going to begin teaching this week. Adobe Flash and Adobe Photoshop. He's doing this on top of his IT job and working at Best Buy a few hours a week... he's awesome and I hope I can be encouraging to him as I know it's a lot to do.
I have been looking into the opportunity to teach English through some online courses and may go to a training for that soon, but it is taking a while to get things rolling. Someday I want to try online teaching and teaching English online a few hours a week now may help me decide if I would really like that kind of teaching. So we'll see where that goes and if it develops into anything interesting.
Beyond these somewhat random thoughts... I have this idea in my head to make it a habit to have people over to our house for dinner or desserts or games or whatever at least once a month, but it hasn't happened like I have wanted and it sure hasn't been once a month. So maybe one of my 2011 goals will be to invite people over more and make it a point to fellowship with our friends more often. Another goal I have is to stay on top of work and not get behind. I have had 1 week back with students, and so far, I'm doing good, but can just see myself getting lazy and letting those papers and data charts pile up and wait for the end of the quarter before I do much with them. Speaking of work, I went to Staples today to buy some stuff my students use and I was getting low on or have run out of... $70 later I have stuff for them to use now until the end of the year. $70!? Office supplies should not cost $70. I was just glad I had an LPO to use to buy it all... markers and paper should not cost that much money. At least I have stuff for them now and don't have to keep borrowing from others.
