Long Time NO Blogging!!

A lot of things have gone on in the Andersen Family, and I figured before I did a major "Blog Overload" I should preface future posts with a brief update. 

So it has been two and a half years since my last post, and although Lyndsey does look adorable in these baby pictures, she has grown up into quite the little lady with a feisty personality.  Ian too has grown up so much that it kind of makes me teary-eyed looking at older pictures of him.  He is quite the smarty pants and have a very creative imagination. 

For the last year and a half I have been in school doing prerequisites for Nursing School, and working full time at the Huntsman Cancer Hospital ICU as a CNA.  Jared is still working as a music teacher for Cyprus HS, and is currently working on arranging percussion ensemble music in his "spare" time.
Besides working really hard and having lots of fun in the meantime we have some major changes approaching us with this new year.

I am just nearly finished getting my Nursing School application submitted....eeekkk I'm totally nervous about it...but really hoping to get in the first time.  I am applying to the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona.  I am able to get a master's degree in nursing there and it will make a great stepping stone towards my doctorate in nursing which is my ultimate goal....being a nurse practioner.  Of course we are nervous about this new adventure, but feel that as a family we are ready for a little change in scenery.  As a result of this upcoming adventure this will be Jared's last year teaching and will become the "stay at home dad."  He is excited for this new role, and I'm so thankful to have such a supportive Hubby. 

We have had many adventures in the last two and a half years, and now that I am not taking classes this semester I finally have time to update our blog.  Yeah!!  My goal is to keep it updated so that everyone will be involved in this crazy loop we call life.  In the next few weeks I will be adding/updating photos of the kids, and all the fun things we have done as a family.  So stay tuned because this going to be probably the most amazing update ever!  :)
