Sundays are always bitter sweet. I love having the whole day with my family. I always try to make a nice breakfast and I'll make bread so it can be ready for dinner. Then we go to church which is always wonderful. But then towards the end of the day you remember the next day is monday and that you have to go back to work for another week. It should be illegal to have to work when you're a mom...leaving my little guy is the hardest thing. It just doesn't seem to get any easier as he gets older. He's just so fun and playful in the morning. And then it breaks my heart to hear him cry as I leave to go to work. Okay, i'm done with my pity party.
Today our family went to an english ward! It's been a while since i've been to church in english. We've been considering it for a while but we really hate to leave our spanish ward. We've been talking about it though and we think it'll be good for our family to immerse ourselves in as much english as possible. Mostly for Joel. I obviously speak english pretty well :) We live in Lacey 3rd ward boundaries but we got our times a little mixed up and ended up attending Lacey 6th ward today. It was a nice ward :) Next week we'll get it right.
Joel and I really want to buy a house! He also really wants to join the army. Though joining the army wouldn't be my first choice it has been something that he has consistently expressed interest in. He's very excited about it and will be taking the entrance exam in about a month. I'm being supportive :) So we're going to wait to buy a house. If he takes the test and doesn't receive a score that allows him to have a satisfactory job (i.e. not infantry) then we'll go forward with the military and I will become an army wife. My family has always been in the army so i'm used to the lifestyle. Otherwise we'll stay here in Washington and buy a house!
I've been halfheartedly studying for the LSAT. Since it's a practice test I kind of want to go in "blind" just to see where my strengths are and what areas I need to focus on. I'm pretty excited about it. I feel like i'm finally reaching some of my goals!
Brian is finally saying a few words clearly and associating them. Like "mama". He used to just mumble that to everyone. Now he is saying "mama" very clearly and understanding that I'm mama! I love it! He's a late talker so it's exciting to finally hear him call me mama. My mom watches him while I work and speaks to him in Korean all day, then Joel speaks to him in Spanish and I speak to him in English. He's been a little confused.
For the past month or so i've been rehearsing for a multi-stake musical review. It has been a lot more time consuming than I thought! We've been rehearsing on Saturday's and now we're rehearsing even longer so we can get everything together before the show opens. It's been a lot of fun though. I haven't performed in a show since high school. The performances are going to be the the last week of July and the first week of August. If you're in the area make sure you plan on coming, it's going to be a great show!
