Sisters

I always wanted a sister. Brothers are no fun. They won't play barbies with you or dress up.

 I never thought I would have a sister until my brother married 13 years ago. I was in high school back then she took care of me, and still does even though I am 30 and have a kid. She is my big sister and always will be. She takes care of Wade when I need a sitter badly. She has stood by me (twice) as my maid of honor. Thank you for being my big sister.

                                                     oh.. and she is as weird as me

To my delight I received another sister... she is little, cute, and sometimes sweet hehe. I adore her she has a silly giggle, a sweet smile, and well I just love everything about her.  Thank you for being my little sister.

Finally summer has arrived in Missouri. We went from snow to tornadoes in a matter of weeks. I finished my spring semester of College. I have a 3 week break and then I start summer school Why you asked? I have to get this college thing over with! I have decided to change my major to nursing. Big deal for me and my family. Why did I decide to change you ask? Well...I look at jobs openings a lot and all I see are RN positions. I have always admired my nurse friends. When I worked in the ER overnight it was so exciting and fun I loved working there I saw a lot, but never got to really get in there and see that gun shot wound or give that shot to that annoying patient. hehe. I have talked to so many nurses and doctors I really think this is what is I want to do. Being an RN will give me many opportunities in many different places. I have two more semesters to get my pre-requirements in before I can apply for nursing!!! HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY 

Before I start all that...got to do the now stuff. Especially summer stuff. June is my birthday month a very special birthday for me. I plan to have fun every weekend in June. Started by floating and camping. Having a few  girls nights. Being in a special friends wedding Kayla's! Then ending my 20's and birthday month at the river floating and camping with my crazy friends! So extremely excited for this month. If only I didn't have to work or go to school for a month.  HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY

Wade is growing way too fast. He loves to sing like his parents. He helps me plant flowers. Helps daddy feed the cows. He is silly, ornery, sweet... he whispered "mommy I wove you" last night before he fell asleep....talk about melt your heart. I love him more than I ever knew I could love someone. I know Nick feels the same way. HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY

Nick's mama moved back to Missouri. We can't be any happier. (another babysitter and grandma to spoil him) Plus another Papa and Uncle to pester! :) If only the The Gandy's would move up here my life would be complete! HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY summer to all. 

The Last Days of Youth

Hello to a new year 2013 sounds really weird, and I hate writing it. 2012 brought a lot of happiness to the Harper's. Wade grew, and learned so much. Wade has learned all about hunting he has 2 bows, and 5 rifles (toy bows and rifles) He talks in sentences, he is so much fun. We have talked about NOT having anymore kids...I mean why mess with perfection?? We will see what the future brings, but for now we are happy spoiling Wade. 

Last year I finished 2 semesters of college. I am starting my spring semester Monday! I am taking Accounting, and Math so I should be very grumpy this semester. Oh yea and I am turning 30 in June! How did this happen? I am seeing all my classmates on Facebook turning 30, and I know my time is coming soon. I feel like I am on a ledge ready to jump off into oldness, grey hair, high blood pressure, and eyeglasses. I am hoping my friends throw me a huge 30th birthday (HINT HINT!!)

I didn't do any of my resolutions from last year. I still one day want to be more organized, learn to sew, have time to do my pinterest projects, exercise, find a house to buy, or build one, and have some savings. Those things are always in the back of my head. 

For now, I am going to focus on the now. Work threw finishing school, and finding my dream job, watching Wade grow, and learn. We are focusing on potty training. I have been giving him an Oreo each time he poops in the potty, but he just thinks every time he poops he gets an Oreo. Then he has a meltdown when I don't give him a Oreo  This potty training thing might take awhile. So we will see what the year my last year of my 20's brings me. 

Happy New Year and Happy Last Days of My Youth!!
