Updates!
Holy cow, it's been forever since I've blogged! I knew it would be hard to keep up, but I didn't think it would be this bad! So, that being said, there have been a few things that have happened this year, that are really awesome!
First and foremost, Aiden turned 1 in October! He is now 15 1/2 months and is so incredible! He walks/runs and will talk your ear off! He knows so many words, like please, cracker, eat (sign and talk!), shoe, and signs "I love you," which is so stinking cute! He knows pretty much all of his body parts and when he gets hurt will bring you the part that hurts to kiss it better : ) He is so incredibly wonderful and brings so much joy to our lives every day!
I finally finished my practicum in October, and since then haven't had to work very much, only about 12-15 hours a week, so I get to spend lots of time with my little boy and I LOVE it!! Last year was so incredibly hard being gone from him so much and missing so many new little things he would do. I was super lucky that he was at least either with Adam or with my cousin MaryAnn, who is now his second mom thank goodness! I would have had a much harder time if it would've been a stranger for sure!
I also finished my master's degree finally! This was such a huge accomplishment for me, and the last semester was the hardest because I was so completely DONE with all of it! I felt like I was squeezing out a tiny hole to get out of there! But it was all worth it, and now I get to go to a Neurofeedback training in LA next week with Adam and Aiden and do some great things with that, which will be really cool. Basically I get to learn how to hook people's brains up to electrodes and their brains train themselves to be higher functioning. Super cool stuff : )
January has been an awesome month for Adam! He started a different master's program in HR at USU and loves it! He is so excited about what he can do with it, and already has huge plans! I'm so proud of him! The other great thing is he got a job! When I had Aiden and we got our foster kid and I was pregnant with Aiden, we decided that he would quit work and be a stay at home dad. Well, that didn't really work so well for him, he's much too much of a doer, so sitting around all day wasn't the best : ) He got a job at Dixon that was from November to May of last year when school ended, and then the job was not there anymore. Then in September he got a job at UVU in their athletics dept, but only worked a few hours here and there, and that went away in December when he got done with the semester. But now he's working at Property Solutions with his brother McKay and loving it already! He has so many awesome plans and ideas, and again I'm so proud of him!
We also went on a really really really AWESOME trip in December, but that'll be a different post, cuz this one's already way long! : ) Thanks for reading!
But in the meantime, a couple pictures
