Randomness

Today I am wanting my own home...not that I ever don't want my own home, cause a day doesn't go by that I don't think about it, but today I've been thinking a lot about how nice it would be (I think it is mostly because Ryan's sister Tonya, and her husband Phil came up today and were looking at things to remodel their bathroom- made me want my own bathroom to remodel...:) ). I'm hoping by next spring to early summer we will be able to get into a home. Ryan wants to build one, but I don't know if I'm willing to be homeless for that long (cause frankly who knows how long that could take). Building a home would be nice if you had the money and time to do it. I want to have a fenced in yard for Ethan to play in, and I want a place to plant my flowers- I'm afraid some of them are dying because they don't like living in pots. I also want to be able to paint the walls whatever color I want and decorate however I want. And I miss being able to come home and relax knowing I was in my own home. And I miss my knife set... Ryan and his Dad have almost completed the shed, so most of our stuff is now packed away in their new shed that is the size of a barn almost. :) .Tomorow I am teaching my nine year old class the story of Christ's birth and visit to the America's, and I have this cute activity I did with the children where they made stars out of pipe cleaners and I soaked them in a solution of borax detergent and hot water and they formed crystals- so they get to take home a homemade crystal star ornament to go along with the lesson. They are excited for their ornaments, although doing it as an adult they aren't as cool as I remembered them from when I was a kid- unfortunately as soon as they start to dry they slowly start to turn back to powder and lose their sparkle. I hope the kid's will still like them though. I really like this ward Ryan and I go to (for those reading who are not LDS, our church is divided up into "wards" depending on where you live- that determines when you go to church and to what building). I've begun to make friends finally, and I look forward to going each sunday. Since we no longer live in Twin Ryan wants to go to his parents ward but I've been holding out, and we keep going to the one in Twin, because I like my calling (the children are so fun) and I like having this one thing that is our own- if that makes sense. Ryan wants to switch to his parents, and we probably will in the very near future, but I'm dragging my feet on doing it. We will see how long I can hold out. I like their ward, but I also like where I'm at and the friends I'm making. I've moved enough (6 times in the 3 years we have been married) to know that even with the best intentions it's really hard to keep friends once you move.
Well this is my random post, I hope it wasn't too boring. :)
