The Mind is Everything

I know, I know...

I have basically disappeared from the blogging world. I think about blogging, I have whole list of ideas for post but no motivation.

Writers block?

Blog Burnout?

I'm pretty sure it is a combination of the above, and the hustle and bustle of life. The kids are getting bigger the days of being at home and watching WAY to many episodes of Winnie the Pooh are gone.

I know that you have heard me grumble, complain, and whimper about this subject far too many times. Which I think is another reason to add to the reasons why,  I am not blogging.

To much complaining!

Once again I need to stress the point I HAVE NOTHING TO WHINE ABOUT!

Which leads to the question, "What the heck is my problem?"

Well the list is plentiful but in the long run it has come down to priorities. This little blog has just not been a priority. Instead I spend my limited free time engrossed in a challenging game of Suduko. Yes, friends I have abandoned my blog for Suduko.

Sometimes the truth is just plain sad.

Don't feel to bad for me. In between the Suduko games I work, take care of my family, go to school, AND count down the days until I am done. March 22nd marks the official ending date for my bachelors degree. On the 22nd of March 2012 I will have a degree and a license.

Crazy!! I can honestly say I never really believed I would finish school and now I am counting down my final year.

I am a Senior in College.

So weird how anti-climatic that feels.

Meanwhile, as I count down this final year I am preparing to take three BIG test. Two are required for my degree and teaching license. The third is required for Grad school.

Yup, grad school. Seems that now days a bachelor's degree is all fine and good but as an educator they want you to have a Masters. So there is little point in getting to excited about being done with school.

It seems as if I am only finishing one degree in order to start the next. Although, I am pretty excited about the Masters program I want to join. I am looking at getting my masters in Technology Curriculum with an emphasis in Library Science.

I will learn how to design and integrate technology into the curriculum. Now days a lot of the technology research skills are being taught by school librarians. When I think of my ideal job I think it would be a blast to work in a school library.

The masters degree would combine all of my passions reading, technology, and research.  Meaning, don't feel to bad for me NOT really being done with school, because I'm pretty excited about the next step.

I'm getting a little ahead of myself but a popular Buddha quote says, "All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become."

That is the main reason that I continue to blog. This blog helps me to articulate all of my thoughts and all of those things that I want to become.  Even though I don't always do the things I say I will do on this blog I find myself more focused as I write down and share what I want to happen.

Well, I have exhausted myself with this long post. I hope that life is finding you all happy and healthy and hearts full of prayers for the people of Japan.

Love,

Krissi

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Biking 45 Miles!

Tomorrow or Today depending on which day you read this post I will be riding my bike 45 miles. Registering for the ride has made this journey to ride my bike 100 miles very real.  Since tomorrow will probably be one of my last rides indoors I have decided to Twit about it. I'm not quite sure how my body is going to react to 45 miles and almost 3 hours on a bike. I'm pretty sure my head is going to be yelling bad words at me, at best. I'm sure there is going to be a lot of, this is crazy, what are you doing to yourself.  By Twitting about it I am going to feel a whole lot more accountable to get the ride done. Especially, if I feel there is any chance that people are logging on to see where I'm at and how it is going. If your feeling inclined I should be on the bike by 1pm Mountain time Friday the 27th. Check it out and make sure I survive! 

"Laughing All the Way"

Most of the year Brent lives a pretty quiet existence. He goes about his own business with out the world taking much notice, to what he is up to and what he is doing. However, when the snow starts falling, the neighbors start laughing. Brent has become the neighborhood novelty. The funny guy on the corner. The, "Can you believe that Brent was outside, in the snow, shoveling, while in his sandals." Yes you read that correctly. While I refuse to buy boots, because I don't live where it gets cold and snows, and one needs boots. Brent simply does not wear said boots. Unless, he is going to work and HAS to. To the neighbors this is Brent. A few have tried to explain to him the core differences between living in California and Utah. Like, say, wearing actual shoes while shoveling. Oh, and hey, a coat! Brent's California brain has not excepted these facts. In fact, he claims that his sandals have better traction. "Big Sigh," it is nice to know your husband ...
