Goals Goals Goals...

I've realized lately that in order for me to get anything done I must set goals for myself with strict timelines.
I guess it's because I've been so busy lately I forget to do things. However this past week one thing has hit me super hard and it kind of depresses me. I have been out of high school for 4 years now which means this would have been the year I would be graduating from college. I would have my bachelors degree if I would have just sucked it up and yet.
Now wait don't get me wrong I absolutely LOVE my life, I have a fantastic husband and two little boys who own my heart! I just feel like all I need now to complete my life is a job, not just any job though, I want to get my degree in nursing so I can have the job I've wanted since I was a little girl. So this is my new goal that I am going to set for myself. 
By the time I have been out of high school for 10 years I want to have my bachelors degree in nursing. I don't care what school I get it from I just want to accomplish this goal and be able to work!! So that gives me 6 years from right now to complete this task. I already have some classes complete so now it's time to buckle down and get the rest done. I keep updating where I am at and hopefully this goal I can fulfill and hopefully I can complete it sooner than I am anticipating. 
So here goes everything full time school with a toddler and a newborn. If you don't hear from me for the next 6 years that is why!

Already a month?

What??? It's already been 4 weeks? Where has time gone, I promise you just yesterday I was sitting in the hospital, in pain might I add, getting ready to have this precious new baby! 
I cannot believe my little Avery is already four weeks old! So much has happened over the past 4 weeks that time really has flown by. For one, I haven't gotten very much sleep but honestly it hasn't seem to have been affecting me much! Tae keeps me pretty busy! 
Avery is doing so much more these past few days! He is starting to become more alert and actually looks at you when you talk to him! He can kind of hold his head up when he is laying on my tummy! AND he sleeps for a stretch of 5 hours at night! I cannot complain about that!
And now for the shocker!!! I took him to his 4 week check up and this little stinker weighs...get ready!!
8 pounds 13 ounces!
That is an increase of a pound and a half in TWO weeks. I thought he didn't eat that much but I guess he eats plenty!!! He is officially out of his newborn clothes, which makes me a little depressed because I have to pack them all up and sell them now. No more babies for us :( 


Ahh I just love love love him so much!
