So I started school last Saturday! 8 Hrs of class... was intense! My Head feels like its going to explode with all of the information I'm trying to put in it. It's actually a lot harder than I thought it was. But that's okay, because I like a good challenge, & I'm finally getting something done! I already have a exam I'm suppose to take today. So my day will end up.... Study, Study, Study, Read, Go to School and take test. Plus add in unexpected bathroom trips from Brenton laying on my bladder, and lunch. I still have to do today's reading of 4 chapters! Blahh! And still look into my advanced cpr class I have to have under me. Which we were informed its a 6 hr class! Plus I need to look into what shots I need in order to do my internship. I'm suppose to also think of what kind of office I want to do my internship in. Alan wants me to do a specialty field because they make double the money. So we are thinking of Orthodontics because I'm dealing with less sick people.

*

Alan has been busy with work. He got promoted in August. They trained him and got him certified as a Network Switch technician. Which means more money and better opportunities for job growth. By the time we leave Utah Alan will have 2 years experience under him. Even though its not a field he wants to get into, it will still be nice for a back up job if we ever need it. So far hes already gotten 2 raises! Which we are not complaining about. Alan is going to take some independent study courses to makeup the classes he needed to at the Y. Hes quitting MiMis come Feb/March. And going back to school full time come spring semester and working just at Nortel. By April I hope to be working finally! I will only have to work 32 hrs if that to insure we live comfortable. Your probaly wondering how we will juggle this all with a Baby. Well Alan usually does all of his classes in 2 days. So obviously I wont work those days. And he doesn't work at Nortel until 3pm, its usually pretty dead so he gets his homework and studying done there. So Ill just work 3-4 days a week, early in the morning (6am) to around 2pm come home and he will be off to work. So technically we would both have weekends off to spend as a family.

*

We are all Moved in and the unpacking has began! But it will have to wait until studying, homework and class is done. I feel like I got a good start to it. Although its going to take me a while to go through everything. Ill take some pics this weekend of the outside and a update on tiffany pregnant! 27 weeks this Saturday!!! So crazy! Anyways back to studying!!!

These Quotes are so fitting for Our Lives Right Now. This week is a Crazy & Hectic one for The Thorpe Family. On Wednesday we begin to move all of our Small things to our new Home. Don't worry we will still be in Provo just across town is all! We are moving into a cute townhouse. 3 floors, 3 bedrooms, and a 1 Car Garage. Friday Night My Father In Law arrives with My Sister In Law, Whitney to help move all of the BIG Furniture. Which we seem to have a abundce of. Even though we hate moving, I'm loving that we have been able to go through all of our boxes and things and dump things we have had forever. We should be all moved in by Sunday. Ill have to post pic. of the new place and I'm sure we will send out a Family Newsletter with the new addy!

*

As if we aren't busy enough right now with the Move I start school on Saturday. Since I'm not working right now I will be able to focus all of my time and effort on school. Ill be finished with School & My Internship 2 weeks before Brenton is due. So lets hope he comes on time!

*

So after things calm down for a week or so things will be getting crazy again, because Grandpa & Grandma Garcia will be back for another visit! Yay! There coming up for Thanksgiving and Grandpas Birthday on Nov. 30th. Which means I have 1 week to get things organized at The New House and do My Schoolwork. Alan & I have already arranged to spend the whole day with Grandpa on his Birthday.

*

Day after Grandpa's Birthday we are headed to the airport to catch a flight to Boston. My Family is throwing me a Baby Shower & The Branch Christmas Party is ironically that same weekend. So we will be able to see probally the most people I've seen in a visit. I'm really glad Alan is able to go with me I've been somwhat nervous about flying by myself. Since your recommended not to fly 8-10 weeks before your due, I'll be cutting it close being in my 29th week while we are there. This will be the first time we have been back to MA since Moms Funeral. So I'm sure the trip will be filled of a lot of Bittersweet feelings.

*

For My Southern California Family & Friends you will probally be seeing me the last week of Dec. for Baby Shower #2. We are in the process of looking for a good flight for me to fly out on... aka direct. Since its only a hour plane ride I'm not as stressed flying there by myself.

*

I feel very blessed and thankful that we have so many people who care about Our Little Family. And we are just so excited to be able to see everyone within the next 4 weeks.

Happy Halloween!
