New Beginnings

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Yes, to all those who were wondering, I am still alive.
I'm happy to say that I have finished my Genealogy classes, which were the reason for my late disappearance, and I got an A in both classes. All that hard work and dedication paid off! Now that I'm done I have more free time on my hands. But not for long. In 28 days I'm moving back to Utah!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited about this I can hardly contain myself. I can't wait to see Calista and Michelle (if I decide to un-disown her by then) again. I will be stating the pack up within the week and slowly start the moving process. This time will not be a disaster!
So, I'm starting the new year off with a move and a new home and will hopefully I'll be ending it with sweat lullaby's (come on this one isn't hard). For those who haven't guessed, Jeff and I are going to start trying for little Lambert #2! I've been waiting for a long time for this, I'm so happy.

Still Alive

Yes, I'm still alive. I'm so sorry I haven't posted in a while but in my defense I have been extremely busy. Anyway, to those who have been demanding that I post, this one is for you. I have finally finished my list. For those who don't know what I'm talking about my friend Calista wrote a top ten of reasons why she hates her friends book. I have added to the funniness. So with out further adieu:

I'm Alive

Yes, to all those of you out there who are wondering, I am alive. I'm currently ou visiting my families in Colorado. I will be going home in about a week and it is bitter sweet. Bitter because I have received so much welcomed help with my son Jonny and I'd hate to leave that. Sweet because I miss my husband so much and I can't wait to see him again.
I've been distracting my time by reading the Twilight series and I must admit I have very mixed feelings about them. The hardest part for me was the fact that they were written or I guess I should say edited poorly. The author had so many things phrased and written backwards it drove me absolutely crazy. Maybe more so than others because I'm dyslexic and I already have a hard time reading. It's almost as if these books were written for me, but I kept rereading things because my mind wouldn't let me believe that it was really written wrong. Anyway, good story bad writing.
Everything else in life is going really well right now. I just started some online classes at the community college in Monterey and I'm looking forward to doing something for myself finally.
Sorry it's taken so long for me to post, I'll try not to keep all of my avid readers waiting so long next time.

Who read's me?

Does anybody read this? I know for a fact that two, well one now, people read my blog. But I wonder who else is reading it. I don't know. It use to bother me that not many people read my blog. I would read my other friends blogs and see that a lot of people read theirs. And I would be a little jealous that no one would read mine. But now I realize that it's better to have one good friend that you can confide everything to, than a hundred acquaintances and keep everything bottled up inside. I am blessed to have some really good friends that I can confide everything to. Hence my change of heart, now I don't care how many people read my blog. Because I now that the people who do read it are people who really care about me!

What to type?

I never know what to post any more. I sit here at the computer waiting for something to come to mind and most of the time nothing ever does. Hence the reason I don't post very often. Let alone the time, I have none! I still don't know what to say.
The only real exciting news is that I've recently read my friends book that she wrote and it is awesome and I can't wait for the revision so I can read it again. I'll be one of the first with a personally autographed copy when it gets published. And I know that that run on sentence up there is probably going to drive her crazy mad. Hehehehe!!!!!!

I'm Alive

Okay, so I know it's been a while but I have a good reason. I've been busy. I've been sick and so has Jonny and Jeff. But we're all better or getting better now. Anyway, life is still going well for me and my family. I've started a family blog now so I won't be talking to much about them on this blog now. So if you want to hear more about them then feel free to follow the link to my family blog called The Lambert Zoo, it's riot.
So not much to post this time other than I'm still alive and well. And I'll try to post more often now. Oh, Michelle you should call me I got a few hours on the computer today and I know you know what that means!! Calista you should call me too, because I haven't talked to you for a while and I miss you!!
P.S. I love Sundays. It's a great refresher day to prepare you for the new week to come. And a time to help me revive my enthusiasm for my church callings. Sundays Rock!!!

Finding Myself

Hello to all! I have finally manged to sneak in a moment on the computer. Amazingly enough it wasn't because of my son either, it was because of my wonderful husband who spends every free moment on it. Anyway enough about that I'm posting today because: one I wanted you to know I'm alive, and two I had an epiphany today! Yea, I have discovered what life is all about. Or at least mine. I have found my calling! I'm supper excited about it too!
Okay, so for as long as I can remember I have always been one who loves to help people work out their problems. I love helping people find solutions and happiness. Sometimes it's worked out great for me and others not so great but I have never lost that passion to always put a smile on a friends face. So as many already know I'm currently working on achieving my Bachelors in MFHD (Marriage Home and Family Development) so that I can go on to become a Marriage and Family counselor. This job just seemed so right for me to follow that I never considered why other than it's something I would love.
Okay, so my epiphany needs some background explanation to it. I was getting ready for a day out with the girls today doing my hair in my bathroom. I was contemplating ways I could help a friend who is having marital problems. As situations played out in my mind I kept thinking to myself (no it didn't hurt) well they might ask "How would you know how it feels, what I'm thinking, etc.?" So I thought about it as if answering my own question and my answer was because I've been there.
Our Saviour, Jesus Christ, suffered the sins of the world to save us and also so he could know exactly how to comfort us when we are in need of comfort. He is the perfect comforter because he has suffered all and knows exactly what we're going through or how we feel. Now, I am in no way comparing myself to the Saviour, because there is no comparison. But in a lesser way I have been through what these people are or have been through and for most problems I have experienced both sides of the story. So my strength as a counselor would be comprehension of the feelings and understanding of the reason why.
So it hit me just then. God absolutely has a plan for each of us and there are certain things we must experience to fulfill his plan. Jesus had to drink from the cup to fulfill God's plan for him. I had to suffer through my trials good and bad to get to this point where I realized that my pain is a way to help others heal.
I don't know how much of this really made any sense but I really just had to release all of this information that was buzzing around in my head today. I'm not trying to offend anyone so please don't take offense to any of this post.
