I FINALLY finished my online history class! Thanks to a good friend, Lindsay Christensen who babysat Theo for 5 hours, I was able to finish my paper and take the final. I almost didn't take it I was so stressed. See, it's my last class ever, and I have to pass the final to pass the class, and I have to pass the class to graduate. And I was feeling very uncomfortable cause I knew Theo was hungry and needed to nurse! But I faced my fear and took the final. There were 12 possible essay questions that could have been given me, and I'd have to write on two of them. I was so relieved to see that the two given me were the exact ones I was hoping for. Holy Cow. I almost cried. So afterwards, Lindsay picked me up and told me Theo ate almost a whole banana off her fingers as well as half a yogurt. (I told her she could feed him if he got super hungry.) She said, "He ate it like champ!" That was his first food ever, and I didn't get to be there. I'm kind of sad about that... Lindsay said it doesn't count... Well, I'm just glad he was able to have his hunger needs met.

So back to my goals: Wouldn't you know, I can't find the sheet of paper I wrote my goals down on! But I remember most of them anyway, so here I go:
*Note - these aren't in any particular order, except the first one is first priority.

-Graduate from BYU!
By - finishing my online history class (check)
and by finishing my internship (half way done)

-Get back into sewing.
I want to make lots of things, like baby wraps, infant leggings, curtains, a nursing dress, a blanekt, EC pants, etc...

-Become a La Leche League leader.

-Run a 5K with Theo in tow.

-Fully research graduate schools (electrical/nuclear engineering for Peter) that match locations for working at L-3 along with everything about the cities they're in.

-Become a photographer

-Compile a recipe book

-Make a Baby Book for Theo

-Read a book a month
The last one I read was Diaper Free by Ingrid Bauer. Any good book suggestions?

-Respond to Theo's wants and needs better (specifically his elimination needs so that he is diaper free by Christmas. He just went #1 and #2 in his potty!).

-Do my hair three times a week.

-Save for a house!
