Update

So life has been pretty ho drum at The Blauer's. We have just been going to school and Josh has been working. We both got new callings in church so that is exciting. Josh is the Sunday School teacher for the youth, he just barely got called so he does 't know what it will be like. I got called to be the primary chorister. This calling is so much fun, I forgot about how much I love music and teaching kids new songs is fun. It blows my mind how little songs they know so each week I teach them a new song. They are going to get overwhelmed, but they will know the songs dang it! I get stressed that I will bore the kids so my teaching ideas are pretty elaborate. I might have to tone it down. I just love my calling so much though.

Our other exciting news is that we are so close to being Foster parents. We have one thing left before we are approved! The state has already said we are good and can have up to 3 children in our home. Now our letters of recommendations just need to come-in and we are ready! I just cannot wait to get a phone call saying their is a kid who needs us!

Project

So I finally got around to doing some of the projects that have been waiting on for a while. This is an old record I found. I love funny girl so I wanted to display it.  I measured it out and it was 12 1/2 by 12 1/2 so I had to buy a bigger frame and I just cut out the ribbon for decoration. I am so excited to hang it up in my theater room.

Project

So I have been trying to figure out what to do with Josh's favorite CD inserts.  He wanted to keep them, but I was sad that he did not get to see them. So I came up with this idea.  I bought the frame and just pulled out the piece of paper that comes with it.  I painted it orange and then got the corner picture tabs, as to not ruin the inserts. There you have it an awesome way to display them! I am excited to see what it will look like on the wall.

Adoption/ Foster care update

Today I realized that it has been over a year since we started this adoption process. Now we are going to become foster parents, and I just cannot believe how fast the time has gone. School (and life) will do that to you. I am just so ready to be a mom, but I can wait until it is my turn I just need to practice patience.  I am excited to get the foster care classes over with so that will can be official foster parents and get children placed with us!

New things

So it is Sunday and so I went to church.  Today was the primary program and that was an adventure! I am pretty exhausted those sunbeams will keep you on your toes. I really do not know if I am suppose to be talking about this yet, but unofficially they are changing my calling to primary chorister. It will be exciting to get to have a new calling, and I have never really done anything with music church-wise, and i always thought the primary chorister would be fun, so here is to a new adventure. I am excited and nervous about it. Josh also got released from his Young Men's calling today, and now he is calling-less, but we will see how long that will last. 

Update

I haven't posted for a while because nothing exciting has been happening recently. We both have started school. I am a little stressed about my program, because it is going to be a lot of hard work and finding interpreters to shadow and all that scary stuff. Now instead of a B- I am going to have to receive a b or higher. I hope I can do it!
I spent the two weeks Josh was at A.T. in Burley helping my mom and Mother-in-law do some cleaning projects it was fun! That was pretty much a whole month worth of things I did. I have been pretty boring lately. We are in Burley for Labor day and we are going to jet ski and go 4-wheeling.  There was a tornado warning today, and now I know that my phone gets alerts when I am in an area where there is a warning.
In two weeks we get to go to Lagoon, we are trying to get the last out of this good weather.  Hopefully we will get some good pictures this weekend that I can post. 

Introducing

We got a new puppy! He is a pure breed Shih Tzu and we love him so much. I forgot how much work a puppy is, but it is not to bad we are enjoying the fun we are having with him. It is taking Bean and Ender a while to get use to him, but they are making good progress. We named him Zeddikus Zu'l, nicknamed Zedd, I know it is a mouthful, but like our other dogs he is being named from a book, The Sword of Truth series.
